New Iris Hollandica or Dutch Iris. 
IRIS XIPHIUM. 
This very distinctive group is of very recent origin and has 
in a few years won international recognition. The flowers are 
not only superior in substance, brilliancy and purity of color, 
but also earlier, larger and of greater refinement than the old 
Dutch and Spanish Iris. 
These Iris are unsurpased ?s cutflowers, as they will stand 
any amount of handling and traveling. Being so much ear¬ 
lier, they are very valuable for forcing. 
Their hardiness and large range of colors makes them very 
useful for garden purposes.
