IRISES. 



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. In planting groups of Irises it 

 is possible to maintain a succession of bloom 

 from May until late in the summer, by employ- 

 ing the four leading species. Spanish, English, 

 German, and Japanese, which flower in the 

 order they are named. We advise early autumn 

 planting.
