Iris germanica (Tall Bearded Iris) 
The Iris increases so rapidly that it is good judgment to plant only the better kinds. A good soil 
that is well drained and a sunny location are the requisites. Plant the rhizomes so that the roots are just 
covered and avoid manures or strong chemical fertilizers. April, August, and September are the best plant¬ 
ing months.
