7. Fertilizing 
Any good garden soil has sufficient food to grow good Iris. Do not use strong 
fertilizer, some people say their ground is very poor. My suggestion is to use only 
half the amount regularly used and that, keep 6 inches away from your plants. Bone 
meal, Vigaro and the like are my suggestions. 
We grow our Iris in a section recognized as the most fertile section of New 
Jersey. All we use is lime and acid phosphate through the fall or winter and obtain 
excellent results. Again, | warn, too much commercial fertilizer will cause vote end of 
Mustard Rot. 
8. Various Sizes in Iris Rhizomes 
You will note that Iris will vary in size. This is due to the habits of each variety. 
You will also notice that our Iris are extremely firm which is a recognized fact of strong 
healthy plants and flowers because these are grown slowly in colder climate. 
9. Leaf Spot 
A fungus disease which sometimes develops on Iris leaves and causes the ends 
to turn brown. These spores multiply and spread rapidly during damp weather. To 
check this fungus, spray with a lime-sulphur spray to which add a little soap as a 
spreader. 
10. Root Rot 
Root rot is one of the headaches when too much nitrogen food has been used: 
Also will prevail in very humid damp weather or in poor drainage or sour soil.

When this trouble arises, cut off all soft portions and expose to air, dust with 
either copper carbonate or sulphur. 
Upon arrival of Stock check very sapenly if not satisfactory return immediately. 
We cannot guarantee the growth of your stock, weather and your garden condi- 
tions are beyond our control. 
11. tris Borer

or from plants that have not been kept clean.
