THE NEW TWICE BLOOMING IRIS 

A TYPICAL TWICE BLOOMER 
These iris are rapid reproducers and on this ac- 
count bloom not only in the spring, but also again in 
September and October, doing their best in the more 
southern states. They are mostly among the dwarfs 
and intermediate sorts, our own Hallowe'en Night be- 
ing the only tall blooming twice bloomer. We have 
specialized in these for several years and offer the 
greatest number of varieties of any grower. Why have 
iris in bloom only in May and early June, when by 
the proper selection one can very much extend the 
blooming season practically the year around? 
To encourage the second blooming, a rich soil is advisable and 
watering during the summer months will greatly help. After the 
third year, the plants should be divided and reset in June for it is 
not best that the plants become too crowded.
