TALL BEARDED IRISES 
T HESE are the Iris most generally known and by far the most popular. During May and 
June, they form a riot of color in the garden. Name of originator is enclosed in parenthesis 
following name of variety. 
Height is given in inches, immediately after the name of the originator; 40" means 40 inches. 
Height as well as flower size varies, of course, with soil, cultivation, and climate. 
S. in the description means the three standards or upright petals of the blossom; F. means the 
falls or downfalling petals; H.M. means that the variety was the recipient of an Honorable 
Mention award bestowed by the judges of the American Iris Society; A.M. means that the 
variety has not only received an Honorable Mention award but also an Award of Merit from 
the American Iris Society. 
The Dykes Medal is given to but one variety each year. To be eligible for this medal, the 
variety must have previously received an Honorable Mention and Award of Merit. A Dykes 
Medal is awarded to one variety in England and to one variety in France each year as well as to 
one variety in America. Six American Iris have received the award.
