Author Description

Excerpt from Rare Iris, 1924 Am in the market to buy complete stock of new seedlings or excess stock of the rarer ones now in commerce. Have been offered many inferior ones dliring 1923, and I believe the American Iris Society should afford its members a chance to have their seedlings tested by planting them in the Bronx trial gardens (or some other garden recognized by the society as an A. I. 8. Garden), the varieties to be fully and accurately described promptly after first bloom ing, so that more impartial data would be available. In order to coax introducers to place their plants in the garden for trial with others no mention should be made in any A. I. 5. Literature, bulletins, show reports, etc., (except in name registration list when a plant has been sent to the test garden) until such plant has bloomed and been described.
