ISCOVER an exciting Fairyland of Color 
with the use of Modern Iris. Open new 
horizons with colors that sing. Spot your gar- 
den with designs with a flair... a lift to any 
garden. For maximum garden beauty with a 
minimum of garden labor the Iris are truly 
the work-wise beauty buys. 
Iris take care of themselves if given ordi- 
nary consideration. They are a sun loving 
plant so select a spot where they can enjoy 
at least one-half day’s sun or more. The rhi- 
zome (bulb part) should be planted just be- 
low the surface of the soil, about one-half inch 
deep. The soil should be well drained, never 
allow any water to stand on your Iris beds. 
General care consists of the removal of in- 
cidental weeds and a most shallow cultivation. 
That is all that is necessary. You can, in fact, 
20 away on a summer vacation, return, and 
catch up on your garden work without any 
ill effects on your Iris! After flowering, the 
old bloom stems are removed and the old fo- 
liage is removed at the time of general garden 
cleanup, spring or fall. ; 
A clump of Iris will increase, giving you 
more bountiful bloom each year. They yield 
bountifully to general garden care without 
the fuss of digging, storing or constant re- 
planting. The ideal time to plant is from July 
through September. With its wide adapta- 
bility, growing and thriving in every state ex- 
Front cept Florida, thriving in every soil save the 
Cover poorly drained locations, Iris are easy to 
LAVANESQUE grow. Kase of culture and adaptability recom- 
1953 mend Iris as a choice garden plant. A com- 
Described plete set of cultural instructions is enclosed
