BULBOUS IRIS 
Dutch Iris 
Imperator 
A glorious display of blue, white, 
bronze, and yellow flowers in June 
if you plant the bulbs of these beau¬ 
tiful Iris early in the fall. 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. It is their nature 
to root early and often make top growth in December. 
English Iris 
Tricolor 
Flowers are larger, broader, and 
i* IS the falls usually wider apart than 
the Spanish type; they come into bloom one to two weeks 
earlier. Beautiful in the garden; lovely for cutting. Valuable 
for greenhouse forcing. {See back cover for color illustration.)
