sIURIA14
The Siberian hria.(Irissibiric0
has long been considere.d the
Cinderella of the iris world, but
in recent year$ its 1391)4144y has
SO greatly increased that it bids
fair to become a rival Of the.
more ornamental and more
glamorous tall bearded type.
VIRSe stalwart perennials
have always been admired by the
more experienced ,gardener but
they are now being grown in
increasing numbers by the home
owner, who is 'beginning to
appreciate their lasting 9ualities
and usefulness.
It is rather .unfair to compare
thew irises with the bearded,
types for they perform cinite a
different function in the garden,
Although the flowers " are
smaller, they are exquisitely
refined, yet not as fragile as their
more colorfUl relatives. High
wind's merely mass the flowers
together for a while and never
scar even the most .widely
opened floret.
Whereas the tall bearded iris
flower can stand alone, elegant
and refined in every detail, the
flowers of the Siberians must
have company. Their special
purpose in the garden is to
present collectively, a
bright-blue, purple, sky-blue or
white sea • of bloom as a reward
for their inclusion.
Clumps of these irises,, two to
four feet high, are attractive
from spring to fall because,
unlike the bearded ones, their
foliage does not deteriorate right
after flowering, but continues-to
grow unchecked.
The leaves, too,• are slender
and graSslike and have a lush
green colour that seems to fit
them admirably for poolside
planting.
Cultivation is extremely
simple; the Siberians are very
resistant to insects, disease, and
even rough treatment from
children, pets and mechanical
ectUinment,
They are meadow plants by
nature and seem to prefer moist
locations, although they will
grow reasonably well in sandy
soils.
Apart from poolsi,de
plantings, they are well suited
for massing in drifts by
themselves.
The late Miss Isabella Preston,
formerly a plant breeder at the
Central Experimental Farm and
responsible for many new
introductions of these
perennials, was so fascinated by
the water-like mass effect of
these plants that she named all
her varieties after Canadian
rivers and lakes.
They may also be planted in
foundation plantings,
particularly against a white
background. They form an
excellent pieture in the perennial
border when combined with
salmon oriental poppies, early
yellow and orange daylilies,
campanulas and foxgloves.
Siberians also add a light airy
grace to any plantings such as
beside a tree or gate or at the
margins of rockgardens; or they
can be used as a hedgelike
divider between two gardens.
Although these plants like
full sun, they will stand some
shade and are not particular as
to soil, provided it is well
drained.
Allow them plenty of space.
They grow fast and will remain
in one place for eight • to ten
years before needing to be
divided.
The best time to plant
Siberian irises is in early fall. At
this time they quickly become
established and large clumps will
produce a few blooms the first
year.,
No matter when you order
the young plants, very few
mirserymeb will ship them at
any other time of the , year
except the end of August to the
end of September.
Single young plants are very
small and slow in starting into
growth, so if, you want an
immediate effect select fairly
large divisions with five or more
`fans' of leaves..
Prepare the soil well and
enrich it with humus such as
compost or peat moss and a
complete fertilizer (6-9-6), When
planting, make a large hole for
each clump so that the roots are
not crowded and then water well
and firm the soil sround them.
Set the plants' at least a foot
between each group to allow for
future growth.
A year or two after planting,
the clumps become so strong
that weeds rarely get a foothold,
but you must keep weeding
them until then. As they become
older, it is a good idea to
fertilize them in early spring and,
again in July. ,
There are many good
standard cultivars and some
exciting new ones now being
introduced. Among the best of
the ones under test at the Plant
Research Institute's trial gardens
are White' Swirl, the best new
white; Royal Herald, deep royal
blue; Tunkhannock, a purple
lavender; and Mandy Morse, a
medium blue and light blue
bitone with small white and gold
shafts — a most unique colouring
for a Siberian type iris.
Older ones of merit 'are Snow
Crest, white; Tycoon, bluish
white; Royal Ensign, aster
purple with a blue patch; Eric
the Red, reddish magenta;
Gatineau, light blue; Mountain
Lake, bright clear blue; and Cool
Spring, a two-toned blue.

Put your tulip beds in a good
'location where they will be well
displayed. Early tulips do best in
fell sunlight, but the late ones
do better in' partial shade.
The soil must be well drained
to give the best results. Cultivate
the beds to a depth of about one
foot and apply a 5,20-20
analysis fertilizer at the rate of
21/2 pounds per 100 square feet.
Bulbs planted early in the fall
develop roots and are well
established when winter begins.
' The best tulip bulbs are large
and of uniform size, and they
must be disease-free. Cheaper

bulbs will depend on the desired
effect. A minimum of four
inches apart is best for clumps in
the border. Wider spacing is
desirable for formal beds.
The beds should be covered
with a mulch of straw, leaves or
peat for the winter. Four inches
of mulch, applied about the time
the ground freezes, will prevent
deep freezing, and help maintain
uniform soil temperature. It
should be removed very early in
the spring to allow the young
leaves to develop.
