Would you believe that three men were responsible for more than one-third of 
the above list? Dr. R. E. Kleinsorge has 13, followed by Mr. David Hall with 11 
and Mr. Orville Fay with 10. Let’s give a salute to three great hybridizers. All 
members of the American Iris Society are eligible to vote for their favorite iris 
in this poll. This is one of the many advantages of being an A.I.S. member.
