Cultural Hints 
Iris are without doubt the most satisfactory of all gar- 
den flowers. Hardy and so easy to grow. July, August 
and the first part of September are the best time to plant 
Iris in this section of the country for best results. If 
planted later it is well to use a light mulch in cold 
climates. 
They should be planted in a sunny well drained loca- 
tion. Do not plant too deep. The top of the rhizome 
should be just covered with soil. If planted too deep they 
will not bloom satisfactorily. 
We use Bone Meal almost entirely as a fertilizer, occa- 
sionally we use well rotted barnyard manure or vigoro 
when we have a poor spot of ground. 
They should be divided every 8 or 4 years so they do 
not become too crowded. Planting 3 of a variety in a 
group gives you a nice clump of color in a hurry. 
The rhizomes of some varieties grow larger than others, 
so do not condemn the small rhizomes too hastily. It may 
be the normal size for that variety. Most oncobreds have 
small rhizomes.
