SUMMER AND FALL 1934 SEED AND BULB CATALOG 
IRIS CULTURE 
Any ordinary garden soil, and almost any position suits the Iris, but a rather 
dry and sunny position is the best; they object to fresh stable manure, which 
should be avoided when planting. If the best results are desired they should 
be planted in good, rich soil which must not be deficient in lime. The latter 
constituent is of the greatest importance in the cultivation of bearded Irises, 
and it must be added to the soil if not present in sufficient quantity. It is a good 
plan to give a dressing of superphosphate of lime when transplanting, and a 
dressing of powdered chalk in the Autumn and Winter.
