Intermediate Iris 
The varieties in this group are the result of crosses between the early Miniature Iris and the later blooming Tall 
Bearded Iris. The crossing of these two groups gives us a race that is "intermediate” in height as well as in blooming 
season. They come into bloom just when the early Miniatures are finishing and continue to bloom right into the season 
of the taller Bearded Iris. 
The varieties in this section are especially fine for the border, in front of the taller blooming varieties. They are 
quite handsome, the individual Rowers being large, and as fine as the later Rowering Iris. They may be planted any 
time during the summer months and until the ground freezes but the best months are June, July and August. Like the 
Tall Bearded Iris they are quite hardy and of the easiest culture. Planting and cultural directions accompany all 
shipments.
