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 col- 
oring and substance of the flowers, long stems and lasting 
qualities, and earliness of bloom. 
Dutch Iris are easy to grow, making a brilliant display of color, and fur- 
nishing 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. 
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.

fine as a cut-flower. Earliest of all. 
White Excelsior. Pure snowy white, of 
heavy texture; falls very broad. Me- 
dium early.
