CULTURE OF JAPANESE IRISES "It is NOT TRUE that Japanese Irises must have bogland or even water in which to bathe their roots. They love moisture, but will flourish in any good garden soil if water is applied in abundance and if the exposure is sunny. The latter point is important. It is useless trying to grow Japanese Irises in a shady spot. Sunlight and moisture are the two reguisites for success with these plants. "Let it be remembered that this type of Iris takes an entirely differ- ent treatment from the Bearded Iris. Instead of being planted almost on the surface of the ground, the crowns should be buried two inches. "Peat can be added to advantage to soil where Japanese Irises are to go.
