. Catalogue of Dutch bulbs / Grullemans & Nursery Catalogue. DUTCH IRIS. A NEW AND EARLY Tins new strain has been sported by the crossing of Xiphiums, such as filifolia, tingitana. Buritania, Boissieri and other early flowering varieties. It has entirely been cultivated in Holland and therefore the name of Dutch Iris is fully justified. The flowers are a good deal larger than those of the ordinary Spanish Iris and characterised by wide faces covered with very conspicuous orange blotches. The prevailing tone of colour is that of the gentle shades which we meet with Coquette des Blanches (Louise) and La Tendresse. Curiously there are but a few yellows amongst them, so that stock of those is at present still restricted. The great value of those Irises is their earliness. They are at least a fort night earlier than the Spanish Irises. They will fill up the awkward gap after the tulips, and for this reason will be welcome additions to the herbaceous feature.
