CULTURE—Like most azaleas and rho- 
dodendrons these iris will not tolerate 
lime in any form. For best results heav- 
ily enriched soil and abundant moisture 
are necessary. After blooming they re- 
quire no more moisture than other per- 
ennials. An ideal location is along the 
banks of a stream or pond. They are 
successfully grown in most parts of the 
country and do especially well in the At- 
lantic and Pacific states and the south- 
ern border of the Great Lakes. Plant 
so that the crowns are about 2 inches 
, below the ground surface. Do not ex- 
pect typical flowers until the second 
year as they take more time to become 
established than bearded iris. In dry 
climates we cannot stress too strongly 
the importance of constant moisture 
during their growing season. In fact 
if your water supply is unlimited select 
a location where you can flood the plants 
often and you will be rewarded with 
larger flowers . Any well rotted manure 
is the best fertilizer. If your soil is alk- 
aline, the adition of aluminum sulphate, 
peat moss or oak leaf mold will produce 
the correct soil condition. If the leaves 
turn yellow, lime very likely is present 
and LIME is FATAL to these iris. Best 
planted in full sun except in warm sec- 
tions of the country where afternoon 
shade wil prove beneficial. Keep away 
from foundations, sidewalks, walls or 
any place where lime can reach. Ship-
