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, and 6 to 8 inches apart, 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 bul¬ 
bous Iris be sure to include some of these in your order.
