Dutch Iris 
This group of Bulbous Iris is of recent introduction. They 
are very superior to the old Spanish types; have more sub¬ 
stance, bloom earlier, and the stems are longer. The bril¬ 
liancy and purity of color of these Orchid-like flowers is 
unsurpassed. As cut flowers they remain in good condi¬ 
tion for over a week; and in the garden have a blooming 
range of about six weeks. Although they are very hardy, a 
mulch will be very beneficial in extreme climates. Prices 
quoted are for first size blooming bulbs.
