Bulbous \RIS 
The gardener who has not grown Bulbous Irises has a treat in store. They 
require just about as little work and worry as anything we grow, and when 
the long stems produce their beautiful flowers one can be excused for uttering 
a gasp of astonishment. 
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 delightfully fragrant, adding to their 
cut-flower value. 
Culture. Plant in ordinary good soil 4 to 5 inches deep. Water freely durmg 
growing and blooming time.
