WHOLESALE CATALOGUE. 
SPANISH IRIS. 
This is a most useful and economical bulb, which we be¬ 
lieve has escaped the attention of the American florist. In 
all the European cities it is grown in very large quantities 
for market. With very light protection it will withstand our 
most severe American Winters when planted outside, and 
will stand gentle forcing under glass. Under ordinary cul¬ 
tivation they flower toward the end of May, and can be made 
specially useful for Decoration Day purposes, either as a cut 
flower or in pots. The flowers are large, on long stalks, and 
very showy. 
We offer seven distinct varieties. Our selection was made 
from at least fifty sorts when seen growing in Europe. We 
oner large, selected bulbs. 
Small bulbs quoted elsewhere at lower prices, do not 
flower freely.
