PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS: Iris rhizomes 
should be planted in a sunny, well drained loca- 
tion where they will have at least a half day 
of sunshine. The roots should be spread and 
planted deeply and the rhizome itself should 
be planted about one-half inch below the 
surface of the soil. The soil should be kept 
moist until the plant is well established. Iris 
grow well in any type of soil, However, the 
addition of humus to very heavy soil is desirable. 
Bone meal may be worked into the soil before 
planting or used as a side dressing once a year. 
Since iris multiply rapidly, planting should be 
spaced from 12 to I8 inches apart to allow 
for proper ventilation. Your rhizomes should be 
planted as soon as possible after you receive 
them. If impossible to plant at once, unpack 
and keep in a dry, cool place.

FYBRIDIZERS' CHARTS 
The importance of keeping good records has 
been stressed by all the successful hybridizers. 
In order to keep both accurate and permanent 
records on our own crosses we have compiled 
a hybridizer's chart, which we have found to be 
very satisfactory. This chart, which carries back 
for five generations, has spaces for the hybrid- 
izer's name, year of introduction, color of flower, 
color of beard, season of bloom, and notes on 
standards, falls, substance, stalk, etc. Additional 
notes may be kept on the reverse side of sheet. 
We are offering this chart in sets of 100 sheets— 
50 White (Alphabetical File) 
50 Blue (Numerical File)
