ENGLISH IRIS 
(Bulbous) 
If you have never grown this beautiful 
Iris, try a few bulbs; you will be delighted. 
They thrive in any ordinary garden soil, 
multiply very rapidly and are unexcelled 
for cut flowers. This species reached Neth- 
erlands through England, which accounts 
for its name. Flowers in late June and 
early July. Needs some protection in se- 
vere climates. Not for forcing.

This violet-scented dwarf Iris is a gem for 
the rock garden. Blooms very early, may be 
forced into bloom by Christmas. Should have a 
mulch of leaves in severe climates.
