(Spring or fall planting) 
With the delicacy of the orchid, the multi-color of the rainbow and a 
hardiness and dependability all its own the iris is rapidly taking its place 
among the flowers of distinction. It is practically insect and disease re¬ 
sistant, will grow anywhere and can be planted at any time of the year 
when the ground is not frozen. 
CULTURAL METHODS—Cultivate Iris occasionally but water very seldom 
after once started because they do not thrive with wet feet. They should 
be lifted, separated and reset about every two years to assure largest 
flowers. The only disease which seems to destroy iris here is root-rot. The 
roots become soft and watery and the foliage turns brown and dies down. 
We suggest the following remedy:—Lift the clumps and turn upside down 
on the ground with the roots exposed to the sun for a period of a week or 
so. Then trim off the affected roots and replant, throwing out all original 
dirt and filling in with new soil. 
The varieties herewith listed have been carefully selected as regards 
substance, color and general usefulness. Most of them rate. 880 or better ac¬ 
cording to the rating of the Ayiencan Iris Society. They are among the 
finest of the medium priced varieties and priced so low that everyone can 
afford a fine iris garden. This is your opportunity to get started with good 
named iris.
