Culture. They may be planted in either spring or fall, I personally 
like fall planting. Plant about 3 in. deep in rich garden loam. If soil is 
light and sandy, it should be improved by the liberal addition of well de¬ 
cayed cow manure, well mixed with humas and rich soil. In making new 
beds follow directions found under Beardless Irises. After ground has 
frozen, give a light mulch for winter protection.
