ARTISTIC SPANISH IRIS 
This race is a very old one, but the variet¬ 
ies have been greatly improved during the 
latter years. The flowers are smaller than those of the Dutch variety and their stems are 
more slender, but they are beautiful gracefully shaped flowers. They flower about a fortnight 
later than the Dutch Iris and are. strongly recommended for garden as well as for their 
cutting qualities. The finest effects are produced when planted in clumps in the perennial 
border. Cultivation : Flowering period from the middle of June onwards : for further direc¬ 
tions see Dutch Iris. Per 100 OC !«■ tf> IA
