Fall bloomins irises have been rapidly 

 comins 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 Dwarf 

 "Ultra." Oh, yes, and then there's "South- 

 land," that wonderful deep yellow, and 

 "Autumn Dawn," in blended pink and 

 yellow, something like "Midgard." 



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. 



AUTUMN DAWN EACH $2.50 



A bright blend of old gold and pink — certainly an 

 advance in fall bloomers. In California, where it 

 originated, it blooms almost continuously from Aug- 

 ust through the winter, commencing again in April. 

 Height two feet. Stock limited, and the rhizomes are 

 small. 



EACH 75c; 

 THREE FOR $2.00 



ELEANOR ROOSEVELT 



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 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. 



FROST QUEEN EACH $1.00; THREE FOR $2.50 



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. 



GOLDEN HARVEST EACH 35c; THREE FOR $1.00 



Standards olive yellow, tinted blue at the base; 

 falls citron yellow, tinted blue near the haft. This 

 introduces a bx'ight and cheerful note in the fall gar- 

 den, and is the one yellow autumn flowering iris that 

 is obtainable at a low price. 



MARTI E EVEREST EACH $3.00 



Fall bloomer of a lovely tone of soft clear blue. 

 Reliable in its autumn flowering habit, and an easy 

 grower. We are one of the few dealers to list it. 



EACH $10.00 



OCTOBER BLAZE 



A fine big glowing red, along the lines of Indian 

 Chief. This is the first season this new autumn flow- 

 ering iris has been offered. 



OCTOBER OPERA EACH $2.00; THREE FOR $5.00 



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 of 1934. and again in 1035, in oiu" garden it 

 was covered with flowers. Of course it also blooms 

 in the s]n-ing, with the intermediates. 



SOUTHLAND EACH $5.00 



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. 



ULTRA EACH 25c; THREE FOR 50c 



Ultramarine blue, with very velvety falls. This is 

 a pumila hybrid, and blooms with the dwarfs early in 

 the spring, then in the fall it flowers again over a 

 very long period. It is one of the greatest bargains 

 at the price in the entire catalog.
