PLANTING DIRECTIONS FOR IRIS 
There is nothing difficult in setting out 
Iris. The rhizome should be half out of 
the soil, but in planting some dirt can be 
drawn towards the rhizome so as to hold 
surface mosture. This high soil can be 
removed by the next spring, when much 
of it will naturally level off by the action 
of the rains and in hoeing. 
When Iris are set out, say after Septem- 
ber i5th, it is best to draw 2-3 inches of soil 
over the rhizome, just before freezing. 
This will keep most of the plants from 
heaving out during the winter; the first 
thing in the spring, go over the Iris 
and see that all rhizomes are pushed baci 
intu the soil and also draw some of the 
excess soil off the rhizomes. 
All Iris plants should be well drained 
Other than the above little else is of 
special importance.

MICHIGAN GROWN IRIS 
Michigan grown Iris cannot be excelled. 
The soil and climate are ideal for all 
root growing plants. 
Some sections in the West, produces a 
large showy white rhizomes, which comes 
from irrigation; these rhizomes are soft 
and we have found that at least a years 
start is iost in planting them. 
Michigan rhizomes are not so large but 
they are solid and hard. Michigan winters 
tend, also, to produce a tough rhizome. 
Where carriage charges are not paid. by 
the shipper, the extra weight amounts to 
considerable, too. 
SHIPPING TIME 
All the bearded Iris can be shipped be- 
ginning about July 20th. The Siberian 
and some of the species are shipped later.
