Novelties 
There are so many fine Irises introduced each year now that it is very difficult to pick out the 
best. However, in this list will be found those that are universally hailed as wonderful improve¬ 
ments, or have already proven their claims as superfine Irises. All of these varieties are definite 
improvements over older ones of similar coloring, or are of new and novel shades. 
The name of the Irises is followed in parenthesis by the name of the originator and date of in¬ 
duction. The figures after that give the average height of stalk in inches. “S.” denotes the Stan¬ 
dards, or upper petals; “F.” the Falls, or lower petals.
