IRISES. 
These may be called the “ Orchids ” of the flower garden, their blossoms competing in richness 
and variety of colour with the choicest and the most beautiful Orchids. 1 hey should be extensively 
planted in flower and shrubbery borders, and naturalised ; a judicious selection will give a display of 
bloom from Christmas to August. See our Hardy Plant Catalogue for all kinds of Flag Irises. 
BARR’S GRAND ENGLISH IRISES— British-grown Bulbs. 
June to July-flowering. 
These magnificent English Irises (I. xiphioides) thrive in any ordinary garden soil. The earlier 
the planting , after beginning of September , the greater the success, although the bulbs may be put in as late 
as December. The varieties offered are most distinct, and will be found as strikingly beautiful in colour 
as many of the sumptuous Orchids of the hothouse. They flower from end of June to beginning of July, 
thus succeeding the Bearded Flag Irises and Spanish Irises. As cut flowers they take a first place. 
Our main supplies of English Irises have hitherto been grown in Holland, but as the import of bulbs 
from that country is prohibited this year we have to rely upon home-grown bulbs, of which there is only 
quite a limited supply. The few sorts we offer are good, and we are sure will give satisfaction.
