Dutch Dris Give You Great Beauty at Little Cost 
In England the Dutch Iris is proudly called ‘‘the poor man’s orchid.’’ It deserves the name. The orchid-like 
blooms are rich in captivating colors, ranging from pure white through golden yellow to cornflower-blue, dark 
violet and deep purple. They’re superb for cutting, stand a lot of handling and last a week or longer in water. 
Also, the bulbs multiply rapidly and when once established, the colony continues to increase, giving you more 
flowers each year. Few bulbs are as inexpensive and prolific. They repay you with generous beauty, asking little 
in return except a sunny spot, well drained, and a little winter protection in the colder parts of the country.

English Iris 
These magnificent bulbous Irises thrive in any ordinary garden soil but 
prefer a good loam. The earlier the planting, after beginning of September, 
the greater the success; the bulbs should be planted 4 inches deep. The 
varieties contained in our mixture, we have especially selected as being the 
very finest and most distinct in cultivation, and they will be found as 
strikingly beautiful in color as many of the sumptuous Orchids. They flower 
from end of June to beginning of July, thus succeeding the Bearded Flag 
Irises, Early Xiphium and Spanish Irises. As cut flowers they take a first 
place.

Iris Species 
Reticulata (Fragrant Iris) Three 85c, Doz. $3.00, 100 $21.00 
This lovely species is one of the treasures of the garden or rock garden. 
It can be described as a small form of the Spanish or Dutch Iris. Its 
main value lies in the fact that it may be forced into bloom in the 
house with the greatest ease. Six or eight bulbs put into a 4- to 5-inch 
pot when received will bloom about Christmas time. The fragrant blos- 
soms remind one of a bunch of fresh violets. Perfectly hardy with 
reasonable protection. It is one of the loveliest early flowering bulbs for 
the rockery. To show it off well, plant a number of bulbs under the 
white Arabis Alpina; you'll enjoy the results more than we can tell you.
