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, etc., and as a result simplifies for every iris tover the selection of what 
he wants in whites, light blues, pinks, purples, yellows, etc. r oe 
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”). Of course soils and seasons account for considerable varia- 
tion in height. In the performance column, which represents an innovation of interest to landscapers, 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. 
A small square ( ()) indicates marked fragrance. (Practically all iris are somewhat fragrant. )

Two of the finest white iris, proven and tested, are queenly Matterhorn and broad, flaring Winter Carnival. Two newer additions 
that loom high are Sxow Carnival and Alba Superba. Though not huge Mary E. Nicholls is singular for its substance and gold washed 
throat. Larger though not so lavishly embossed we have Arctic. Frilled Snow Flurry is unusually charming and for the indispensibles 
pure white Swowking, gold throated Gudrun and hardy Vestal Beauty should be considered. For cool whites White City and And Thou 
are outstanding. Quite significant is the material in new white iris. We have several well recommended varieties on trial and are 
testing several as yet unnamed seedlings that are highly recommended.
