HOW TO GROW IRISES 
Most Irises are easy to grow. They will thrive in almost any 
kind of soil, even in a position where most other things will not do 
well, provided it is well drained and gets the sun. Contrary to the 
somewhat prevalent idea that Irises are. by nature, water-loving 
plants, most of them cannot be grown successfully in poorly drained 
soil, or where water stands about their roots any part of the year. 
Because they are so adaptable, they are often looked upon as some¬ 
thing to fill in a difficult spot in the garden and, consequently, do 
not receive the cultivation they deserve. No plant more adequately 
repays for good and proper cultivation. 
Irises add charm to the most carefully planned garden
