Various IRIS Germanica: Fleur-de-lis. Six small plants to May 20 

 start a clump. Enrich bed with layers of manure, 

 avoiding contact of roots with manure. When it must 

 be moved, July or August is the best time, in order 

 to insure good bloom the next year. However, 

 crowded beds may prevent transplanting until after 

 frost. Prop, by division. 



Various IRIS, JAPANESE: Iris Kcempferi. Use six small plants July 1 

 to start a clump. Water freely. Enrich well, but 

 keep manure from contact with roots of all Irises.

 plants from seeds is not advisable, as it takes so long.
