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 colours with the choicest and most beautiful 
Orchids. They are most easy to cultivate and succeed splendidly in almost any soil. As cut-flowers they 
are particularly useful as the blooms last well if cut as the buds are opening.
