JI: What is that packing stuff?


Hi everyone,
Here's a probably-dumb question:  What is that stuff my Japanese iris is
packed in?  I just received my order from Aitken's (very, very nice, thank
you Terry and Scott).  I ordered one Japanese iris, ROSE QUEEN (check out the
photo in the Random House Perennials if you have it).  This is my very first
Japanese iris and it is packed in this stuff that looks like crumbled
gelatin.  So, what is it?  What do I do with it?  Can I use it in the
planting hole?  Should I put it down the drain, or will it mess up my septic
tank?  

Feeling very ignorant,
Mary Forte, Atascadero, CA  Zone 8 or 9 (depending on the year and part of
the yard) where CRIMSON KING is back in bloom after a two week vacation
