Dutch and Spanish Iris 
These two bulbous Irises are very much alike in form and general 
habits as well as requirements. The Dutch are earlier and have flowers 
slightly larger. The Spanish are later and have taller and more slender 
stems. They are among the prettiest of all the spring flowers for cutting 
and garden decoration and are orchid-like in their beauty of form and 
color. They are easily grown and will do well in full sun or partial shade. 
Plant 3 to 4 inches deep, measuring from the shoulder of the bulb, in 
any rich light soil that has good winter drainage. They make an early 
start, in mild climates producing leaves which are persistent during the 
winter. In colder parts provide a mulch. They flower from early May into 
June. If you have never grown bulbous Iris be sure to include some of 
these in your order.
