Autumn King 
^all /iloamincf. Qe^ma4i> 9^ili 
We take great pleasure in offering a list of the finest fall bloomers in 
cultivation. While best results are secured with these Irises below the 
Mason'Dixon Line, by a little care we have obtained excellent fall 
bloom in Michigan. Some of the varieties listed not only bloom pro' 
fusely early in spring, but under favorable conditions also produce 
crop after crop of flowers for more than 100 days in late summer and 
fall. There are as yet but comparatively few of these flowers in ex¬ 
istence* and the demand has been so great that we, as well as the few 
other growers who have stocks of fall bloomers, could fill only a small 
proportion of the orders received last year. Please order early.

similar to Autumn King, but blooms more profusely.60
