Irises (Bulbous Rooted) 
It would be difficult to name any other hardy bulbs that repay the trouble of culti- 
vation better than the Iris. Their blossoms complete in richness and variety of colors 
with the choicest and most beautiful Orchids. They are most easy to cultivate and 
succeed splendid in almost any soil. For Vases and Bouquets the flowers are greatly 
praised, as they last very long when cut and the buds open well in water.
