DUTCH IRIS 
This year, we are listing two sizes of 
bulbs, large and medium. For outside 
and for cold glass, medium will give 
splendid results in most cases. Gen¬ 
erally, they will flower nearly as well 
as the large, but the difference, of 
course, will be noticeable of the grow¬ 
ing conditions are unfavorable. The 
large bulbs will stand a little more 
abuse. Please note, however, that 
Golden Bronze and Golden Lion are 
of a different type (Spanish) and the 
bulbs are not as large as those of the others. Wedge- 
wood grades two sizes larger than the rest although the 
results will be the same. The Dutch iris are unsur¬ 
passed as cut flowers, as they keep from ten to four¬ 
teen days and their hardiness and wide color range 
have made them most popular for gar¬ 
den purposes. The varieties we are 
offering are the best of the world 
famous DeGraff hybrids, and are a dis¬ 
tinct improvement over the other 
Dutch and Spanish iris commonly sold. 
As with the bearded iris, we send out 
only the finest stock. Each variety 
will be labeled unless specified other¬ 
wise. Planting season for Dutch iris 
is from September 15 to November 
I 5. Dutch iris are grown from small 
bulbs, and have long, wiry stems. They can be planted 
in very small space, and are most easily grown, and re¬ 
quire little care. They are hardy except in the extremely 
cold sections of the country, where they should have a 
good mulch of salt hay or tree boughs during the winter.
