MISCELLANEOUS TYPES OF IRIS 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
FOR BEARDED IRIS 
Iris require less care than any 
other garden flower. They will 
thrive well in almost any kind 
of soil that is well drained. In 
heavy soil, we suggest adding 
asmall amount of lime or wood 
ashes. 
Iris are shipped dry, and as 
soon as received they should 
be planted with the top of 
the rhizome or thickened root 
just below the surface of the 
ground. Press the soil firmly 
around the roots. 
Ground should be watered 
every two weeks until plants 
are well established and grow- 
ing—do not overdo the water- 
ing, for fear of rot. Bearded iris 
are very drought-resistant and 
need very little summer water- 
ing. In gardens where drain- 
age is poor it is a good plan to 
plant in raised beds. They are 
also sun lovers and will pro- 
duce no flowers if planted in 
deep shade, but sun half the 
day will satisfy them. Their re- 
sistance to drought fits them 
for covering dry, sunny slopes. 
Keep them free from weeds 
and do not allow other plants 
to cover them. Plant about one 
foot apart and transplant when 
crowded, usually every third 
year. 
These directions are for 
Bearded Iris only. Other spe- 
cies, such as the Japanese, Si- 
berian, Spanish and Oncocy- 
lus Iris, require quite different 
treatment.

clumps. They have a fibrous root system and 
can be planted any time from June until 
fall. e

we received without a record of the name,

much deeper than Perry’s Blue. A good 
grower and a free bloomer. 36”.
