IRISES 
BULBS 
These fine irises are not grown as 
much as they deserve to be. For gar¬ 
den decoration and as cut flowers 
they are graceful and long lasting. 
The colors are clear and delightful. 
By proper choice of varieties one can 
have blooms for two months or more. 
Wedgewood comes first, followed by 
the other Dutch varieties, then the 
Spanish, and finally the beautiful 
English irises end the season. The 
Dutch irises we list here are mostly 
the new de Graaff hybrids which are 
rapidly superseding the older vari¬ 
eties. These varieties are distin¬ 
guished by a narrow stripe of bright 
orange-yellow on the falls. 
Iris bulbs should be planted about 4 
inches deep in well drained soil. 
October planting is probably best in 
most parts of the country. Where the 
winters are severe the beds should be 
mulched after the freezing begins. 
They should have an ample supply 
of moisture during their growing 
period but should be kept quite dry 
during the summer.
