THE BEST IRISES FOR THE SOUTH 
Not all varieties of beardel Iris are adapted to those sections of the 
South subject to late spring freezes, (following an open, mild Winter. The 
more tender varieties will not endure a freezing temperature after they 
have started growth and are full of sap. If not entirely destroyed, the 
buds are killed so they will not bloom, they are very likely to become 
infected with diseease and ultimately die out. I have lost hundreds from 
if his cause and have eliminated all such from my list as being too unsatis¬ 
factory to recommend to my customers. Those listed below have been 
thoroughly tried out and may be counted on as being the most constant 
bloomers, growing and blooming year after year, in spite of unusual 
weather conditions. 
Set Irises in a well-draihed, sunny situation. Sweeten the soil with 
lime, wood ashes and bonemeal. Use old plaster freely if you can get it. 
Partial shade is desirable for the lighter colors to prevent their fading 
from too much sunlight. 
Avoid animal fertilizers or rotted vegetable matter. Use commercial 
fertilizers sparingly, acid phosphate only. Too rank a growth will in¬ 
duce diseased conditions and flowers will be sacrificed 'to foliage. Cul¬ 
tivate shallow, keep out grass and weeds. Ask for further information 
if wanted. 
Sunny Brae Iris Gardens are situated four miles east of Jasper, at the 
foot of Sharp Top Mountain, in the sub-division known as Grand View. 
Turn right at the Archer Hotel, proceed on the Tate Mountain Estate 
load and follow the signs. Visitors are always welcome. May is the best 
time to see Ihe plants in full bloom.
