INTERMEDIATE IRIS 
The majority of the varieties in this section are the result of crosses 
between the early Dwarf Iris and the later Tall Bearded Iris. The 
result is a group that is “intermediate,” in height as well as in bloom- 
ing season, between these two sections. The “Intermediates” thus pro- 
long the Iris season and make it continuous, as they come into bloom 
just as the last of the early dwarfs are finishing and continue to bloom 
right into the season of the taller bearded Iris. I have also included 
in this collection several of the best of the collected wild types, which 
bloom at the same time and are of intermediate height; also Zwanen- 
burg, a Pogocyclus Hybrid, which goes well with them and blooms at 
the same time. . 
The varieties in this section are especially fine for the border in 
front of the taller blooming varieties. They are all extremely hardy, 
and are prodigious bloomers; the individual flowers being large and 
almost as fine as the later blooming Iris. You’ll get a great thrill out 
of these choice early flowering varieties. They may be transplanted at 
any time when the ground is not frozen. 
CHIEF (J. Sass, 1926), 20 to 24 inches. A new large rich royal purple 
intermediate of uniform shade, excepting that there are some 
blackish tones in the velvety falls. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.50, 6 for $10.00 
CRETAN, 73-78 (Dykes, 1923). VERY FRAGRANT. Collected by 
the late Wm. R. Dykes on the island of Crete. He pronounced 
it one of the most striking Iris in cultivation. Standards are 
very bright blue violet and the falls are of the deepest and 
richest violet purple. Very rare. 
$2.00 each; 3 for $5.50, 6 for $10.00 
DOLPHIN, 79-80 (Caparne, 1901), 18 inches. Erect sky-blue stand- 
ards with rich pansy violet falls, edged lilac and a bright orange 
beard. Very large flower. The very high rating given to this 
variety speaks for itself. 
50c each; 3 for $1.25, 6 for $2.00, 100 for $25.00 
DOROTHEA, 70-70 (Caparne, 1901), 18 inches. This is a rather hand- 
some large flowered variety. The standards are blue white 
faintly flushed lilac. The falls are of the same color but with 
a deeper lilac tinge and irregularly streaked and mottled a 
deeper violet. It is particularly hardy and free flowering, in 
sun or shade, and has been flowering profusely for me under a 
tree in full shade. The standards ‘and falls lie out flat like a 
Japanese Iris, displaying a beautifully marked throat. 
50c each; 3 for $1.25, 6 for $2.00, 100 for $25.00 
FRITJOF, 74-78 (G. & K., 1910), 24 inches. A flower of good form 
and size with clear light lavender-blue standards and satiny 
red purple falls edged lavender. 
50c each; 3 for $1.25, 6 for $2.00, 100 for $25.00 
GNOME, 78-82 (Bliss, 1921), 18 to 24 inches. This is undoubtedly 
one of the largest, richest and best of all the intermediates. 
The color is an intense ruby claret of a uniform color through- 
out and the petals are of a velvety texture. Very scarce. 
$2.50 each, 3 for $6.75, 6 for $12.00
