The awards won in a flower show is not the only criterion of a good iris. 
To have garden value a variety must be hardy and vigorous. If you are seek- 
ing plants which will perform in your garden, try Just Kate, Lagniappe, Al- 
giers, Big Woods Purple, High Voltage, Gheens White, Louisiana Dawn, 
Crushed Grape, David Fisher, Cajun Joyeuse, Mac’s Grace, Peggy Mac, Haile 
Selassie, Louise Austin, vinicolor and Bayou Sunset. These have all done 
well with me under good garden culture.
