LOUISIANA IRIS 
THE KHAN — Louisiana Iris 
“Are there any others with such beauty of foliage, such gypsy 
grace of curving stem and whimsically turned bud? What other 
iris tips a flower to the side and looks one full in the face?”— 
Caroline Dormon. 
The color range of this enchanting group of iris is large, rang- 
ing from the purest white through pale pinks to rose, coral tones, 
soft yellows, rust and copper, blues of every shade, rich old reds, 
to the blackest purples and wine colors. 
The shape and size of the flowers vary with the variety, those 
of the famous Abbeville type are flat and resemble a Japanese 
iris, while others are crisp and starched looking. 
Louisiana iris are as easy to grow as bearded iris, although they 
prefer semi-shade, a soil enriched with plenty of humus and can 
take a lot of manure—in fact we have planted them using half 
soil and half manure, and the results have been wonderful. They 
are heavy feeders. Keep well-watered prior to, and during the 
blooming season. We make shipment in the fall.
