Spurias 
These are so different from all other Beardless Species and Hybrids, and the number of them is so extensive, as to 
deserve a separate sub-division. The flowers are quite unlike all other Iris, and are very artistic, making exquisite cut 
flowers. They are hardy anywhere. While not indispensable to their success, they prefer a moist spot and make a 
most imposing effect in the garden. Cultural directions accompany all shipments.
