THE SALBACH IRIS MANUAL 
Deals chiefly with the bearded iris, but gives the essen- 
tial information about the important other types, too. 
Fuil cultural directions, a comprehensive chapter on 
breeding, a discussion of the types and differences be- 
tween the major breeds of iris, and some of the impor-

the book is entirely non-technical, planned for the aver- 
age gardener, and the new iris enthusiast.
