DUTCH IRIS 
These bulbous iris are the results of cross¬ 
ing Hispanica on such varieties as filifolia, 
tingitana, lusitanica and others. They have 
more robust stems than the Spanish iris, also 
blooming in advance of them. All of these Iris 
are fine in the garden being perfectly hardy if 
planted in well drained ground an average of 
4 inches deep. They flower just as the bearded 
(German) iris are passing. Prices are now 
within the reach of all.
