Early Intermediate Irises 
The joy of your May garden will be greatly enhanced, if you will paint a few of these irises into the picture. Their 
blooming time is between the dwarfs and the tall bearded irises; with us, the middle of May. As a class, they can 
be counted upon to increase rapidly and to show prolific bloom. The Re-bloomers, described in the next section, 
usually blossom at the same time as do these.

Fail Blooming Irises or Re-bloomers 
This comparatively new class of irises is meeting with well-deserved favor in the warmer states, and is well worth 
a trial in more northern localities. As a rule, these irises bloom with the intermediates, and are the medium height 
that we find among those varieties. Your garden picture may have a surprising bit of color some October day, if 
you will plant a few of these Re-bloomers in a sheltered location, where they may develop their blossom buds 
early enough to decide to start all over again in the fall. 
AUTUMN DAWN (Nies. 1934) A delightful blend of 
old gold and pink, which in California, is said to be an almost 
continual bloomer. 28". $1.50 
AUTUMN ELF (Brown 1933) In the originator’s garden, 
this iris blooms in June, in mid-summer, and again in the fall. 
The creamy S. are slightly ruffled; the lavender F. have a creamy 
edge. 26". H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $2.00
