FALL BLOOMING IRISES 



Below we offer a few of the finest known new Antunin Flowering Irises. The development 

 and improvement of this class of irises has quickened interest in them, and last season we 

 received many requests for stock. The few we offer are distinct from each other, and are 

 among the most reliable in fall flowering habit. 



For best resiilts fall bloomers should be brought to flower as early as possible in the spring, and should 

 be watered in the fall if the season is dry. More frequent dividing and resetting than with ordinary irises 

 is also advisable. They are not reliable in the northern portion of the country, but do extremely Avell in the 

 SoiTth, on the Pacific Coast, and in the Central West and in the latitude of Tennessee. To bloom them 

 successfully in the North, cold frame facilities should be provided to advance the spring blooming period.

From the Gardener s Point of View 



From far away Australia: 



"The parcel of r'nzonies nnd lily bulbs as per your ad- 

 vice of September 28th arriverl safely and all of them were 

 in good condition, and I have to thank you for your care 

 in drying and packing." 



L. W. WHEELER, 

 24 Currie Street, 



Adelaide, So. Australia. 



"The iris rhizoni.es arrived safely and opened up to my 

 complete satisfaction. My thanks are due to you for in- 

 cluding in the shipment the variety 'Legend'." 



A. E. HAEEISON, 



4 Hurlestone Street, 



Melbourne, Australia 



"The collection of iris roots from you arrived in prime 

 condition after a week's trip across the continent. You sure 

 do grow them big! They are as fine a lot as I ever saw. 

 I'll be back for more when times improve." 



H. L. HUTT. 



Georgetown, Ont. 



"The iris came in tonight and were the finest I have ever 

 seen, so large and such wonderful root systems, and as fresh 

 as though they were just dug. You spoke about Lodestar 

 making a small rhizome — well it was as large as the largest 

 I received from a mid-western grower, and that is not said 

 in discredit to them., either, for I was entirely satisfied 

 with their treatment, but your rhizomes are superb. Shall 

 be with you again next year." 



W. A. AEPPLI, 



Plymouth, Indiana. 



"The iris and poppies were received Ijy me yesterday and 

 were in perfect shape. I beg to advise that the rhizomes 

 were decidedly the largest and healthiest looking that I 

 have ever purchased from anyone. It will be a pleasure 

 for me to place my future orders for iris with j^our con- 

 cern." 



JAS. D. ADAMS, 



701 Commerce Street, 



Lynchburg, Virginia. 



"Last year I purchased from you the Wm. Mohr collection 

 and the Asia collection of iris, and I am pleased to report 

 that every one lived and bloomed, and what a show!" . 



OSCAR DOUGLAS, 



■Tecumseh, Nebraska. 



"Many thanks for the clean and good looking plants, also 

 for the "extra. The plants sent last year all bloomed this 

 spring." 



STELLA F. A. STONE, 

 11 Craven Circle,

 next June." 



GEORGE H. BLISS,
