Native Louisiana Plants for Wild Gardens 
THE LOUISIANA IRISES (Iris Delta) 
The Louisiana Iris is a new beardless Iris. It has opened a prospect of an 
an entirely, new race for garden use, including unknown colors. The late 
Dr. John K. Small, as curator of the New York Botanical Gardens, was the 
first to describe the unusal size of the plants. Flower stalks 5 feet high 
have been found. Durin “Iris Time in Louisiana” the rich Iris fields are a 
mecca for flower lovers. They are one of the few flowers which is exclusive- 
ly our own. They will grow in full sun or partial shade and will thrive in 
any garden soil, provided they have plenty of leafmold or peat in the soil 
and are watered regularly, especially when buds begin to appear. The 
Louisiana Irises have large size flowers, some on low, others on tal] flower 
stalks. Some of the colors, blue, purple, blends of red, orange and yellow 
will give you a most pleasing effect. They offer rare material for hybridi- 
zers, they have been used also in hybridization with our common American 
Flag (Versicolor). For best effect they should be planted in clumps of 50 
- or more. In April or May the gorgeous Louisiana Iris make their finest dis- 
play. (Fully as hardy in Northern Gardens).
