Siberian Iris 
Russia and Central Europe are the home of Iris "Siberica" while ‘‘Orientalis’ comes from Manchuria and Japan. 
These two species have been crossed and the qualities and characteristics of both parents have been blended together 
and intermingled to produce a race that is now commonly called "Siberian Iris." 
They are all quite hardy, and many eminent authorities consider them the most elegant of all Irises. They are of the 
easiest culture and are prodigious bloomers, an established clump often producing fifty or more flowering stalks. 
They grow on long thin tubular stems, have ornamental grass-like foliage and are excellent cut flowers, lasting a long 
time when cut. They bloom about the same time as the "Bearded" Iris. They are especially find for landscape work, 
or for bordering a brook or pond, where they should be kept above the water line. They prefer a moist, well-drained, 
sunny situation and soil that is rich in humus, but will take care of themselves almost anywhere. In fact, I have had them 
do exceedingly well in almost full shade, where the soil was quite dry. The best fertilizer is well-rotted stable manure. 
It is well to avoid lime, also bone meal on account of its lime content. 
Siberian Iris can be transplanted in the Spring, just as growth is starting,- or if not transplanted at thattime it should 
be deferred until September or October. Full planting instructions accompany all shipments.
