BEARDED (EUPOGON) IRIS 
The “true pogoniris’” or common bearded iris com- 
prising the majority of existing garden varieties. Well 
adapted to garden culture in temperate regions, having 
originated from species native in Europe and Asia Minor. 
In our description; S—stands for the Standards or 
upper petals; F—for the Falls or lower petals. 
DB-E—Early Dwarf Bearded; DB-M—Mid-season 
Dwarf Bearded; IB-L—Late Intermediate Bearded; TB- 
E—FEarly Tall Bearded; TR-M—Mid-season Tall Beard- 
ed; TB-L—Late Tall Bearded. RE—-Remontant or Fall 
Blooming varieties. 
*Before planting a new bed of Iris, dig in plant 
food and cultivate well at least two weeks before roots 
are set, This allows soil to settle. When ready to plant, 
dig two slanting holes leaving a dividing ridge in the 
center. This eliminates air pockets under the rhizome. 
Place rhizome directly over center of ridge and 
spread feeding roots evenly to each side. Since ground 
underneath has not been disturbed, no settling will occur. 
By spreading roots to either side, the plant is 
securely anchored. Pull dirt in toward plant from either 
side. By pressing on top of root, proper planting depth 
may be regulated. Firm with foot and water_ well. 
*(Excerpt from the Book, The Iris, An Ideal Hardy 
Perennial—written and published by Members of the 
American Iris Society). 
Bearded Iris may be transplanted from early spring, 
until late fall, however, if planted in early spring they 
seldom produce bloom the same year, so for best 
results, plant Iris while in bloom, or from the 20th of 
June until after the 1st of September, thus allowing the 
plants to become established before frost. Come and 
see our Iris when they are in flower, and let us book 
your order, for then, or later delivery. Visitors are wel- 
comed at all times.
