We find that many people do not know that this class of irises bloom in the spring and then again 
in the fall, if weather conditions are right and proper cultivation, fertilization and irrigation are given. 
We had a very late fall, in the vicinty of Freeport, last year and we had fertilized with a quick¬ 
acting fertilizer in mid-August, and had ample rain from then on. In late September we were 
rewarded with a quantity of bloom on this class of iris. Autumn Queen and Golden Harvest bloomed 
October 5th, in early October we had a full row of Equinox on 3-foot stems which were well branched 
and carried as many as seventeen buds. A good flower, but not outstanding when judged by our 
exacting requirements for tall bearded iris, but when seen on a dull October day, quite good enough 
to thrill anyone. Eleanor Roosevelt, September Skies, Frost Queen and Autumn King Jr. bloomed 
well, but the rest of our list failed to show. We believe this type of iris will become very popular 
in localities where frost comes late, but they cannot be depended upon in the north. They are worth 
a try, however, if moderate in price, as many are now, because of the keen pleasure derived when 
the season is right.
