FALL BLOOMING IRISES 
f R HESE new Irises will add 
^ 4j beauty to your garden in the 
Fall as well as in the Spring. 
We take pride in the fact that we were 
among the first to grow and recom¬ 
mend the members of this important 
new group. Their great and increasing 
popularity has fully justified our 
hopes for them. 
They are at their best in the South 
and also do remarkably well in the 
central section. In the North they will 
probably need special attention in 
order to secure fall bloom. For best 
results they should be brought to 
flower as early as possible in the 
Spring by giving them a sheltered 
location. This will also help to pro¬ 
tect them from early fall frost. If rains 
fail to come in time a good watering 
or two in late summer will hasten the 
development of fall bloom. 
Last fall we had continuous bloom 
for three months, and gardens con¬ 
siderably north of ours were also 
favored with good bloom. Every 
garden should have a collection of 
Fall Bloomers. 
AUTUMN FROST (Schrei¬ 
ner 1934)—Mr. Clint Mc- 
Dade says, “Perhaps the most 
outstanding seedling to bloom 
in my garden last Fall was this 
white Moonlight seedling 
raised by Robert Schreiner. It 
is much the color of Moonlight 
with gold veining on the 
haft." Blooms freely almost as 
early as Autumn King. Stock

AUTUMN QUEEN (H. 
Sass 1926) —This is not only 
the very best white dwarf, but 
is also the most persistent 
rebloomer, giving bloom seven 
months last year. In form and 
purity of color it is the Puris- 
sima of the dwarf section_ .25 
DORCAS HUTCHESON

early and consistent rebloomer
