"An Iris Lover's Catalog” 
The "100 Best” Iris 
Our yearly listing of the ”100 Best Iris” of the season has created 
such wide interest among Iris Lovers that it has become one of the 
leading features of this Catalog. Listed below is our latest selection 
of superior merit and achievement in each color group. 
Newer introductions may, when they show sufficient merit, be 
included in this honor list—Several new arrivals of fine quality being 
included this year—but the newer varieties are finding it increasingly 
difficult to surpass the leadership of those now listed as the ”100 Best.”

In Venturing to name The "100 Best” Iris of the Season, we realize that 
there is bound to be a considerable difference of opinion, it being almost impossible 
to agree on such a selection; obviously allowances must be made for climate varia¬ 
tions, personal preferences as to types and colors, etcetera. However, we believe 
tastes more often agree than differ and that most of the best informed will confirm 
our selection as fair and impartial—indeed super types.
