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 con¬ 
stituent 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 trans¬ 
planting, and a dressing of powdered chalk in the 
autumn and winter.
