Spanish Iris. 
Since the new Dutch iris we offer are so far superior, we do not offer in this list 
any of the old Spanish types. We have, however, two unique novelties with ruffled 
petals, which we recommend strongly.

Iris Tingitana Hybrids. 
The two Tingitana Hybrids we offer are a distinct improvement over the French 
Tingitana iris, in that they can be depended upon to flower and in that they are 
hardier. Recent winters have shown us, however, that considerable care should be 
taken in planting these bulbs outdoors and we recommend them only for greenhouse 
forcing. Plant the bulbs in deep pots as soon as received, plunge the pots in beds 
and cover with a 2-inch layer of pure soil. If necessary, cover this with straw or 
litter as a frost protection. Bring the pots into the greenhouse towards the time 
frost can be expected and keep them cold but frost-safe (40-50° Fahr.). As soon as 
the buds are palpable, the temperature can be increased gradually to 55 0 Fahr. It 
should be kept in mind that irises want more water than any other bulbs. For very 
early forcing only the top size bulbs should be used.
