GARDEN 
clumps cultivated 
in the soil of Long Island 
The increased demand for our Japanese Iris 
in recent years, proves beyond a doubt their 
excellent quality and adaptability to general 
garden use. Once established, they will flower profusely year after year. The 
immense flowers, often the size of a dinner plate, display their glory immediate¬ 
ly after the German Iris has finished blooming. Use them as a background in 
the perennial border, or, better still, around your lily pool. Don’t let them 
starve to death; an application of manure worked into the soil in early spring 
will repay you tenfold. 
It takes about two years for Japanese Iris to become firmly established and 
if they fail to flower the first season after transplanting, there’s no cause for 
alarm. They may be successfully transplanted in early spring as well as in the 
fall.
