LAGOMARSINO’S SELECTED DUTCH IRIS 
Dutch Iris are proving to be one of the most satisfactory of all spring 
flowering bulbs, and justly deserving of much wider and general usage. 
They differ from Spanish Iris, in that the flowers are broader, the falls 
usually wider apart, the lips larger, and the blooming period several 
weeks earlier. 
Location: Warm sunny location preferable. 
Culture: Drainage must be good. Set bulbs 6 in. to 1 ft. apart, 4 to 5 
in. deep. In our section they start growth immediately, sending leaves 
up during winter months. Best to leave undisturbed for several years 
to permit development of large beautiful clumps. 
Use: Superb for cutting; exquisite in the garden in large groups, or 

Dutch Iris planted in rows in bed arrangements.
