Dietes — 
African Iris 
MORAEAS having rhizomatous 
roots are called DIETES. They are 
native to South Africa, belong to the 
Iris family and require the same cul- 
tural treatment as the Iris. They are 
hardy in localities where the Fig can 
be grown, but in the colder climates 
they will grow well in large pots in 
glasshouses, or brought indoors in 
very cold weather. They are not par- 
ticular as to the kind of soil they are 
grown in, and will do equally well 
in full sun or shade. They will toler- 
ate excessive moisture and prolonged 
drought. The flower stems are peren- 
nial and if not cut too low will last 
and produce flowers for years. The
