These are native to the Mississippi Delta, 
where they are flooded in the spring and 
are bone dry in the summer and fall. In 
California they respond admirably to ordi- 
nary garden treatment. They are well 
suited for planting along streams and 
pools. As they are rank growers they 
should not be excessively fertilized in 
order to prevent their spreading too much.

Winter Blooming Iris 
These are highly adaptable and will grow 
in any kind of soil and exposure except 
in dense shade or too much moisture. They 
should be protected by a heavy mulch in 
cold sections. Planting should be done be- 
fore the first of February and kept moist 
until well established. To prevent flowers 
hiding among the foliage plant them where 
they can be thoroughly dried out during 
the summer. This will cause the foliage to 
wilt and lie flat on the ground, allowing 
the flowers to make a mass of color in the 
center of the plant, or cut the foliage 8 
inches above the ground in September. 
Delivery June to January.
