Bulbous Iris 
The best time to plant the bulbous iris 
such as the Dutch and the Spanish iris 
is in the early fall. They usually make 
a fall growth before the winter freeze 
and are prepared to start growing again 
early in the spring because they have 
an established root system. If planted 
late they will try to flower without hav- 
ing developed this root system and will 
produce inferior flowers. 
They prefer light soil and plenty of 
water while growing. After flowering the 
water should be reduced to a minimum. 
As soon as the tops turn yellow and die 
down they may be lifted and stored away 
for next year, or may be left in the 
ground if they can be kept on the dry 
side. Plant about four inches deep. 
Of the following list of iris Wedgewood 
and Reticulata are the first to flower, fol- 
lowed by the Dutch and then the Spanish 
forms. With the exception of the Reticu- 
lata they are all very useful for color in 
the garden and are excellent for cutting.

Spurias are among the easiest to grow

fairly well under dry conditions. Deliv-
