Intermediates and Fall Bloomers 



Fall blooming irises have been rapidly coming 

 into prominence, especially with the advent of new 

 colors and better varieties. 



Time was when any old iris, no matter how lack- 

 ing in form, clarity of color, or other desirable 

 features, was in popular demand if it exhibited fall 

 blooming tendencies. 



These should make a fine addition to anyone's 

 Autumn garden. They are the latest vogue in irisdom. 



Cosette. Ivory Elf and Red Orchid are NOT fall 

 bloomers. 



AUTUMN DAWN Each 50c; 3 for $1.00 



Fall bloomer of blended old gold and pink — cer- 

 tainly an advance in this type. In California, where 

 it originated, it blooms almost continuously from 

 August through the winter, commencing again in 

 April. Height, two feet. Very rapid increaser, in no 

 way tender. 



AUTUMN FROST Each $2.00; 3 for $5 



A large flowered pure white, with 

 golden haft and beard. A fall bloomer. 



COSETTE Each 50c; 3 for $1.00 



Newly introduced by the Sass Broth- 

 ers in 1936, Cosette is offered as a fine, 

 large, broad petaled white intermediate 

 with every good point. 



ELEANOR ROOSEVELT 



Each 20c; 3 for 50c 



Deep fluorite purple self, with very 

 rich falls. The opening flower is almost 

 black, and the heavy blue beard tends 

 to increase the depth of color. This is 

 the leading fall-blooming iris in com- 

 merce today, because it increases very 

 fast, is most reliable in flowering habit, 

 and is one of the most beautiful irises in 

 the garden regardless of its added value 

 as a re-bloomer. 



FROST QUEEN Each 50c; 3 for $ 1 .00 



Frostv white, exceptionally free bloomer, and of 

 perfect form. This has proven very dependable as a 

 re-bloomer in Kansas, Nebraska, and Tennessee, as 

 well as on the Pacific Coast. A succession of new 

 bloom stalks follow each other throughout the fall. 



GOLDEN HARVEST Each 50c 



Standards olive yellow, tinted blue at the base; 

 falls citron yellow, tinted blue near the haft. This 

 introduces a bright and cheerful note in the fall gar- 

 den, and is the one yellow autumn flowering iris that 

 is obtainable at a low price. 



IVORY ELF Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



The falls are smooth and flaring, creamy with ivory 

 center; standards are creamy white with golden 

 flec v s, very foamy in effect. No other intermediate 

 resembles it, and we are certain that it will be a very 

 happy companion to tulips and other flowers of early 

 spring. Height 20 inches. 



MARTIE EVEREST Each $2.00 



A tall and very well branched fall 

 bloomer, the best blue autumn flow- 

 ering variety. 



OCTOBER BLAZE 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A fine big glowing red, along the 

 lines of Indian Chief, but it is a per- 

 sistent autumn bloomer. Much bright- 

 er in color than October Opera and 

 larger in size. 



OCTOBER OPERA Each 50c; 3 for $1 

 A new color in autumn flowering 



sorts, a rich wine-red. It is brighter 

 than the old Opera, much larger, and 

 is also taller. This is a fine grower, 

 and in the fall in our garden it was 

 covered with flowers. Of course it 

 also blooms in the spring, with the 

 intermediates. 



EVELYN PULLAR 



EVELYN PULL AR Each $10.00 



A real winter bloomer, one that begins to flower 

 after the usual fall bloomers have finished. A con- 

 tinuous crop of buds carries the parade of flowers 

 well into spring. Protected from snow and freezing 

 weather by a box-like frame, one never would guess 

 that the accompanying picture was made during 

 Christmas week! Color is a medium to light blue, with 

 bright orange beard. Stock very limited. 



FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 

 A sure-fire fall blocmer, but not very rapid of in- 

 crease. Tall, well branched, bright red purple in 

 color, with blue blaze on the falls. 



RED ORCHID Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



Very early flowering intermediate, glowing like a 

 coal of fire in the morning and evening light. Deep 

 red in effect, violet-carmine technically, it is so recent 

 as to be hardly known as yet but is certain to be 

 popular when the public has seen it in flower. Height 

 28 inches. 



SOUTHLAND Each 75c; 3 for $1.50 



The Sass Brothers have given us most of our 

 autumn flowering irises, and now we are indebted to 

 them for this fine big yellow. The color is deep lemon 

 chrome, with flowers of large size and thick heavy 

 substance. Flaring falls and domed standards, the 

 stems low branched. Vigorous in growth, two feet tall.
