Bulbous Iris 
One of the most striking classes of Iris in the garden. Flowers are 
suggestive of Orchids. Bulbs, for best results, should be planted early 
(September or October) in well-drained, sandy loam, 3 to 4 in. deep 
and 6 in. apart. In cold climates, mulch ground well after it is frozen. 
English Iris 
A handsome hardy garden Iris blooming the latter part of 
June and early July—the latest of the bulbous type. Flow¬ 
ers are large and lovely for cutting. Needs winter protection 
in cold localities. English Iris are not suitable for forcing.
