IRISES—Fall Blooming 
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.
