Iris Cristata 
IRIS SPURIA 
Finest Iris for cut flowers. These are so different from all other Beard- 
less Species and Hybrids as to deserve a separate sub-division. The flowers 
are quite unlike all other Irises, and are very artistic, making exquisite cut 
flowers for which purpose they are used extensively by florists. They are 
hardy anywhere. While not indispensable to their success, they prefer a 
moist spot and make a most imposing effect in the garden.

throughout the year.
