Bulbous Irises 
Bulbous Irises of the Dutch and Spanish groups have 
become very popular. Their flowers, graceful as orchids, 
are valuable as cutflowers and also lend themselves admir¬ 
ably for display plantings in the flower garden. On account 
of their wide color range in pastel shades, beautiful color 
pictures can be created.
