Winners of | 
Iris 
Dykes Memorial 

~ 
Due to the many inquiries we have had regarding the Iris Dykes Medal Winners of the past 
years, we offer the information given below assembled from bulletins of the American Iris 
Society. ‘ 
All varieties, except one (Margot Holmes—not hardy with us) are now growing in our 
gardens, : 
The Dykes Memorial Medal, instituted in 1926 to commemorate the work of the late W. R. 
Dykes in ‘advancing appreciation of the iris,” has been awarded to outstanding varieties in 
England, France, and America. The method of choosing a Dykes Medal Winner in England is 
quite different from the system followed by the American Iris Society for the Americans award. 
In England the medal is awarded to a new seedling, while here it is chosen from Award of 
Merit winners of a three-year period. The following awards have been made to late (where ne 
variety is listed, no award has been made in that year): :
