judges; Mary Swords Debaillon Award, the ‘‘Dykes Medal’’ for the Louisi- 
anas, to the variety receiving the majority of votes from the accredited judges 
—beginning this year the iris first must have received the Honorable Mention; 
and the President’s Cup, to the variety seen in a garden on the official tour 
receiving the popular vote of the members attending the annual meeting of 
the American Iris Society. 
Concerning testing: If you have Louisiana iris seedlings of worth that 
you desired tested, the Society for Louisiana Irises maintains a Test Garden. 
Plants may be sent to Prof. Ira S. Nelson, College of Agriculture, S. L. I. Sta- 
tion, Lafayette, Louisiana. If you would prefer having your children tested 
in a private garden, this garden is available. Last year some were sent to 
me, and anticipation is high concerning them. We need adventurous hybrid- 
izers, particularly in areas of doubtful hardiness to help create a greater va- 
riety of hardy iris. 
Visitors are always welcome in the garden during the blooming season, 
and if you come ‘‘out of season’’ you’ll probably be subjected to some slides. 
Through this price list or through a visit to the gardens, it is hoped that you 
will make the acquaintance of these beautiful irises. 
Sincerely yours,
