GERMAN IRIS 
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 profusely 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 existence 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.
