FOREWORD 
Plant irises in sunny, well drained locations. The rhi- 
zome, the botanical term for the creeping rootstock from 
which the true roots grow, should be placed just below the 
) surface of the soil, making a hole suffieiently large to 
| spread out the roots. Pack the soil around them, water and 
do not let them dry out until new growth has started. Point 
the growing points in the same direction when planting three 
or more rhizomes of the same variety. If, as so often done, 
they are pointed in opposite direction the result will be a 
clump with an open center which will not produce a solid 
mass of bloom. July and August are the best planting 
| months, but they ean be planted at any time the soil can be 
worked.
