LIBERTY IRIS (Continued 



One point worthy of emphasis, in connection with 

 Iris, is that they are not particular as to soil — they 

 thrive in even the poorest; in fact, they are one of 

 the relatively few perennials that do well in the 

 sandy soils near the seashore. Since the rhizomes 

 multiply rapidly, the original roots should be planted 

 at least 2 feet apart.
