DUTCH IRIS 
This group of Bulbous Iris is of recent intro- 
duction. They are very superior to the old 
Spanish types; having more substance, bloom 
earlier, and 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 remarkable 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 inches deep. 
Numbers in parenthesis used in descriptions 
represent time of blooming, (1) being earliest 
and (7) the latest; 24” equals height in inches.
