DMIRERS of the iris will find, this 
A group to be valuable additions to their 
collections. Flowering in late June and 
zarly July, they follow the bearded and 
Siberian irises, prolonging the display and 
producing flowers of a distinct type and 
quality of coloring. The colors are clear and 
brilliant, and the petals are delicate, but of 
excellent substance. They make quality cut 
flowers, lasting fully a week in water. 
Bulbs should be dug each year after foliage 
has turned brown. They should be cured 
quickly in a dry location, and only the largest 
bulbs should be replanted fr flowering. [he 
smaller bulbs can be grown in a nursery row 
until they reach flowering size. 
An, Tingitana Wedgewood 
For indoor use and protected plantings. A seedling 
of the old favorite Tingitana that is just as early, 
hut a much more reliable bloomer. The small culti- 
vator will do better to plant his bulbs, six or eight 
according to size, in a seven- or eight-inch pot, rather 
than in ordinary shallow boxes. They must be kept 
cool, 45 degrees or so, until the buds are out of the 
neck. A great cut flower. Light blue in color. 8-9 
ctms. for outdoor planting. Doz., 85c; 100, $6.00;

ordinary garden soil but prefer a good loam. The 
earlier the planting, after beginning of September, 
the greater the success; the bulbs should be planted 
4 inches deep. They flower from end of June to 
beginning of July thus succeeding the Bearded Flag 
Irises, Eariy Xiphium and Spanish Irises.
