BULBOUS IRIS 
A glorious display of blue, white, bronze, and yellow flowers 
in June if you plant the bulbs of these beautiful Iris early in the 
fall. Flowers are suggestive of Orchids. Bulbs, for best results, 
should be planted early (September or October) in well-drained, 
sandy loam, 3 to 4 in. deep and 6 in. apart. In cold climates, 
mulch ground well after it is frozen. It is their nature to root 
early and often make top growth in December. 
=" Flowers are larger, broader, and the falls usu- 
D utch Ir IS ally wider apart than the Spanish type; they 
come into bloom one to two weeks earlier. Beautiful in the 
garden; lovely for cutting. Valuable for greenhouse forcing.
