DUTCH IRIS 
Large Flowering Early Xiphiums 
The flowers of the Dutch Iris are broader, the falls usually wider apart 
and the lips larger than the Spanish type. They are about two weeks 
earlier, blooming right after the Cottage Tulips. Wonderful for cutting, 
opening nicely even if cut in bud, and lasting a long time. The delicate 
perfume is a great asset. Relative time of flowering under glass indicated 
after each variety ( ).
