DUTCH IRIS 
These exquisite Iris of brilliant colors and su- 
perb cut-flower qualities have often been referred to 
as “the poor man’s Orchid”. Their ease of culture 
and low price has brought indescribable beauty to 
even the tiniest of gardens. 
All varieties are easily grown outdoors or forced 
under glass. Flowers can be cut while in bud, or 
just on the verge of opening, as they will open well 
in water and last a great deal longer. In areas 
where there ts a great deal of alternate freezing and 
thawing tt ts very advisable to mulch all plantings 
in the ‘all to prevent heaving. 
This hybrid race was produced by Van Tuber- 
gen from hybridization work begun in 1892 with 
Iris.xiphium praecox and other species, and ts rapid- 
ly .ecoming the foremost race of Iris in the country. 
Striking evidence of its popularity as a cut-flower ts 
the beautiful WEDGEWOOD IRIS so commonly 
used in florist bouquets. In outdoor gardens they 
flower two weeks in advance of the Spanish Iris, 
have much broader, larger petals and are more mag- 
nificent in every way. 
Years of experimentation have shown they will 
survive in colder climates if properly mulched and 
they are rapidly becoming as popular in northern 
and eastern gardens as they are in California and 
other warm sections. 
Set 5 to 6 inches deep in a warm sunny, well 
drained location, provide ample water during the 
Spring growing season, and bake thoroughly all 
summer by withholding all moisture. They are quite 
tolerant of various soils, but prefer rich soils with 
fair amount of sand and humus. Height 2 to 3 feet. 
Flowering season, early June. 
All bulbs are top size 8 cm. and over, unless otherwise noted.
