BEARDED IRIS 
Iris rhizomes should be planted during August and September. 
Select a sunny well drained location where the soil is light and easy 
to work. If you have plenty of room in your garden you may space 
your plants as far as two feet apart although a mass effect will be 
given if they are planted closer. Plant the rhizomes just under the 
surface of the ground in a hole large enough to allow the full spread 
of the roots. Steamed bone meal for superphosphate may be used 
at the time of planting by mixing in a handful and working well into 
the soil. 
Iris do not require a great amount of water but should be culti- 
vated soon after watering to prevent the ground from caking. As 
your new plant is close to the top of the ground you should cultivate 
very lightly. 
Do not be alarmed if some rhizomes in your shipment are larger 
than others as certain varieties tend to grow larger than others 
although the smaller plants are just as healthy. 
Approximate height follows the variety name. The blooming 
period is indicated by the letters E (early), M (mid-season) and 
L (late).
