In a fine mixture of colors, 80c per doz.; $5.75 per 100. 
This magnificent mixture of bulbous Engish Iris has been de¬ 
veloped at our own nurseries, and contains all the choicest 
varieties which can possibly be had in these fine Iris. The English 
Iris are a bulbous Iris which bloom in our latitude about the 
early part of July, and come after all other Iris are through 
blooming. They should be planted as soon after the beginning 
of September as possible for best results. They prefer the more 
moist and heavier soils, and should have good drainage. The 
blooms of the English Iris are considered to be the finest of any 
in the Iris class, and each individual bloom is strikingly beautiful, 
and as cut flowers they are unsurpassed. For those who prefer 
named varieties we are listing as follows:
