IRIS germanica BEARDED IRIS 
Irises are considered by many flower lovers to be the finest of 
our hardy plants. The shape of the blossom, coupled with the 
magnificent colorings of recent introduction presents a picture that 
is loveliness itself. While Iris are so beautiful in themselves that 
they cannot, fairly, be considered a ‘’substitute,’’ we recommend 
their planting, especially at this time when Tulips and other 
spring flowering bulbs are almost impossible to obtain. 
CULTURE. The culture of all classes of bearded irises is of the 
simplest. There are only two requirements—sun and good drainage. 
The roots (or rhizomes) should be planted horizontally with a light 
covering of soil; not more than an inch and even less in light soil. 
Planting may be done in the spring or fall, but the very best time is 
just after the blooming season has passed. The rhizomes branch and 
in time crowd each other, therefore they should be dug, divided and 
replanted every third to fifth year. 
"S” refers to the three standard or upright curling petals. 
“F” refers to the three falls or drooping petals. 
+ indicates fragrant flower. 
Season: E, Early; M, Midseason; L, Late.
