TALL BEARDED IRIS 
(German Iris) 
The popularity of the Iris appears to be increasing. They 
are very easy to grow, adapting themselves to almost any soil 
or situation but preferring well drained soil and a sunny ex¬ 
posure. They are very hardy and once planted will last for 
years, needing only to be divided and reset every few years 
as they multiply and become crowded. Nearly all are fra¬ 
grant. Plant not over one inch deep. A little lime is good. 
The Iris has been wonderfully improved so that we now have 
nearly all the colors of the rainbow. The best time to plant is 
July to September. Deliveries begin about the middle of July.
