IRIS, DUTCH VARIETIES 
These bulbous iris are the results of crossing His- 
panica on such varieties as filifolia, tingitana, lusi- 
tanica and others. They have more robust stems 
than the Spanish iris, also blooming in advance of 
them. All of these Iris are fine in the garden being 
perfectly hardy if planted in well drained ground an 
average of 4 inches deep. They flower just as the 
bearded (German) iris are passing. Prices are now
