Foreword 
Our Iris are grown in rich alluvial mountain soil a mile above sea 
level. Here the abundance of sunny dry days that bring health to 
people also produces sturdy, well-ripened iris rhizomes. 
Iris season 1938 provided us the splendid opportunity to visit the 
iris gardens of the Sass brothers and of Dr. A. P. Loomis, and to confer 
there with other iris authorities on comparative qualities of recent 
originations. 
Mr. D. M. Andrews’ introductions, over a number of years, have re¬ 
ceived high commendation. Visitors come to Rockmont from far to see 
his well-known hybrids. In addition to these, we grow a selection of other 
iris whose reputation for beauty and performance has been well es¬ 
tablished. 
Last year we introduced Mr. Andrews’ BOULDERADO and DUKE 
OF WINDSOR. Both have received warm praise from iris growers and 
iris connoisseurs. This year we are offering special collections of proven 
value. We commend them to your consideration.

Culture: Tall bearded iris may be planted summer to fall. They prefer a 
sunny, well-drained position and should be planted “like a duck-on-water,” 
but the soil must be well firmed about the fibrous roots, the top of the 
rhizome even with the ground surface. 
Siberian and Spuria iris should be planted either in spring or fall. 
They prefer a damp soil, rich in humus and slightly acid. Some require 
light shade. 
Iris descriptions include initials, E, M, L, indicating early, mid¬ 
season, and late blooming varieties. Height of flower stem, orignator, and 
date of introduction are designated.
