the rich splendor of dark shades of 
blue. The foliage is attractive 
throughout the entire summer wav- 
ing like slender green wands in 
fairyland. Grown from coast to 
coast in the finer gardens and will

Cover the crown of lovely Japanese Iris with two 
inches of soil and plant in a sunny location with abun- 
dant moisture, especially in the spring and at the 
blooming period. Iris prefer an acid soil and will not 
tolerate lime. (You may acidify your soil with appli- 
cations of Aluminum Sulphate—see page 62). The 
clumps may be divided every 3 to 5 years to increase 
your plantings. Protect in fall and winter with a mulch 
of straw or leaves to protect them from being heaved 
from the ground by frost. Not to grow these fine Iris 
will be to deprive yourself of one of nature’s finest 
flowers.
