TINGITANA HYBRIDS. 
The following varieties are not quite hardy and should be used for 
greenhouse forcing only. It is understood, that the Iris Hollandica are 
also excellent for forcing. 
Selected large bulbs, such as offered in this catalog, will succeed best 
for early forcing; they should be potted up immediately in deep pots, 
4 inches apart, whereby most any clean soil may be used; a little 
decomposed manure, thoroughly mixed will help, in case the soil is 
very poor. Water soil before potting, because Iris never start in dry 
soil. Plunge pots outside, bringing them in the greenhouse around 
November 15th, keeping them cool. Iris do not stand a high tempera- 
ture. As soon as the buds are palpable, the temperature may be in- 
creased gradually until they are ready. Be sure to water frequently. 
TINGITANA THE FIRST. Standards and falls beautiful marine-blue; 
strong stems, excellent forcer; height 24 inches.

well formed flower fine for forcing.
