CULTURE OF DUTCH IRISES 
Dutch irises have bulbs, not rhizomes, and must be 
planted in the fall. We ship from September 1st to 
November 1st. If you have not tried these plants in 
your garden, you will be delighted with the results 
you will get from our clean, healthy bulbs. Dutch 
irises are especially desirable for cutting, as they are 
easy to handle and will keep for many days. 
Plant from 2 to 4 inches deep and about 4 inches 
apart. They are most effective when used in masses, 
as you would tulips or daffodils. Perfectly hardy 
except in extremely cold sections, where they should 
have the protection of a mulch of hay, or tree boughs. 
WEDGEWOOD 
This iris is a Tingitana hybrid, and Rowers from ten days to two 
weeks ahead of the other Dutch irises For this reason Wedgewood 
is especially desirable for early flower shows, where it always 
creates a sensation. The flowers are a bright wedgewood blue, with 
the falls lighter than the standards. Plant about 5 inches deep, as the 
bulbs are quite large. $1.25 a dozen; $8.50 per 100 
YELLOW OUEEN 
The popular tall stemmed early clear yellow. Excellent for forcing or 
for outside planting. One of the tallest. 75c per doz.; $5.00 per 100
