Irises (Bulbous Rooted) 
It would be difficult to name any other hardy bulbs that repay the trouble of cultivation better 
than the Iris. Their blossoms compete in richness and variety of colors with the choicest and most 
beautiful Orchids. They are most easy to cultivate and succeed splendidly 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.
