Bulbous Irises. 
IRIS HOLLANDICA (Dutch Iris). 
This very distinctive group is of very recent origin and has in a few 
years won international recognition. The flowers are not only superior 
in substance, brilliance and purity of color, but also earlier, larger 
and of greater refinement than the old Dutch and Spanish Iris. 
These Iris are unsurpassed as cutflowers, as they will stand any amount 
of handling and traveling. Being so much earlier, they are very 
valuable for forcing. 
Their hardiness and large range of colors makes them very useful 
for garden purposes.
