Vtech, onglih and Spanish Be 
These Irises are exquisite in shape reminding one of butterflies and 
the colors are varied and beautiful. They come in tones of pale to 
dark blue, yellow, white, purple and two-toned effects. Some of 
the blue and gold ones are handsomely bronzed. They have been 
called “the poor man’s Orchid’ because of their extreme beauty, 
ease of culture and low price. 
All three kinds are easily grown. The Spanish and Dutch varieties 
need only a sunny well-drained position in ordinary garden soil 
with a little winter protection in the colder parts of the country. 
The English Iris prefer a loamy soil and slightly more moisture than 
do the Dutch and Spanish. Like the others they require a sunny 
location.
