Iris 
For delicacy and exquisite combinations of color there are few flowers that 
excel the Iris and of late years the introduction of many new varieties has made them 
very popular. In the culture of Iris, select a well-drained, sunny location and after 
the beds are prepared plant the rhizome just below the surface, spreading out the 
roots and packing the dirt well around them. Probably the best time to plant is in 
September but they may be planted any time during the year except when in bloom 
or when the ground is froaen. They are hardy and easily cultivated. For best results 
avoid strong fertilizers and wet, soggy soils. The clumps should be dug up every 3 to 
5 years and reset to avoid any root trouble. Our list includes some of the most pop¬ 
ular and highly treasured of the named varieties. Abbreviations: “S,” standards; 
“F," falls.
