We do not recommend Japanese Iris as a cut flower for the general run 
of work, hut there are times when the demand is so insistent for something 
different that a basket or vase of these orchids of the garden seems most 
appropriate. In good soil their blooms often reach a diameter of 8 or 10 
inches. Jap Iris do best in a moderately rich moist soil.

Planting Perennials 
When planting perennials it is wise to keep the roots well covered 
with wet burlap or 7noss until you can set them into the soil. Peren¬ 
nials should be set 12 to 18 inches apart depending upon the ulti¬ 
mate size of the full grown plants. Plenty of water after planting 
helps to pack the soil arou/nd the roots. If you do not wish to plant 
them as soon as they arrive, your perennials should be unpacked, 
checked with your bill and heeled into moist soil or sand until needed.
