In listing IRIS we have used the following order of description: NAME - (Originator and 
Introduction Date) - Season of bloom - Height - General Description ~ # position in 1949 
Symposium (or last year in which it gained Symposium rating) - price per rhizome. 
The inttials - — - EM =-MW =-ML-~= LC =.VU = ind Maaweacarty; Early Midseason; Midseason; Late 
Midseason: Late and Very Late, respectively. In this area, based on last season's bloom, 
which was about normal, Tall Bearded varieties started blooming about May 5, and the last 
bloom (on Sultan's Robe) opened June 2. We are making a careful check on the blooming time 
and average height in our own gardens, as very often these factors differ widely in various 
sections of the country, and we believe that you will be more interested in what a variety 
does here under average growing conditions than at its point of origin, where weather 
conditions may have been entirely different, and where it undoubtedly received special care 
from its originator.
