The Iris Societies of America, England and France each year confer awards to 
outstanding irises. These awards are known as Honorable Mention, Award of Merit, 
and the Dykes Medal, indicated herein by H. M., A. M., and Dykes. The Dykes Medal 
may be awarded annually to only one iris each in England, France and America, and 
is the highest honor an iris can receive. It is never given to an unworthy iris. 
WITH VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS, ALL IRISES SHIPPED WILL BE FROM 
FIELD GROWN, ONE- AND TWO-YEAR TRANSPLANTED STOCK.
