DREER'S GERMAN IRIS 



a riot of color 

 in May and June 



We have yet to plant German Iris in a place where they 

 would not grow — sun or shade, banks or terraces, moist or dry. 

 They grow and multiply and yield a prodigious amount of 

 bloom through May and June. Two firm rules to follow in 

 planting are: no fresh manure; "knuckles up," that is, the 

 tops of the rhizomes (roots) should show just above the sur- 

 face of the ground when planted. For fertilizer use dried sheep 

 or cow manure or bonemeal. We have arranged our hst by 

 color classification, for your convenience. September or 

 October is the best time to plant.
