has a treat in store. They require just about as little

long stems produce their beautiful flowers one can

Among the Bulbous Irises we have exquisite 
white varieties, rich yellows, and lovely bicolors 
with standards of one color and falls of another. 
While some varieties are scentless, others are de- 
lightfully fragrant, adding to their cut-flower value.
