Autumn Flowering Iris 
Ultra 
FLOWERING TWO OR MORE TIMES EACH SEASON 
This illus¬ 
tration did 
not come 
out quite 
right, as 
there is more violet 
tone to it and the falls 
are much darker than 
shown. We plan to have 
another set of color 
plates made during the 
coming flowering sea¬ 
son. 
Autumn Dawn— 28 in. EXQUISITELY FRAGRANT. AN 
EVERBLOOMER IN CALIFORNIA, WHERE IT ORIGI¬ 
NATED, and in other moderate climates. A delightfully ruffled 
soft pink and soft yellow blend. A new color break in this 
group.20 
Autumn Elf —18 in. Another new and dainty color in the Autumn 
Flowering Irises, with ruffled standards of cream and with 
flaring falls of soft lilac, with deeper veins at the throat. .20 
Autumn Frost— 36 in. VERY SWEET FRAGRANCE. The 
tallest of the Autumn Flowering varieties. Very large beauti¬ 
fully poised flowers of perfect form, wax-like substance and 
alabaster whiteness. 50 
Autumn Haze —30 in. NEW. VIOLET 
FRAGRANCE. This is by far the largest 
and most outstanding of all Autumn Flow¬ 
ering varieties, comparing in size with 
the giant Nene. The standards are light 
lavender-violet and the falls are hyssop- 
violet, shading to manganese violet at the 
centre. It is superb in every way. A large stock of extra fine plants permits 
a low price for the first time this season. 25 
Autumn King —See King Jr. 
Autumn Queen— 18 in. A lovely pure snow-white. One Kansas grower in¬ 
forms me that he has had flowers on Autumn Queen for seven months 
out of a year, which 
would make it almost an 
ever-bloomer.20 
Black Magic —28 in. This 
is by far the finest and 
most profuse fall- 
bloomer of all. The 
25c 
i 
These Double Duty Irises not only blossom in the spring, 
along with other early flowering varieties (Early May in the 
latitude of Long Island and a month earlier in the south) BUT 
THEY FLOWER AGAIN PROFUSELY IN THE AUTUMN, 
BEGINNING IN SEPTEMBER AND CONTINUING UNTIL 
KILLED BY HEAVY FROST. SOME OF THEM ALSO 
FLOWER INTERMITTENTLY THROUGHOUT THE 
SUMMER, THUS GIVING SEVERAL SEASONS OF 
BLOOM. They are all hardy and can be planted any time and 
require little care. Planting and cultural directions accom¬ 
pany all shipments. 
Black Magic 
50c 
Peggy Babbington—20c—Greatly Reduced 
original plant, divided 
into 10 parts in the fall, 
produced 40 flowering 
stalks the following 
September, with more 
than 200 flowers, each 
plant producing from 
3 to 6 stalks. It also flowers just as profusely in early spring. The color is an 
intense deep blue-violet, with a rich velvety lustre anil a black sheen. See color 
illustration.50 
Dorcas Hutcheson 18 in. FRAGRANT. An exceptionally fine rich uniform 
pansy-violet, and one of the best. An extra fine stock of large rhizomes 
enables me to make a very low price on this choice variety.20 
Eleanor Roosevelt —26 in. A profuse bloomer twice a year and one of 
the best of the recent introductions. The color illustration does not 
begin to show the richness of color or silky texture.20 
Franklin Roosevelt— 30 in. FRAGRANT. This is one of the most 
attractive flowers of all the Fall Bloomers, the color being red-purple, 
with a blue zone on the falls. It is a beautiful flower, but a slow pro¬ 
pagator, hence the stock remains scarce and the price proportionately 
high. I have refrained from offering this variety for several years in 
order to build up a stock of it, but my stock is still small. 1.00 
Frost Queen 22 in. A new frosty-white of great merit, with much 
larger flowers than Autumn Queen. 10 to 12 flowers to a nicely 
branched stalk make it an unusual fall bloomer. Very fine in every 
way. 2‘o
