pearance to the Dutch and Spanish. Sometimes 
referred to as the "butterfly Iris.’ They are easy 
to grow being very hardy. Tall growing, therefore 
are splendid for background planting. Blooming 
period begins near the end of the Bearded Iris 
season and they bloom a long time. They are of 
the finest for cut flowers in arrangements and ex- 
cellent for corsages. Splendid for landscaping.

garden soil on the acid side. For this rotted oak 
leaves are splendid. Should not be allowed to dry 
out until plants are well established. They are a 
moisture loving plant, but will grow most any- 
where with proper care, in either full sun or par- 
tial shade.

LOUISIANA IRIS 
This charming beardless variety comes into 
bloom near the end of the Bearded Iris season. 
It is becoming more popular each year as it be- 
comes better known. For cut flowers and adapt- 
ability in landscaping they are tops, if given the 
proper care. 
Their natural locality is a marsh. However, give 
them a rich soil with plenty of humus, on the acid 
side if possible, also an abundance of water dur- 
ing the growing and blooming season. They are 
partial to shade during the hottest part of the 
day, so pick a spot for planting where this can be 
accomplished. 
Their lovely foliage and gorgeous blossoms add 
lasting beauty to any garden. They grow easily.
