BARR’S SPANISH IRISES—J une-flowering. 
These Spanish Irises (Iris Xiphium) flower a fortnight before the English, and differ from them con¬ 
siderably in colour and form. The curious and charming blendings of shades in the same flower give 
them the appearance of orchids, with which they can well compete in grace and beauty. For vases 
and bouquets the cut flowers are greatly prized, as they last long and the buds open well in water. 
For flower-beds and massing in borders the Spanish Irises are of the greatest value and are easily 
grown in any good light soil either in an open or partially shaded situation. Plant in September or early 
October 3 to 4 inches deep measuring from shoulder of bulb. They will also bear very gentle forcing in 
pots, but this should not be attempted until the flower buds are developing.
