BULBOUS 
IRISES 
Few bulbous plants are as easy 
to grow as the bulbous Iris. 
We offer three types, Dutch 
which is a splendid improvement 
over the old Spanish, the English, 
and a hybrid type known as 
Wedgwood. The Dutch are very 
hardy and are useful for outdoor 
planting as well as for indoor 
growing. The English are useful 
for outdoor planting and follow 
the Dutch in bloom. 
Culture. Bulbs of Dutch and 
English when planted outdoors should 
be planted 4 to 5 inches deep.
