Spurias 
T HESE are so different from all other Beardless Species and Hybrids, and the number of them is so extensive, 
as to deserve a separate sub-division. The flowers are quite unlike all other Iris, and are very artistic, mak¬ 
ing exquisite cut flowers. They are hardy anywhere. While not indispensable to their success, they prefer 
a moist spot and make a most imposing effect in the garden. Cultural directions accompany all shipments.
