OUR STANDARD IRIS LIST 
The Best of the Old 
We do not list each season all of the varieties we grow. We are multiplying our stock of some of the newer kinds and also testing out these 
varieties to see how they thrive in our Minnesota climate. We add these new kinds to our list as our stock becomes sufficient and we find them 
desirable. The new ones we are adding to our collection this season are listed elsewhere.
