Dutch Iris 
BULBOUS IRIS 
A glorious display of blue, white, bronze, and yellow flowers in 
June if you plant the bulbs of these beautiful Iris early in the fall. 
Flowers are suggestive of Orchids. Bulbs, for best results, should 
be planted early (September or October) in well-drained, sandy 
loam, 3 to 4 in. deep and 6 in. apart. In cold climates, mulch 
ground well after it is frozen. It is their nature to root early and 
often make top growth in December. 
Iric Flowers are larger, broader, and the falls usually 
l^UTCn ins apart than the Spanish type; they come 
into bloom one to two weeks earlier. Beautiful in the garden; 
lovely for cutting. Valuable for greenhouse forcing.
