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 prized for cutting. 
Date Tres 
Flowers are larger, broader, and the falls usually wider 
apart than the Spanish type; they come into bloom one to 
two weeks earlier. Beautiful in the garden; lovely for cut- 
ting. Valuable for greenhouse forcing.
