BULBOUS IRIS—Holland Type 
One of the most satisfactory .groups to grow, 
being particularly hardy in most states, but should 
be well covered during the winter, with straw 
or leaves, in the east. 
The orchid-like flowers are of great beauty, 
having many different shades and blendings of 
color, and if cut in the bud will keep for a long 
time in water. For best effect, they should be 
planted in clumps of 25 or more bulbs, or are 
very satisfactory placed in a long row in the 
hardy border. Plant in early fall, six inches apart. 
They bloom soon after the Daffodil season.
