Paul J. Howard’s 
SPANISH IRIS 
(Dutch Iris) 
Now that the bulbs of these lovely Iris, among the prettiest 
of all spring liowers, can be obtained at much lower prices, 
you will want to plant a quantity of them in your gardens. 
For cutting and garden-decoration they are orchid-like in 
beauty. 
Unlike the German Iris, the Spanish and Dutch Iris are 
grown from bulbs. They are easily raised in full sun or partial 
shade. 
Paul J. Howard’s extra large bulbs are the size pre¬ 
ferred by commercial growers of cut flowers because 
they produce superior blossoms. You will find them de¬ 
cidedly better in your own garden. 
Our list includes only the Dutch type which make 
larger bulbs, bloom earlier, and have larger flowers of 
better form.
