KEY TO UNDERSTANDING THIS CATALOG 
E., M., L.: Season of bloom; Early, Midseason, Late. 
Varieties marked with "*” are descended from Regelia or Oncocyculs iris. 
Hybrid: Cross of two distinct species. 
C.O.C.: Certificate of Commendation—given by judges at A.I.S. shows. 
H.C.: Highly Commended Award given by A.LS. judges to iris (growing in gardens) not yet introduced. 
H.M.: Honorable Mention. The first “counting’’ award an iris may receive on its climb to higher 
awards. 
A.M.: Award of Merit may be given to only eight Tall Bearded and two “other than Tall Bearded” 
each year by A.I.S. judges. One year must elapse after the H.M. award before an A.M. may 
be won. 
Dykes Medal: Memorial medal given by the English Iris Society in memory of W. R. Dykes who 
contributed, in hybridizing and writings, in monumental ways, to increase interest in iris. At 
present the Dykes Memorial Medal is given (or offered) in U.S.A., England and France, although 
no medals have been awarded in France for several years. This is the highest award any 
iris may achieve. . 
COLORS 
AMOENA: Iris having white standards and darker colored falls—usually in shades of lavender 
or purple, although recently have come some yellow and white amoenas. 
NEGLECTA: Bi-colored blue or purple with the standards very much lighter colored than the falls. 
(This is closely related to Amoena coloring, but the contrast isn't so great.) 
PLICATA: Varieties having a distinct ‘'stitching’’ or bordered edge on either stcndards or falls, 
or both, although recently have come varieties often referred to as ‘fancies’ that are dotted, 
brushed or almost completely covered with color other than the ground color. We have yellow- 
ground plicatas or white-ground plicatas with markings in blue, purple, brown, red, etc. 
BLENDS: Colors containing a lot of yellow blended with any number of other colors, reds, coppers, 
browns, pinks, lavenders, blues, etc. 
VARIEGATAS: Yellow standards (or blended tan or brown) with very dark brown, purple or 
red falls. 
OTHER COLORS: Other colors are self explanatory, although bi-colors are those containing essen- 
tially the same color with either standards or falls a dark color. (Tints or shades darker.) 
PARENTAGES 
In listing the parents the Pod parent is listed first followed by an ew indicating the flower was
