THE 100 BEST IRIS FOR 1953 
OUR NEW “ALL AMERICA” LIST 
INCE its inception, 1928, one of the 
leading features of our catalog has 
~ been our selection of “The 100 Best 
Iris” for the year. As we have mentioned 
Medium 
Pinks 
in seasons past this choice is the result of 
testing many hundreds of varieties in our 
garden, of visiting several of the largest 
Iris plantings in America and of an ex- 
tensive correspondence with leading fan- 
ciers both at home and abroad.
