THE NEW FALL BLOOMING IRISES 
T HIS new type of Iris which not only bloom in the early spring, but flower a 
second time in late summer or autumn is a new development in the horticul¬ 
tural world. We are proud to be able to offer the largest assortment of this 
unique type in the entire country. These re-bloomers flower best in the southern 
half of the United States and on the Pacific Coast, but will bloom at least once 
a year in any state. Even in the colder states, they often produce a second 
flowering. 
These plants grow and increase so fast that they make a years growth in five 
or six months and so are ready to bloom in the fall. To encourage this second 
blooming, it is advisable to plant in rich non-acid soil, in full sunlight, in as pro¬ 
tected a location as possible, and water frequently during the summer months so 
that the plants will not fall into a dormant stage, but will continue to grow and 
develop offshoots. 
All the varieties we offer in this section are perfectly hardy with the excep¬ 
tion of the winter-blooming Stylosa which is not a bearded variety and which 
will grow only in milder climates. Once the fall-bloomers are established in your 
garden, they will surprise you continually in late summer and fall by producing 
beautiful blossoms. Some of these varieties are as beautiful as any which bloom 
in the early spring, and are well worth a place in the garden regardless of their 
twice-blooming characteristics. Some of the varieties offered were originated in 
Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois, so one can see that the fall-blooming habit is not 
confined to the warm south. 
Do not plant roots in July or August and expect bloom the same autumn. 
They will, however, give a good bloom the following spring and fall.

ure from them. I am more than pleased with the quality of the roots and from your generous treatment.”
