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 eae picture of each color group, facilitates 
comparisons as to height, blooming season, habits, price, etc., and as a result simplifies for every iris lover the selection of what HE 
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 letter ‘“E’’ indi- 
cates early blooming; ‘‘M’’, midseason; ‘‘ML’’, midseason-late; ‘‘L’’, late and ‘‘VL’’, very late. In the ‘‘height’’ column, ‘‘T’’ indicates 
tall varieties (36” or over); ‘‘M’’, medium (30” to 36”); ‘‘L’’, low (under 30”). Of course soils and seasons account for considerable 
variation in height. In the performance column, we have indicated a composite of the vigor and hardiness of a variety which in turn 
influences floriferousness. Thus, “‘AA’', denotes an extra good performer; ‘‘A’’, good performer; ‘‘B’’, medium performer; “‘C’’, a 
variety subject to tenderness.

Of the assortment of new fledged whites Snow Carnival is the standout both in beauty and performance. Two other fine new whites 
are tall Alba Superba and Sharkskin of trim finish. Texture and gardenia-like finish with gold characterize Snow Velvet. Of this type 
are Mary E. Nicholls and Arctic, fine growers and most satisfactory. With stalwart growth habits full formed Winter Carnival is very 
well liked. For a different value in whites serene and queenly Matterhorn is well worthwhile. For a true white-white Priscilla is a 
jewel. Of the blue influenced whites my preference is in the order named: White Wedgewood, White City and And Thou. Good older whites 
are White Goddess or the twin whites Snowking and Gudrun which are wonderful plants belieing their modest monetary price.
