IRIS 
LARGE-FLOWERED XIPHIUM HYBRIDS. 
These closely resemble the Spanish Irises, but differ 
from them in having larger flowers of greater substance 
and blooming about a fortnight earlier. They are also 
generally taller and more robust in growth, and make fine 
decorative border plants. The bulbs should be planted 
from September to October 3 to 4 inches deep and be 
treated similarly to the Spanish Irises. In very cold 
districts a light covering should be given during the winter 
frosts. For forcing these Irises will be found of great value.
