BEARDED IRIS 
To produce masses of color in the garden, for cutting or 
pursued as a hobby Iris, with a minimum of effort or expense, 
will give you not only a maximum of extravagant bloom for 
cutting but many hours of happy garden relaxation. To 
prolong your Iris season include in your selections early as 
well as mid-season and late bloomers. 
lris are easily grown in most any soil and produce their 
wealth of bloom over a long period, March 15 to May 15. 
For best results choose a location with at least a half day 
sun. Spade the soil to a depth of 10 or 12 inches. Spread 
bone meal over the surface using 3 quarts to 100 square 
feet. Work bone meal in to a depth of about 5 inches. If 
planting for mass effect space | foot apart, if to be left for 
2 or 3 years space 2 to 3 feet apart. Plant rhizome 1/2 inch 
below soil level. Firm soil down, water thoroughly and keep 
soil moderately moist until well established. Water at 2 
week intervals thereafter should be sufficient. Light appli- 
cation of Gro-Master or other commercial fertilizer may be 
applied in fall and again in spring. 
Iris should be divided every third year, discarding 
rhizomes that have bloomed, and replanting the balance.
