Iris Tingitana Hybrid 
This Tingitana Hybrid is a distinct improvement over the French Tingitana, in 
that it can be depended upon to flower and in that it is hardier. Recent winters have 
shown us, however, that considerable care should be taken in planting these bulbs out- 
doors and we recommend them only for greenhouse forcing. Plant the bulbs in deep pots 
as soon as received, plunge the pots in beds and cover with a 2-inch layer of pure soil. 
If necessary, cover this with straw or litter as a frost protection. Bring the pots into the 
greenhouse towards the time frost can be expected and keep them cold but frost-safe 
(40-50° Fahr.). As soon as the buds are palpable, the temperature can be increased 
gradually to 55° Fahr. It should be kept in mind that irises want more water than any 
other bulbs. For very early forcing only the top size bulbs should be used.
