Ruskin's Catalogues

  • Ruskin's Rudimentary series, 3rd ed. (1872)

    R|229} Irids. Mrs. Loudon’s Bulbous Plants.
  • Ruskin's Rudimentary series 4th ed. (1872)

    R|229} Irids. Mrs. Loudon’s Bulbous Plants.
    R. 229. Group of Irids. (Mrs. Loudon.)

    I give you this especially for the pale Iris Persica, No.5, which was first brought into England by Charles the First’s Henrietta , and it has many characters belonging especially to the heraldic Fleur-de-lys. But the Iris Florentina, which I have drawn as well as I can, in Edu. 8, is the true Fleur-de-lys.
