DUTCH IRIS 
This group of Bulbous Iris is of recent introduction. They are very superior 
to the old Spanish types; have more substance, bloom earlier, and the stems 
are longer. The brilliancy and purity of color of these orchid-like flowers is 
unsurpassed. As cut flowers they remain in good condition for a remarkable 
length of time, and in the garden have a blooming range of about six weeks. 
Although they are very hardy, a mulch will be beneficial in extreme climates.
