Fall Blooming Iris 
(Iris Remontants) 
This is a type of Iris which has the tendency to bloom again in 
fall besides blooming in the spring. Mainly dwarf or intermediate 
types, providing a pleasant diversity of types as well as colors, they 
are right in the process of development now by various breeders. 
In culture they like a warm spot, fertile ground, and protection 
from early or late frosts is desired. If the summer is dry, watering 
late in the season will help the plants develop their buds and flower 
before the fall frosts come. 
Recommended Mainly for South and Central States 
The chief value of this race is realized in more southerly locations 
than ours—in the north, because of the earliness of fall frosts, their 
blooming is hindered. For the experimentally inclined gardener, they 
may do well in an especially warm spot or frame, where protection may 
be given from the frosts. 
In the more southern states they are of real worth. Perfectly 
hardy, not requiring extra care, they come into bloom after the hot 
dry summer with bloom to delight the Iris lover. We feel the garden¬ 
ing fraternity is beginning to really appreciate what fine subjects these 
fall bloomers are, and what a delight they can be in the fall garden. 
The key number following the name places these in their relation
