CULTURAL HINTS FOR THE SOUTH 
The ideal planting time in this section is September, for 
bearded iris. For Siberian and other beardless types, it is better 
to wait for the cooler weather of October. 
Siberian iris will bloom in an ordinary border, but does better 
in a moist position with acid soil. 
The Japanese varieties, also, like a rich, moist soil. 
In planting bearded iris, the rhizomes should be given a slight 
covering of earth to protect them from the hot summer sun. I 
have even found that a light shade may be beneficial, as long as 
it is not enough to encourage rhizome rot. 
In a very dry season, fall-blooming iris should be watered from 
August on, if a second bloom is expected. 
CONDITIONS OF SALE 
Plants offered by the Pitysmont Nurseries are guaranteed to be 
true to name. Any plant proving to be incorrectly labeled will be 
gladly replaced. 
Owing to the section of the country and the type of soil in 
which the nursery is located, our plants are not affected by either 
rhizome rot or borer, the two worst enemies of the iris. 
Write for other varieties in which you are interested. If we do 
not have them we can get them for you. 
Postage is prepaid on all orders amounting to $1.00 or over.
