BEARDED IRIS CULTURE 
Plant iris rhizomes as soon as they are received if possible. If they 
must be held for a few days before planting be sure that they are un- 
packed and exposed to the air but keep them in a cool dry place. The 
iris bed should. be prepared beforehand and allowed to settle. Spade or 
work to a depth of 10 or 12 inches. Work in a generous supply of bone- 
meal or well rotted manure. If your soil is heavy or poorly drained raise 
your iris bed a little above the surrounding soil. Good drainage is nec- 
essary and full sunshine desirable. Iris will grow in the shade but will 
not bloom satisfactorily if at all. Set the new plants with the rhizomes 
barely covered with soil and the roots as deep as possible with the soil 
well firmed around them. Keep the soil moist until the plants are estab- 
lished but do not over-water. If soil is dry at planting time a good 
soaking is advisable. Fertilize with bone meal, well-rotted manure or a 
complete fertilizer once or twice a year but do not let the fertilizer come 
in contact with the rhizomes or it may cause soft rot. Plants should be 
divided and reset every 3 or 4 years.
