SIBERIAN IRISES 
Siberian irises are not nearly so well known as they deserve to 
be. This is largely due to the fact that the newer varieties are not 
well known. Until you have grown a few of the newer Siberian 
irises, you will have no idea how greatly they have been improved 
in size and color in recent years. They are graceful and lovely, and 
make excellent cut flowers, lending themselves well to flower ar- 
rangement. They will grow well in semi-shaded and boggy situa- 
tions, although they are just as well suited to regular garden con- 
ditions. They prefer a slightly acid soil.
