THE DUTCH IRIS 
The popularity of the bulbous iris (Dutch, Spanish and English) 
increases each year as more people learn of the great beauty 
and ease of culture of these bulbs. Because of their beau- 
tiful, harmonious colors and long lasting quailties they are 
unexcelled among the bulb flowers for either garden 
or cut flowers. By proper choice of varieties one can 
spread the blooming period over two months or 
more. The season starts with Wedgwood during the 
Darwin Tulip season and ends with the Eng- 
lish Iris in June.

An enchanting dwarf iris like a Dutch Iris on six 
inch stems but with surprisingly large flowers for 
so dwarf a plant. It blooms very early out of doors.
