ENGLISH IRIS 
( Bulbous) 
Mixed 
For Outdoor Planting Only 
Although called English Iris, this lovely bulbous Iris originally came from the 
alpine meadows of the Pyrenees. In the sixteenth century, it made itself at home 
in England, hence, its name. It is extremely hardy and loves a cool, moist soil. 
The English Iris have been almost non-existent in the United States, and could 
not be imported. Fortunately, we located a farm in Michigan where these Iris 
can be grown to perfection very successfully. Starting with a small stock, we 
have built up what is doubtless the finest stock of English Iris in America. 
They come in mixed colors including numerous shades of blue, purple, white, 
veined and feathered. To place these fine bulbous Iris within the reach of every 
flower lover, we have dropped the prices surprisingly low.

Like the English Iris, the ancestors of the Dutch Iris came from Spain. The 
race has been bred and hybridized in Holland, increasing in size, earliness and 
variety of coloring. 
We have selected 6 of the most outstanding varieties. They bloom ahead of 
the German Iris, at a period when Iris are scarce in most gardens. 
Plant them in well drained soil about 5 inches deep. We recommend a heavy 
mulch during the winter.
