IRIS 
Californian and Other Pacific Coast Species

these lovely natives. With their long glossy leaves in cas- 
cading masses the plants are striking at all times and no Iris 
has more daintily lovely flowers, Excellent in rock gardens, 
margins of shaded borders, fern beds or in woodland plant- 
ings. 
Culture: Light to moderate shade or a cool sunny spot. 
Soil: Well drained sandy loam or gritty soil rich in leafmold; 
neutral to acid. Moderate moisture. Mulch annually with 
old pine sawdust or leafmold. Perfectly hardy but a little 
difficult to establish at first. Plant fall or spring; in the 
East spring. 
GROWING FROM SEED. They are quite easy from seed 
sown in fall or spring. Seedlings transvlant poorly so make 
a bed rich in leafmold in a half shaded spot in your garden 
where they may remain. Sow seeds and cover one-quarter 
inch with screen leafmold and keep moist. They germinate 
slowly. Or you may sow in pots bedded into the open ground 
and shift when a year old.
