These magnificent bulbous Irises are larger in 
all their parts than the Dutch and Spanish. 
Larger flowers, broader of leaf, altogether more 
sturdy in appearance and very showy. 
The leaves do not make their appearance un¬ 
til spring, and the large handsome flowers come 
during the latter part of June and early July, thus 
succeeding the Bearded, Dutch and Spanish. 
They are the latest of the bulbous Iris to bloom 
and as cut flowers take first place. The colors 
are more beautiful when cut just as the bud starts 
to unfurl and allowed to open in the dark in 
water. 
English Iris thrive in any good garden soil but 
prefer a moist loam rich in humus. Give full sun, 
except in hot climates, where partial shade will 
be appreciated, with plenty of moisture during the spring 
months while growing. They are quite hardy and success¬ 
fully grown in cold climates. 
English Iris 
Garden 
Orchids 
The earlier the planting after the beginning of September 
the better. Place the bulbs at least 3 inches deep, and 8 to 10 
inches apart, measuring from the shoulder of the bulb. English 
Iris bulbs do not require annual lifting, but may be left in the 
ground until the clump becomes crowded. 
This Iris has been scarce, but we have developed the finest 
stock in the United States and are offering the mixed colors at 
attractive prices that they may be more generally grown. 
SUNSET (See illustration) is one of the most charming 
of English Iris. It has the color of Cattleya Orchids—a 
delicate shade of rosy tinted lilac. Groups of 7 to 9 bulbs 
along the border are most attractive and add a delight¬ 
ful touch of color. Sunset is a clean, strong growing Iris 
reaching a height of 19 inches, and is offered at these 
most attractive prices: POSTPAID
