Liberty Irises, Gleur de Lis 
One who has never grown Irises would scarcely realize that 
such sturdy, easily grown plants would produce such fragile 
blooms with a wealth of rainbow colors found in no other 
flower. Their beauty of form and texture has given them the 
name, “‘orchid of the garden.’’ Mass them at the borders of the 
lawn or among shrubbery. Plant them along walks and drives, 
and in the herbaceous border. Naturalize them in wild and un- 
cultivated places. The modern varieties are vast improvements on 
the old flags of our grandmothers day, and it is no wonder they 
have increased so greatly in popularity. 
An Iris planting is readily established in any well drained 
soil of average fertility, and will increase in lovliness each spring. 
They succeed with shade part of the day, but are best in full 
sun. Prepare the soil well. Compost or leaf mold may be added 
if needed, but no manure. Plant 15 to 18 in. apart, the rhizome 
or fleshy part of the root horizontal and barely covered. Divide 
and replant as they become too thick. The inches or feet in 
the description is the height of the flower stem. The standards 
are the upright or standing petals, the falls the lower or droop- 
ing petals.
