SPURIAS 
These are beardless iris. The foliage resembles that of cat o-nine- 
tails. The flowers are shaped like the Spanish and Dutch iris but 
they are larger and are carried on stems three to five feet high. 
They are not only very effective in the garden but are excellent for 
cutting. The plants can be left in place for many years without 
the need of transplanting.
