They thrive in any soil, asking only a spot in the sun (but they’ll do well in light shade, too). They are absolutely hardy, they are not 
pestered by insects, disease among them is unknown—sure to bloom, ALWAYS a success. 
Flowers are large size, much resembling true lilies; borne on slender, reed-like stems rising from clumps of gracefully arching, grassy 
foliage. Kach stem carries numerous buds, each variety blooms over a period of three to five weeks. 
It is advisable to give them rich soil and water in dry weather to produce the best flowers. The fleshy roots should be planted about 
18 inches apart and two inches deep, spreading them out and firming the soil well over them. For finest bloom leave clumps undisturbed 
for three seasons; they need not be disturbed until the clumps begin to fail in flowering when they can lifted, divided and reset.

NEW or NOTEWORTHY GERMAN IRIS 
There are literally thousands of different varieties of tall bearded (com¬ 
monly called German) iris and scores of new ones introduced every year. Only 
a few of these thousands are truly distinctive with all-around merit combining 
vigorous, healthy habit of growth, freedom of bloom, size and worthwhile 
color. 
It's part of our business to cull out needless duplication of colors and 
types, weak-growing kinds and those that have been superseded by new im¬ 
proved varieties. That's why our list is short. Every variety in it is good.
