Iris Remontants 
Everblooming—Spring and Fall Blooming Types 
These are a new development in Iris giving a race that bloom 
not only in the Spring, but in the Fall as well—two season’s bloom in 
one year. In this group are Dwarfs, Intermediates and Tall bearded 
providing a most pleasing variety of types as well as colors. 
Most Satisfactory in Southern States 
These Everblooming types will do best in the more Southern 
States, especially those below the Mason and Dixie line. In such areas 
they will be found a real improvement. They bloom in the Spring 
and after a hot dry Summer and give a wealth of bloom when given 
just ordinary consideration. 
Not Generally Satisfactory in North 
We do not recommend these types for planting in the North, 
especially in the colder sections. In the two top tiers of states they 
must still be regarded as curiosities requiring special care and protec¬ 
tion. In Minnesota only cold frame treatment is successful—in the 
open field or ordinary garden they do not bloom. 
For Best Results 
For best results is is advisable to plant these Iris in the warmest 
spot in your garden where they are protected from early or late frosts, 
thus insuring early blooms and greater possibility of flowering again 
in the fall. 
Autumn King, an old reliable blue-purple bi-color - - $ 0.2 5 
Autumn Frost, our own fall blooming seedling. Mr. Clint 
McDade, to whom it was sent for evalution and compari¬ 
son with his very large collection, reports it to be the 
finest New Fall blooming Iris he has seen. It is an ex¬ 
quisite white of good substance, gold beard and yellow 
haft with the standard a bit open; is about the same 
height as Autumn King and blooms at about the same 
time; it has good color, does not wilt in the hot sun, 
blooms over a long period. (30 days in Tennessee.)
