MAMMOTH WHITE 
Good Work 
This is not an iris catalog, but we cannot resist quoting the 
following from a New York flower expert, for our introduc¬ 
tions of dahlias, seeds, and gladiolus have always been top- 
notchers, too. The quotation: “I think you are to be congrat¬ 
ulated on having such an outstanding group of recent iris in¬ 
troductions. I know of no other hybridizer or agent of hy¬ 
bridizers, who has brought forth so many really good new 
iris in the last few years. Keep up the good work.” 
Incidentally, our next season’s listing of new iris will be the 
most outstanding we have ever had, eclipsing our introduc¬ 
tions of 1927 and 1934 which had previously been considered 
as the finest groups introduced by any firm in a single year. 
In addition, Carl Salbach and his son, Edward, both took ex¬ 
tensive tours last season, covering the majority of the Nation’s 
iris centers. As a result, they have purchased, to the best of 
their knowledge, all of the Nation’s most outstanding iris. 
These, as well as the new seedlings, will of course, be on dis¬ 
play at the Gardens during iris season, which starts in early 
April and continues through May.
