BARR’S SPANISH IRIS-June-flowenngr. 
Iris Xiphion — the Orchid-like Bulbous Iris of Spain. 
The Spanish Irises flower a fortnight 
before the English, and differ from them con- 
siderably, the colours of the flowers being 
showier and mote varied. The curious and 
charming blendings of shades in the same 
flower give them the appearance of many of 
our rare orchids, with which they can well 
compete in grace and beauty. For vases and 
bouquets the cut flowers are greatly prized, as 
they last long when cut. and the buds open 
well in Witter. For filling flower-beds and 
massing in borders these elegant Irises are of 
the greatest value. The varieties forming 
our collection are the finest and most 
distinct in cultivation. They are easily 
grown in any good light soil either in an open 
or partially shaded situation. They will also 
bear very gentle forcing in pots, but this should 
not be attempted until the flower buds are 
developing.
