BEARDED IRIS 
Iris are easily grown in most any soil and produce their 
wealth of bloom over a long period, March 15 to May 15. 
For best results choose a location with at least a half day 
sun. Spade the soil to a depth of 10 or 12 inches. Spread 
bone meal over the surface using 3 quarts to 100 square 
feet. Work bone meal in to a depth of about 5 inches. If 
planting for mass effect space |: foot apart, if to be left 
| for 2 or 3 years space 2 to 3 feet apart. Plant rhizome Y2 
) inch below soil level. Firm soil down, water thoroughly 
and keep soil moderately moist until well established. 
Water at 2 week intervals thereafter should be sufficient. 
Light application of Gro-Master or other commercial fer- 
tilizer may be applied in fall and again in spring. 
Iris should be divided every third year, discarding 
rhizomes that have bloomed, and replanting the balance.
