LOUISIANA NATIVE IRISES 
These beautfiul plants may be grown in practically every section of the United 
States in upland gardens, provided they are well fertilized, heavily mulched and 
watered frequently during periods of prolonged drought. The rhizomes may be moved 
successfully at any time during the late summer and fall, but the best period is dur- 
ing the months of August and September. Orders are accepted throughout the year 
for shipment during late summer and early fall.
