DUTCH IRIS 
This group of Bulbous Iris is of recent introduc¬ 
tion. They are very superior to the old Spanish 
types ; have more substance, bloom earlier, and the 
stems are longer. The brilliancy and purity of color 
of these orchid-like flowers is unsurpassed. As cut 
flowers they remain in good condition for a re¬ 
markable length of time, and in the garden have a 
blooming range of about six weeks. Although they 
are very hardy, a mulch will be beneficial in ex¬ 
treme climates. Plant 5 inchees deep. 
Numbers in parenthesis used in descriptions rep¬
