special collections nor to anything else in this catalog. 
REMEMBER—We prepay all Iris orders over $3.00 to any part of the U.S.A. 
CULTURE—While it is true that Iris will grow under almost any condition, they respond gratefully to proper care. They 
prefer a sunny situation of their own which is not crowded with roots from trees or shrubs. Avoid over-fertilization. Bone meal 
worked into the soil about the plants annually is all that is needed to produce the best results. Plants should be lifted and 
divided every three or four years.
