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. y i uae 
The following explanation covers the symbols used in these tables. Thus, under the column labelled “‘season’’ the letters “VE 
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 ‘‘t’’ indicates tenderness in northern latitudes; ‘‘{{’’, marked tenderness. A small square ( O) 
indicates marked fragrance. (Practically all iris are somewhat fragrant.)

This past season the two supreme whites in our garden were queenly, immaculate Matterhorn and perfect Winter Carnival, an iris you 
will not forget. Snowking, regal looking, is an indispensable. Among the most beautiful newcomers are the gold throated whites 
as Mary E. Nicholls singular in feminie grace and beauty and prolific, branched Arctic. 
Unusually charming is a ruffled petal, particularly in a white flower. We have be-crinkled White Goddess and frilly, larger Snow 
Flurry. Two newcomers of this type are flaring Snow Carnival and diminutive Priscilla. An iris that has the happy faculty of being a 
profuse bloomer and splendid as a specimen is ever reliable Gudrun. Mount Washington would rate in our 100 Best 134 were hardy. For 
all-purpose whites, or whites for landscaping we have pure white, tall Crystal Beauty, lamp-like, golden throated Bridal Veil, cooly 
tinted with haze blue Mountain Snow. Improvement in new whites is surging along as a glance at the varieties we are testing in the 
trial section shows.
