High, dry lands do not suit its moisture loving roots, but good garden soil, en- riched with thoroughly decayed manure, deeply dug in and well watered during June and July—the blossom months in northeastern United States—will produce flow- ers of wonderful size. Do not select a shady place for your irises. They thrive under full exposure to the sun, but moisture they must have to blobm their best, and sometimes their roots will penetrate two feet deep to get it.
