The varieties that are enclosed in a black border are 
all winners of the Dykes Memorial Medal. This medal 
can be awarded to ONLY ONE IRIS EACH YEAR in 
America. The care with which it is awarded gives assur- 
ance that the winner of this medal is the outstanding 
Iris of the year. The American Iris Society has a jury of 
Iris connoisseurs, located all over the United States, to 
judge, evaluate, rate and criticize each new arrival. 
This jury of accredited judges consists of about 150 
members. Any Iris that runs the gauntlet of this group 
of judges and is awarded the Dykes Medal is in a class 
which leaves no room for argument as to its superior 
quality. A similar Award is made annually in England 
and France with equal care, the Dykes Medal being an 
Award of the Iris Society of England. 

Tall Bearded Iris may be planted any time when the ground 
is not frozen, the months of August and September being best. 
They are hardy anywhere. CULTURAL DIRECTIONS

preciate their beauty. They all bloomed and there were all colors
