REF: University of Illinois Extension

I came across this in the latest issue of the Scout Report:

University of Illinois Extension: Horticulture [pdf]
http://web.extension.uiuc.edu/state/hort.html

Located at the crossroads of the United States, the University of
Illinois's well-regarded Extension division has provided outreach
services to the state's residents for over a century. For over a decade,
they have also
provided assistance to both residents of the state and a diverse set of
interested parties from all over the world via their visually attractive
website. One of their sites is dedicated to providing information about
horticulture, with specific sections on plant propagation, urban
agriculture, and composting. Colorful photographs on the horticulture
homepage will deliver visitors to brief and well-written treatises on
"Selecting Trees for Your Home", "Composting for the Homeowner", and
"Gardening with Perennials". Those persons interested in instructing
fellow horticulturalists and neophyte gardeners in the fine art of
vegetative propagation will want to click on over to the "Houseplants"
area which addresses this topic in detail.

I trucked over there and did a search on iris and it came up with quite
a number of links to iris on the site, some of which is fluff and some
of which is, or seems, to be good, solid information, to wit:
http://web.aces.uiuc.edu/vista/pdf_pubs/628.pdf a PDF file on the leaf
spot often mentioned here, and 
http://web.aces.uiuc.edu/vista/pdf_pubs/654.pdf another PDF file on the
Mosaic Virus in iris--mainly species iris.

If you have a chance, you might want to wander over there and take a
peek. There is information on all kinds of plants and garden practices,
but since this is an iris list, well, go off and see for yourself <g>.
