Over-the-Garden- Wall 
General List of Bearded Irises 
Except early Dwarfs and Intermediates 
The colorful pageant of these irises starts, here in Connecticut, the last few days of May, and 
advances to its full glory during the first ten days of June. There are interesting novelties added 
for this year, whose names appear in capital letters; there are masses of the best of the irises intro¬ 
duced a few years ago; there is a large planting of the low-priced irises, which were designated by a 
visitor of last year, as our “5 and 10" department. (The lists of these will be found on pages 12 to 16.) 
And there are also several hundred varieties of which we have so little stock, that their names have 
been omitted from the catalogue. 
Enclosed in the parenthesis after each iris, is the name of the originator and the year of intro¬ 
duction. Various groups of initials following the descriptions, designate awards received by these 
irises, here and abroad.
