Iris, try a few bulbs; you will be delighted.

multiply very rapidly and are unexcelled for

July. Needs some protection in severe cli- 
mates. Not for forcing.

DUTCH IRIS 
This group of Bulbous Iris is of recent introduc- 
tion. They are very superior to the old Spanish 
types; have more substance, bloom earlier, and the 
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 _ re- 
markable 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 inchees deep. 
Numbers in parenthesis used in descriptions rep- 
resent time of blooming. (1) being the earliest and
