LOUISIANA NATIVE IRISES 
These beautiful plants may be grown in practically every section of the United 
States in upland gardens, provided they are well fertilized, heavily mulched and watered 
frequently during periods of prolonged drought. The rhizomes may be moved success- 
fully at any time during the late summer and fall, but the best period is during the ~ 
months of August and September. Orders are accepted throughout the year for ship- 
ment during the late summer and early fall. 
The 1955 season was very unfavorabe for Louisiana irises in the Baton Rouge 
area, consequently, the supply of named varieties is scarce and most of the rhizomes 
are small.
