IEnalish Iris 
English Iris are considered by many to be the most beautiful of 
all bulb iris. They are hardy in most parts of the country and are 
easily grown. Blooming after all the other bulb iris and ahead 
of the Japanese varieties they fill an important place in the 
garden scheme. Their vigorous habits and lovely coloring in 
shades of blue, lavender, orchid pink, wine purple and white have 
gained great popularity for them everywhere. Besides their garden 
value the long stemmed orchid-like blooms are highly prized as 
cut flowers. 
CULTURE: The Junos, Dutch and English are best planted 3 to 
4 inches deep. The reticulata group and tuberosa about 2 to 3 
inches deep. With the exception of the English all thrive under 
the same conditions as the Regelio-cyclus group. The English 
enjoy abundant moisture until ie flowering period and jevtral 
or slightly acid soil. All may be lifted after blooming if desired 
and stored in a cool dry place until fall. 
SHIPMENT: From September 1 to December 15. 
MIXED COLORS 6 for .85; 12 for 1.50
