This magnificent mixture of bulbous English 
Iris has been developed at our nurseries, and con- 
tains all the choicest varieties which can possibly 
be had in these fine Iris. The English Iris are a 
bulbous Iris which bloom in our latitude about the 
early part of July, and come after all other bulbous 
Iris. They should be planted as soon after the 
beginning of September as possible for best re- 
sults. They prefer the more moist and heavier 
soils, and should have good drainage. The blooms 
of the English Iris are considered to be the finest 
of any in the Iris class, and each individual bloom 
is strikingly beautiful, and as cut flowers they are 
unsurpassed. We are offering them in a fine mix- 
ture of colors. $1.75 per doz.; $12.50 per 100.
