AUTUMN Catalogue, 1909. 



GERMAN IRISES. 



{Iris Germanica. True Fleiir-de-Lis.) 



IRISES require rich soil and abundance of water. The finest blooms are obtained from established clumps; consequently 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. We advise early autumn planting.
