Recent [ris Introductions 
From R. L. Lyell 
We have been visiting Lyell’s garden at 
Auburn, Nebraska, annually for years 
and have been impressed with the fact 
that he has seedlings of much more than 
ordinary merit. The following are his 
own careful selections from _ several 
seedling crops. To show that they come 
by their excellence through inheritance 
we give the crosses. We believe that 
Iris lovers will recognize their value as 
soon as they are widely distributed.
