BULBOUS IRIS 
Dutch Iris 
This group of Bulbous Iris is of recent intro¬ 
duction. They are very superior to the old 
Spanish types; have more substance, 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 condition for a remarkable 
length of time, and in the garden have a 
blooming range of about six weeks. Although 
they are very hardy, a mulch will be beneficial 
in extreme climates. Plant 5 inches deep. 
Numbers in parenthesis used in descriptions 
represent time of blooming, (1) being the earli¬ 
est and (7) the latest. 24" equals height in 
inches.
