IRIS GERMANICA. (Pogoniris.) 
The varieties of this group, also 
those of the dwarf, bearded Pumilas, 
Crimean and Alpine Hybrids, all de¬ 
light in a warm, well drained situa¬ 
tion where the surface-creeping rhi¬ 
zomes can get a good baking in the 
summer. 
They will thrive in almost any 
soil or situation except a wet one, 
which will cause the rhizomes to 
rapidly decay. 
Plant any time in early spring 
or after the first of August until late 
fall. 
Barely cover the rhizomes and 
avoid fresh manure when planting.
