HARDY BULBS FOR FALL PLANTING 
PURISSIM A 
IRIS CULTURE 
Any ordinary garden soil, and almost any position suits the Iris, 
but a rather dry and sunny position is the best; they object to fresh 
stable manure, which should be avoided when planting. If the best 
results are desired they should be planted in good, rich soil which 
must not be deficient in lime. The latter constituent is of the 
greatest importance in the cultivation of bearded Irises, and it must 
be added to the soil if not present in sufficient quantity. It is a 
good plan to give a dressing of superphosphate of lime when trans¬ 
planting, and a dressing of powdered chalk in the autumn and 
winter. 
Attention if Living East of the Rockies 
Owing to the higher postage rate, I4c per lb., and a large rhiz¬ 
ome, packed, will weigh close to a pound and sometimes even more, 
we will have to ask you to remit 10c extra on each Iris you order; 
if postage amounts to less we will credit you.
