Join the American Iris Society. Send $3.00 for a year's membership to 
H. R. Watkins, Secretary, 821 Washington Loan and Trust Bldg., Washing¬ 
ton, D. C. Four fine bulletins every year, worth more than the dues. 
The Iris Societies of America, England and France each year confer awards 
to outstanding irises. These awards are known as Honorable Mention, Award of 
Merit, and the Dykes Medal, indicated herein by H. M., A. M., and Dykes. The 
Dykes Medal may be awarded annually to only one iris each in England, France 
and America, and is the highest honor an iris can receive. It is never given to an 
unworthy iris. 
FALL BLOOMING IRISES 
The fall blooming of Irises is still more or less experimental in the northern 
states. The following list includes a number of the best performers in this respect. 
After a brief rest period in June, they should be well supplied with bone meal and 
watered thoroughly once a week. A protected, sunny location is helpful. 
We have great pleasure in offering the finest performers in this group. The 
demand is great so early orders are advisable.
