PUDOR’S DESCRIPTIVE SEED LIST 
THE FAMOUS PUDOR IRISES 
(Not Shipped after April 15th) 
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 transplanting, and a 
dressing of powdered chalk in the Autumn and Winter. 
Owing to the heavy growth our German iris makes here during the fall and 
winter we cannot afford to send this iris in the spring of the year. We can offer 
them for sale for July to September delivery only, with the following exceptions 
which we can offer for early spring delivery, up to April first, not later, with an 
additional charge of 8c for postage for each rhizome as far as the Middle West 
and 14c each to southern and eastern states. In the spring these rhizomes when 
packed weigh nearly one pound and the above mentioned postage covers this 
charge. The following are the varieties for SPRING DELIVERY:
