IRIS 
Revised Iris Classification 
Just as this catalog was going to 
press, we received advance informa- 
tion from the American Iris Society 
that a Revised Classification of 
Bearded Iris has been adopted. We 
regret we could not incorporate all 
details of this revision in the ar- 
rangement of our catalog, however, 
in brief the revision is as follows: 
So ae 
SSS 
Subgenus Eupogon Iris (Dwarf, 
Intermediate, Tall) is the common 
bearded iris comprising the majority 
of existing gurden varieties. Distinc- 
tion between Dwarf, Intermediate, and 
Tall is_ no longer based on_ height 
alone but is based on true character- 
istics and chromosome count. Each 
section now has its own seasonal 
classification fcr plooming. 
re / 
Subgenus Pogon Iris (Oncocyelus, 
Regelia, Regeliccyelus) are made up 
from the Oncocyclus and  Regelia 
bearded iris with rhizomes mostly 
elongated and stoloniferous. 
Subgeneric Hybrid classes (Eupogo- 
cyclus, Eupogcregelia and Miscellan- 
eous Bearded) have been set up to 
take care of the many generic crosses 
coming from the hands of present day 
hybridizers. 
Watch our new 1949 catalog for 
groupings and arrangement along the 
above lines.
