KENWOOD IRIS GARDENS 
Tall Bearded Iris 
Sun and good drainage are essential for their success. Place the rhizome 
on the surface when you plant, except in fall, when it is advisable to 
plant more deeply to prevent heaving. Mulch with excelsior or straw 
the first winter. The clumps should be re-set every few years, and the 
old rhizomes thrown away. Bonemeal is a safe fertilizer. The ease of 
growing these Irises, and the beauty of their bloom, should cause them 
to be widely planted. 
The initials after each variety denote its season of bloom, as: E— 
Early; EM—Early Midseason; LM—Late Midseason; L—Late. S. and 
F. are used as abbreviations for standards and falls. The figures after 
the initials indicate the height of the flower stalk in inches. 
Prices for the varieties in the standard groups of each color class 
are as follows: 
GROUP 1: 15c each; 3 of a kind for 40c, $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 per 100. 
GROUP 2: 10c each; 3 of a kind for 25c, 70c per doz.; $4.00 per 100.
