1 THE IRISES 
Growing them from seed is the lowest cost way of getting 
the delightful species of botanical Irises in quantity. Sow 
outside in either late autumn, or early enough in spring so 
there will be a period of exposure to low soil temperatures. 
Actual plants of Irises may be moved in spring, summer or 
autumn with about equal certainty of success. “kt’’ culture.
