Fall planting gives best results. Plant so that the rhizome 
or bulb is level with the surface of the ground and firm the 
soil well.

JAPANESE IRIS 
The blooms of the Japanese Iris are 6 to 10 inches in 
diameter. They will grow in almost any soil that does not 
become too dry in Summer, but they prefer a warm, sunny 
location. 
The best time to plant is July, and from then on until the 
middle of September the plants may be safely planted in 
localities not too far north, so that they may have time to 
establish themselves before cold weather sets in. If they arc 
planted rather late, they should be freely mulched after the 
ground is frozen in late Autumn to keep the ground from 
heaving.

For more than 25 years Peonies have been a specialty 
at Rosedale. Our long experience in selecting line 
varieties and growing, make it possible for us to 
oiler you the cream of the crop. FOR THE FIRST 
TIME AN EXTRA SIZE PLANT IS OFFERED 
AT THE MARKET PRICE FOR A DIVISION. 
(See EXTRA SIZE PLANTS). These plants are 
fully 20 per cent larger and will produce more 
blooms the first year. 
CULTURE—Peonies are extremely easy to grow, 
and stand shipping and handling better than most 
perennials. They like rich, deep loam with an 
abundant supply of moisture. Do not use fresh 
manure near the roots. Plant in September or 
October; cover eyes not over 2 inches.

Following the Irises and PeonieS in time of bloom, but in 
no way behind them in popularity, are the Hardy Perennial 
Phloxes. We have weeded out all the magentas and purples, 
and believe that our list is as select as that offered by any firm. 
Phloxes are shallow-rooted plants and should, therefore, 
be planted a little deeper than most plants and kept well 
tilled to conserve the moisture, as they cannot stand dry, 
packed soil like Peonies and Irises. No fertilizer should be 
near the roots. A little bonemeal sprinkled on the surface 
of the ground before hoeing gives good results, but be careful 
not to use too much.
