Autumn Blooming Iris 
Within the last few years a few breeders have been turning out the pioneers of a wonderful 
new race of Autumn flowering Irises. These bloom in the Spring, and then again in the late 
Summer or Fall. So far only a few have been introduced, but it is expected that in the near 
future we will have many more, and in time will approximate the riot of color that is found 
in the Spring Iris Garden. Those we have now give us a fine range of color, and are very 
beautiful when they appear in the brisk clear days of September and October, cheerfully 
withstanding the snows and early freezes which we have here in New York. 
Besides those regularly blooming in the Fall, there are others wihich give occasional Fall 
bloom. Many of the early Dwarfs do this, and some of the Tall Bearded. Apache, Crimson 
King, and Moa show this tendency. In more Southern latitudes there are still others, for 
which our New York season is too short.
