Paul J. Howard's HARDY IRIS 
Hardy Iris are among the easiest flowering plants to grow. Select a well-drained, sunny situa- 
tion, with good garden soil. If soil is poor, fertilize with good commercial fertilizer or with bone 
meal, in fall and once or twice in spring. Set plants 12 to 18 inches apart and just cover the 
rhizomes. Water well after planting and keep moderately moist after that. Iris may be planted 
any time from June to winter. Prices include postage through the 4th postal zone. 
Please add sales tax to all California orders.
