amertcan Specieia anti ^pbritna 
This group includes new and rare LOUISIANA and FLORIDA 
irises and especial attention is called to the named hybrids produced by 
Mr. T. A. WASHINGTON of Nashville, Tenn. These bloom just before 
the Japanese Irises and are a great addition to any garden. 
Culture. If making a new bed for these irises, I advise well rotted 
cow manure and compost be mixed in the lower portion of excavated place, 
the upper portion being filled with good rich soil of slightly acid nature. 
These irises require plenty of moisture during their growing season, but 
no standing water during winter. Plant the rhizomes at least one inch 
deep, water in well and do not allow them to dry out. Late summer plant¬ 
ing is best, for it enables the plants to start growth soon after their dormant 
season. 
In fall give a good four inch mulch of peat moss, topped by three 
inches or more of marsh hay or straw. This heavy covering is to keep the 
plants from starting growth too early in the spring. When danger of 
freezing is over, remove the covering and work a little of the peat moss 
into the ground, also see they have an abundance of water until after bloom¬ 
ing. These directions for covering, apply especially to our northern states. 
These Southern Species and Hybrids are perfectly hardy in my New Eng¬ 
land garden.
