IRIS - FLAGS 
Irises are rapidly gaining popular favor with garden-lovers everywhere. The 
flowers are greatly admired for their delicacy of texture, beauty of form, and exquisite 
colorings. Some of the species are delightfully fragrant. Highly recommended for 
planting in rock-gardens and borders. Make lovely cut-flowers, but should be cut 
before the blooms are fully developed.

How to Grow Iris 
Irises may be grown very successfully 
in Southern gardens if proper growing 
conditions are provided for them, and, in 
selecting the particular types that are 
best suited for your garden, consideration 
should be given to lccation and soil. In 
the planting Instructions given below we 
have emphasized the requirements of 
each type. 
German Irises require a well-drained, 
sunny location. Clay soils should be 
mixed to a depth of 1 foot with a liberal 
quantity of sharp sand. Do not plant too 
deep. The top of the rhizomes should be 
at ground-level. Use no fertilizer except 
Bone Meal, about a closed handful to 
each plant, and after planting, water 
thoroughly to settle soil. Cultivate the 
surface after each rain and water only 
when soil is dry. Remove old leaves as 
they wither sufficiently to pull them off. 
Proper distance between plants, 1 foot. 
Louisiana Irises do equally well in 
sunny or partially shaded locations tf 
properly watered. Clay soils should be 
loosened by spading 1m a liberal quantity 
of Peat Moss. Plant the roots about 
4 inches deep and 1 foot apart. Leave 
them undisturbed in the ground until 
they are crowded for space, when they 
should be lifted and separated. This is 
best done in late summer or fall. 
Japanese Irises may be grown very 
successfully in the South by observing a 
few simple rules. They prefer a sunny 
location, but are not adverse to semi- 
shade. In preparing your bed, spade into 
the soil a liberal supply of well-rotted 
cow manure and Peat Moss. Plant the 
roots 3 to 4 inches deep, and in order to 
provide sufficient moisture during warm 
weather, dike your beds so the water will 
not run off. Never allow the soil to dry 
out. Give a good soaking whenever 
needed.
