Irises of Rainbow Hues 



Perhaps you have always known Irises as "Blue Flags," but that name 

 does not do justice to the Irises of today. Instead of the deep blue color you 

 know so well, we now have a myriad of tints and shades. Purples, whites, 

 yellows, lavenders, are some of them. 



Irises should be planted any time from August 15 to frost, or early in the 

 spring. Fall planting is best, for it gives them a chance to become established 

 before winter, and also makes blooming possible the following spring.
