Intermediate Iris 
This type of iris comes into bloom about tulip time, i.e., twelve to fifteen days before the later varieties. The term intermediate 
applies to time of blooming rather than to height and size of plant as some would-be innovators are trying to infer. There are many 
sizes and colors now available and we expect numerous improvements in the future.

Fall-Blooming Iris 
The so-called remontants constitute a newly-developed race of iris which bloom a second time in the fall after the severe heat of 
the summer is over. We especially recommend these iris for planting in the South, Mid-South, or wherever lateness of autumn frosts 
affords a long fall blooming-season.
