ROYAL IRIS GARDENS 
1935 
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 which 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.

colors. They grow and bloom well under exactly the same treatment as Bearded Iris, flowering 
with the Intermediates.
