§cheeper$’ Supreme Collection 
of JAPANESE IRISES 
CULTURE: 
Japanese Irises require a deep rich soil with all the sunshine and 
water it is possible to give them. They do not like the encroach¬ 
ments of neighboring plants. In light soils they can be grown 
to perfection if the ground is kept cultivated and mulched.
