IRIS 
Irises are used for garden 
clumps ; for borders in solid 
rows or evenly spaced groups ; 
in the foreground of shrub¬ 
bery groups, and to some 
extent in narrow spaces 
against the foundation — as 
much for foliage as bloom.

Last of the wonderful Iris procession in point of season ; but 
for size of plant and flowers, shapeliness, richness of coloring, 
beauty of pattern, and splendor of general effect, is unques¬ 
tionably accorded first. Their flowers are generally rather flat 
and wide, often measuring 10 to 12 inches across, appearing in 
great profusion during June and July after the Germans are 
through. Give good, rich light soil, plenty of water, and fre¬ 
quent cultivation. It is best to plant this type in separate 
groups, rather than in rows or solid beds,
