THE NEW FALL BLOOMING IRISES 
T HIS new type of Iris which not only bloom in the early spring but flower a second time in 
late summer or autumn is a new development in the horticultural world. We are proud to 
be able to offer the largest assortment of this unique type in the entire country. 
These plants grow and increase so fast that they make a year’s growth in five or six months 
and so are ready to bloom again in the fall, after flowering in the early spring. To encourage this 
second blooming, it is advisable to plant in rich non-acid soil, in full sunlight, in as protected a 
location as possible, and water frequently during the summer months as well as keeping the 
ground stirred so that the plants will not fall into a dormant stage, but will continue to grow and 
develop increase buds. 
Once the fall bloomers are established in your garden, they will surprise you continually in 
late summer and fall by producing beautiful blossoms. Some of these varieties are as beautiful 
as any which bloom in the early spring, and are well worth a place in the garden regardless of 
their twice-blooming characteristic. Some of the varieties offered were originated in Minnesota^ 
Iowa, and Illinois, so one can see that the fall blooming habit is not confined to the warmer states, 
though this type blooms best in sections having no severe freezes until late autumn.

It is a fluorite purple self with very rich falls. It 
is exceptionally free-blooming and an unusually 
reliable repeater. Not only does it bloom a month in 
early spring, but generally blooms more than a 
month in the autumn. Fortunately, it is a rapid 
increaser, otherwise we could not supply the de¬ 
mand which has been so large. 35c

FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT (Sass) 30" This variety 
is one of the best fall bloomers, but the roots in¬

purple, larger than most. ** $2.00
