Explanation of Classification System 
On the following pages we have assembled our iris offerings grouped as to color, with complete data about each variety. We feel 
that such a comprehensive presentation of each color section, affording as it does a complete picture of each color group, facilitates 
comparisons as to height, blooming season, habits, price, tenderness, etc., and as a result simplifies for every iris lover the selection 
of what 4e wants in whites, light blues, pinks, purples, yellows, etc. 
The following explanation covers the symbols used in these tables. Thus, under the column labelled “season” the letters Vine 
indicate very early blooming; ‘‘E”’, early; ‘‘M’’, midseason; ‘‘ML’’, midseason-late; and “VL very late. In the “‘height column, 
““T’’, indicates tall varieties (36” or over); ‘‘M’’, medium (30” to 36”); ““L’’, low-growing (under 30 inches). Of course soils and 
seasons account for considerable variation in height. In the performance column, which represents an innovation of interest to land- 
scapers, we have indicated the blooming habits of each variety. Thus, ‘‘AA’’, denotes very prolific blooming; “A’’, good blooming; 
““B”, average bloom; ‘'C’’, moderate to shy bloom. Very new iris are usually given a tentative rating of ‘‘B’’, which will often be 
raised upon further trial. The symbol ‘‘}’’ indicates tenderness in northern latitudes; ‘‘{{’’, marked tenderness. A small square ( oO) 
indicates marked fragrance. (Practically all iris are somewhat fragrant. )

The outstanding immaculate white is undoubtedly Matterhorn, regally pure. With a rich gold throat and not quite as large as av- 
erage Mary E. Nicholls is singular in feminine grace and finish. Arctic, a larger iris, is a prolific bloomer with a profusely branched stem. 
Frilly and fluted blue-white Snow Flurry is novel and unique in both color and flower form with very tall stems. 
Two indispensable whites worthy of a place in every garden are broad-petalled Sxowking and more crinkly petalled White Goddess. 
For size and canna-like profusion of bloom Gudrun is a splendid garden variety; not tall it is particularly adapted to foreground plant- 
ings. Two varieties slightly on the tender side adapted to milder climates are Mount Cloud and imposing, tall, trim Mount Washington. 
Individual spikes are classics to behold. Ideal for massing and rugged hardiness tall Crystal Beauty fills every qualification. The most 
striking flaring white is dramatic Winter Carnival, glistening snow white. From England we are testing pearl white White City, winner 
of the 1940 Dykes Medal over there. Stella Polaris completes our roster of new varieties on test.
