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 lacking in form, clarity of color, or 

 other desirable features, was in popular 

 demand if it exhibited fall blooming ten- 

 dencies. 



But here we have the crisp, icy loveliness 

 of "Frost Queen," the rich velvety depth 

 of "Eleanor Roosevelt," "October Opera" 

 with its brilliant large flowers of wine red, 

 and many others, including the Dwarfs 

 "Ultra" and "Neola." Oh, yes, and then 

 there's "Southland," that wonderful deep 

 yellow, and "Autumn Dawn," in blended 

 pink and yellow, something like "Mid- 

 gard." 



These, and the several additional sorts 

 listed, should make a fine addition to any- 

 one's Autumn garden. They are the latest 

 vogue in irisdom. 



ELEANOR ROOSEVELT 



Deep fltiorite purple self, with very rich falls. The 

 opening flower is almost black, and the heavy bine 

 beard tends to increase the depth of color. This is 

 the leading fall-blooming iris in commerce today, be- 

 cause it increases very fast, is most reliable in flower- 

 ing habit, and is one of the most beautiful irises in 

 the garden regardless of its added value as a re- 

 bloomer. We have built up a wonderful stock and can 

 offer it at a reasonable price this season. 



Each $1.50 ; three for $4.00 



FROST QUEEN 



Frosty 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.

 flowers. Of course it also blooms in the spring, with
