Beautiful Dutch Iris 
One of our most lovely varieties of spring flowers, 
Dutch Iris are grown from bulbs, like Tulips. Similar to 
Spanish Iris, they have generally replaced these, both as 
cut flowers and in the garden. They are superior in 
every way, beauty of coloring and substance of the flow- 
ers, long stems and lasting qualities, and earliness of 
bloom. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
Plant Dutch Iris bulbs in sun or partial shade, in separate beds 
or among other flowers, and in front of shrubbery. Plant about 
three inches deep, and keep the plants well watered after foliage 
appears. Bulbs should be set out as early as possible.

Dutch Iris are easy to grow, making a brilliant display 
of color, and furnishing an abundance of lovely, long- 
keeping cut flowers. 
Our low prices for these fine bulbs make it possible for 
you to plant a large collection of Dutch Iris, to have them 
in flower over a long period. Plant them in great masses, 
in borders, and in groups all around your garden.
