Autumn Flowering Iris 
FLOWERING TWO OR MORE TIMES EACH SEASON 
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. 
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

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. The

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’. 0.2), 2? seun-csees atte cae we eae 
Autumn Haze—30 in. NEW. VIOLET FRAGRANCE. This is by far the 
largest and most outstanding of all Autumn Flowering 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 very low

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 
mest profuse  fall- 
bloomer of all. The 
original plant, divided 
into 10 parts in the fall, 
produced 40 flowering 
stalks the fcllowing 
September, with more 
than 200 flowers, each 
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 and a black sheen. See color illustration. .35 
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. Almost identical in color with 
“Black Magic,”’ which, however, flowers earlier and even more pro- 
fusely.. 2: :.. d-s.« Siacelenale capone heim ean tae ce oN aah aera een er 
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
