IRISES. {Fleur-de-Lis.) 



Irises require rich soil and abundance of water. The finest blooms are obtained from established clumps; con- 

 sequently when planted they should remain undisturbed. Set the roots in clumps of three or more, four inches 

 deep, and protect with leaves or other mulch during winter. 



In planting groups of Irises it is possible to maintain a succession of bloom from May until late in the summer, 

 by employing the four leading species, Spanish, English, German, and Japanese, which flower in the order they are 

 named. We advise early autumn planting.
