grows to a height of at least 2 feet. The straight, strong stems carry

yellow blotch touched with orange on each lower lip. The normal flower¬

Christmas. (See “Pre-Cooled” Stock). Plant in 6- or 7-inch pots or deep 
flats. Place outside to root similar to Tulips and later bring into a 
temperature of 50 degrees. When budded, they can be given more heat to 
hasten flowering.

Ideal Greenhouse and Frame Cut Flowers 
Dutch or Holland Iris 
Delivery during September-October 
This bulbous type of Iris has become exceedingly popular for green¬ 
house culture as cut flowers, and for outdoor planting. Their ease of cul- 
lure and charming clear colors together with strong, wiry stems, make 
them valuable for cutting and decorative purposes. 
They resemble the “Spanish Iris,” but are more vigorous in growth, 
have larger flowers, and bloom about two weeks earlier. For indoor 
blooming plant in deep flats, grow in cool temperature, and do not allow 
to become dry. For outdoors plant the bulbs about 3 or 4 inches deep 
and 2 or more inches apart. They prefer sandy soil but will succeed in 
almost any soil. 
Special Pre-Cooled Stock 
Wedgewood, Pre-Cooled. Specially prepared 
bulbs of this splendid forcing Iris, which can easily 
be brought into bloom by Christmas and even much 
earlier. The bulbs must be potted or planted imme¬ 
diately upon receipt. Allow at least 4 inches for root 
growth. They should be buried in a cool, shady place or root 
cellar, at not more than 50 degrees temperature. As soon as the 
warm autumn days are over they can be brought into the green¬ 
house and grown at 55 degrees, gradually raising to 60 degrees 
night temperature. Never allow them to get dry.
