Intermediate Iris 
This is an EARLY FLOWERING Group, that follows the miniature Iris, and continues 
flowering- until the Tall Bearded Iris Season. They may be planted any time during the 
summer months and until the ground freezes, but the best months are June, July August 
and September. Like the Tall Bearded Iris, they are quite hardy and of the easiest cul¬ 
ture. Cultural directions accompany all shipments.

Pogocyclus Hybrids 
This very interesting section is the result of crosses between the Oncocyclus type, 
with the hardy Pogoniris or Bearded Iris. These hybrids carry the very interesting char¬ 
acteristics of the Oncocyclus Iris, but are even more hardy in our northern gardens than 
the Tall Bearded Iris. Many are heavily veined and netted and others have other unusual 
markings. They are Early Flowering, blooming with the Intermediates. All are interest¬ 
ing and handsome and quite different from all other Iris families. Cultural directions will 
accompany all shipments.
