Before planting a new bed of Iris, dig 

 in plant food and cultivate well. When 

 ready to plant, dig two slanting holes, 

 leaving a dividing ridge in the center. 



Place rhizome directly over center of 

 ridge and spread feeding roots evenly to 

 each side. By spreading roots to either 

 side, the plant is securely anchored. 



Pull dirt towards plant from either 

 side. By pressing on top of root, proper 

 planting depth may be regulated. Firm 

 with foot and water well.
