The range of Iris season, type, and color, together with their extreme hardiness, justi¬ 
fies liberal use in the garden. They multiply themselves and can be safely transplanted 
while in bloom, so that the garden picture can be changed accurately and economically 
from time to time.

JAPANESE IRISES wjuiy 
Japanese Irises thrive anywhere except 
when planted late in fall or where water will 
cover their crowns. They increase into large, 
permanent clumps of profuse, colorful garden 
and cut-flower bloom after peonies fade and 
before phlox begin. 
Spring is the best planting season for 
Japanese Irises. Late fall plantings are 
likely to “heave” and winter-kill. See quan¬
