Vincents DUTCH IRIS 
Dutch Iris give a wealth of bloom and fine cut flowers. They make a fine 
addition to the garden. In fact they can be grown successfully all over the coun- 
try. The usual height varies from one foot to almost two feet, according to the 
variety. All have neat looking flowers on stiff erect stems and a basal tuft of 
narrow leaves quite distinct from those of the garden iris. They bloom quite 
early but extend over the period of garden iris so they may be planted for color- 
ful effects among the iris in the garden. The bulbs may be left in the ground 
from year to year but in cold climates a liberal mulch is advisable. 
Plant the bulbs as soon as practicable, 3 to 4 inches deep, and 8 to 12 inches 
apart. By planting clumps of 8 to 10 bulbs a more effective flowering may be 
had and the spacing may be reduced by a couple inches or so. 
If the flowers are cut for the house try not to cut the leaves since these are 
needed to produce the flowers for next year. With this thought the bulbs should 
be allowed to grow as long as they will to build up flower buds rather than cutting 
| the leaves off as soon as the flowering is over.

Freesias 
Freesias are easy to grow. They can 
be grown outdoors only in the warmer 
states but elsewhere require planting in 
pots for the house or conservatory. The 
flowers are quite colorful and deliciously 
fragrant. Colors are all of pastels. 
Use a good rich loam soil for potting, 
setting bulbs an inch or two apart. Out- 
doors plant bulbs 3 to 6 inches apart and 
cover with about 2 inches of soil. 
Colors: Golden yellow, pink, red, or- 
ange, and white.

Crocus 
Crocus are among the earliest flow- 
ers to bloom in spring and perfectly hardy 
anywhere. They are colorful in beds, as 
a border plant or in the lawn. Plants are 
only about 4 inches high and may be used 
to good effect in the rock garden in bold 
clumps. 
Plant 2 inches deep and no closer than 
2 inches.
