DUTCH IRIS 
This group of Bulbous Iris is of recent introduction. They 
are very superior to the old Spanish types; have more substance, 
bloom earlier, and the stems are longer. The brillianecy and 
purity of color of these orchid-like flowers is unsurpassed. As 
cut flowers they remain in good condition for a remarkable 
length of time, and in the garden have a blooming range of 
about six weeks. Although they are very hardy, a mulch will 
be beneficial in extreme climates. Plant 5 inches deep.
