Tingitana Hybrids. 
The following varieties are not quite hardy and should be used 
for greenhouse forcing only. It is understood, that the Iris Hol- 
landica are also excellent for forcing. 
Selected large bulbs, such as offered in this catalog, will 
succeed best for early forcing; they should be potted up imme¬ 
diately in deep pots, iy 2 inches apart, whereby most any clean 
soil may be used; a little decomposed manure, thoroughly 
mixed will help, in case the soil is very poor. Water soil before 
potting, because Iris never start in dry soil. Plunge pots outside, 
bringing them in the greenhouse around November 15th., keeping 
them cool. Iris do not stand a high temperature. As soon as the 
buds are palpable, the temperature may be increased gradually 
until they are ready. Be sure to water frequently.
