PLANTING DIRECTIONS FOR IRIS 
There is nothing difficult in setting out 
Iris. The rhizome should be half out of 
the soil, but in planting some dirt can be 
drawn towards the rhizome so as to hold 
surface mosture. This high soil can be 
removed by the next spring, when much 
of it will naturally level off by the action 
of the rains and in hoeing. 
When Iris are set out, say after Septem- 
ber 15th, it is best to draw 2-3 inches of soil 
over the rhizome, just before freezing. 
This will keep most of the plants from 
heaving out during the winter; the first 
thing in the spring, go over the Iris 
and see that all rhizomes are pushed bacic 
intu the soil and also draw some of the 
excess soil off the rhizomes. 
All Iris plants should be well drained 
so that water never stands around them. 
Other than the above little else is of 
special importance.
