THE BULBOUS IRISES 
Iris filifolia 
Dark purplish blue, with orange blotch. Individual flowers 
vary slightly in the shades of blue. A species akin to Hispanica, 
but flowering two weeks earlier. Requires slight protection. 25 
bulbs, 85 cts.; 100 bulbs, $3; 1,000 bulbs, $25. 
Iris Anglica 
These bulbous English Irises form a useful addition to the 
summer garden, flowering as they do after the Iris Hispanica. 
They are similar to them in color and shape, though the petals 
are broader, and suggest more the Iris Germanica in general 
appearance. Success with these bulbs depends on early planting 
in a situation where the bulbs may dry out during the summer. 
As absolute rest is essential, these Irises do best if lifted annually.
