EARLY BLOOMING INTERMEDIATES 
These varieties range in height from 15 to 28' inches and commence blooming with the tulips some two to 
three weeks before the tall bearded group flower in the garden. About a half dozen are late bloomers, and 
flower at the same time as the tall bearded. Every garden should have a few of this type in order to extend 
the flowering season. The blossoms are of good size and excellent color, due to improved breeding work of 
the various iris hybridizers. 
ABELARD (Sass) 26". S. deep, rich, livid brown; F. veronia purple. 
An unusual color and one of the best early bloomers. H. M. 20c

beard. 35c

TYPICAL INTERMEDIATE 
GENTIUS (Sass) 24". Dark bluish-violet S. and royal purple F. make 
this iris very showy. H. M. 20c 
GOLDEN BOW (Sass) 28". One of the best new early flowering 
ydllow originations. A. M. 50c 
GOLDEN WEST (Sass) 28". Considered the finest new early bloom¬ 
ing origination—a golden yellow with semi-flaring F. slightly 
flushed olive. H. M. 30c 
ISTRIA (Dykes) 26". Quite a large white flower which makes a 
colorful appearance in early spring, a group appearing similar 
to an unmelted snow bank remaining from winter. 20c 
MAID OF THE MIST (Bran.) 24". Odd shade of gray with F. washed 
violet and edged buff. Orange beard. Very odd. 25c 
NYMPH (Sass) 26". Empire yellow blooming very freely in early 
spring. 20c 
OKOBOJI (Sass) 28". Deep velvety dark maroon purple, with S. 
slightly lighter. 20c

RED ELF (Ben.) 20". Small deep ruby flower; like Spark but not as 
good. 35c 
RED ORCHID (Sass) 28". Though really violet-carmine, the flowers 
give a deep red effect. Dark yellow beard. This one and Spark 
are the reddest early bloomers. H. M. 30c 
SEA FOAM (Sturt.) 24". Delightful early flowering frosty white. 25c 
SNOW MAIDEN (Salb.) 12". Pure white in color. Its extreme flori- 
ferousness results in a solid mass of bloom. H. M. 25c 
SPARK (Nich.) 26". An eye-catching brick red self which is one of 
the really fine varieties on a red shade. Burnt orange beard. We 
cannot recommend this one too highly to our customers. 25c 
SUSA (Sass) 24". To us, this one is the loveliest of all early bloom¬ 
ing intermediates. It is such an unusual and delightful color 
shade—a self of deep violet-rose. If we could have but ten iris, 
this would be one of them. By all means try it in your garden. 
H. M. 25c 
TOM TIT (Bliss) 22". Very deep violet-purple. This variety is not an 
early bloomer like the others, but an extremely late bloomer 
which flowers after the tall bearded. It is excellent for cut-flower 
bouquets. 25c 
ZUA (Craw.) 18". Early flowering fragrant white, slightly tinged 
lilac, with all petals delightfully crinkled like crepe paper. 25c 
ZWANNENBURG (Den.) 20". This variety is the very first of the 
taller iris to bloom in the spring. The large, silky cup-shaped S. 
are cream, flushed soft violet; F. are of rich old gold, splashed 
soft maroon. 20c 
Any ten of above 20c or 25c varieties for $1.25. 
All thirty-one varieties, valued at $7.85, for $3.95.
