IRIS 
Iris should be planted in 
a sunny location and may 
be planted in groups or 
singly. The Iris should be 
planted in a well drained 
location as too much mois¬ 
ture, especially in hot 
weather, will cause the 
roots to decay. Iris may be 
planted at any time of the 
year except when they are 
in bloom or when the 
ground is frozen, although 
the best time for planting 
is in the early spring or 
months of-July and August. 
We are offering but a 
few of the most popular, 
for spring delivery, or ord¬ 
ers will be accepted for 
July or August delivery. William Mohr Iris

DAHLIAS 
The Dahlia is one of the most popular of garden 
flowers. Its flowers may be used for garden decorations, 
house decorations, bouquets, florists’ work and exhibition. 
LOCATION. An open, sunny location seems to favor 
them at all times. Dahlias do well on high and low 
land, on hillsides or perfectly level land, giving good 
results in each location. 
TIME OF PLANTING. Dahlias can be planted any time 
after danger of frost is over, and under ordinary condi¬ 
tions will blossom in from 6 to 8 weeks after they have 
been planted. It is always best to wait until the ground 
becomes thoroughly warmed. 
PLANTING. Plant bulb 6 inches deep, flat down, hav¬ 
ing sprout or eye facing upwards; cover with about two 
inches of soil. When sprouts are 6 inches high add 
more soil, making it level with surface. 
Illustrating planting direction with each order. 
CULTIVATION. Cultivation is the principal require¬ 
ment of the Dahlia—the most important of all opera¬ 
tions to insure success. Keep the soil well cultivated 
and free from weeds; never allow the soil to crust.
