Bulbous Irises, 
IRIS HOLLANDICA (Dutch Iris). 
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 as cutflowers, as they will stand any 
amount of handling and traveling. Being so much earlier, they 
are very valuable for forcing. 
Their hardiness and large range of colors makes them very 
useful for garden purposes.
