ponds: or pools or in the water where they will thrive. 
Drainage ditches become a thing of beauty when 
planted with wild irisés. In the smaller gardens 
they make a splendid showing along the walks, fences 
or lily ponds. There is also a striking contrast when 
planted with the ordinary commercial irises. We 
find from experience that the Louisiana wild irises do 
well when planted under large shade trees furnishing 
delightful blooms during the first few months of 
Spring. 
Notice to Northern States 
In the North, these plants must be grown in ordi- 
nary dry, but very rich soil. Thus planted they will 
stand the winter up to Southern Canada. If the roots 
and root stocks are in wet ground during the winter, 
they will likely not prove hardy so far north.
