IRISES 
We strongly recommend these bulbous Irises for growing 
indoors and for protected outdoor plantings. The colors 
cannot be surpassed for richness, combination, and variety. 
The sorts offered are carefully selected and have proved 
to be the best. Dutch Iris and Iris filifolia are best de¬ 
scribed as early-flowering Spanish Irises with blooms of 
remarkable size and substance. The flowers of English 
Iris are similar in form to the Spanish Iris but larger in size.
