FALL BLOOMING IRISES 
We are proud to take some credit for 
popularizing Fall Blooming Irises, an 
important new branch of the Iris family. 
Several years experience in handling fall 
bloomers has shown conclusively that 
they will produce two crops of bloom per 
year over a wide area of the country. 
They are at their best in the South 
where they furnish an almost continuous 
succession of bloom. In fact a Southern 
customer reports at least one bloom open 
every day in the year from one of our 
collections. However, with care and at- 
tention fall bloom can be had as far 
North as New England and some of the 
Northern states. Last fall we had a fine 
show with many hundreds of blooms, 
beginning in September and lasting until 
freezing weather in November. The 
fall bloomers are of unquestioned hardi- 
ness even in the North and are of value 
for their color to the intermediate sea- 
son. New varieties are adding to the 
color range and bringing increased size 
and height. Good growing conditions and 
adequate moisture throughout the grow- 
ing season produce the rapid growth 
necessary for maturing the second crop 
of bloom. Frequent transplanting is ad- 
visable as crowded plants do not have 
a chance to rebloom. 
We are much gratified to see that a new 
Fall Bloomer of Mr. Smith’s Fall Dav 
has been honored among the 100 best, 
and we have the hope to see it bloom 
this year, but we are very sorry to learn 
from Clint McDade that he has lost all 
his stock of the new blue Encore, and 
that we probably have all the stock of 
this fine sort. It gave us the longest 
season of summer to fall bloom last year 
and we regard it as a very fine addition 
to the true blue rebloomers.

riety has re-bloomed throughout the
