Author Description

Excerpt from Iris, a Select List of Best Varieties, 1924 It is a far cry from the old fashioned flags to the modern creations of scientific hybridization. With the better material for crossing, one may ex peet much better varieties in the future than any found in present collections. No educated man can view a display of the modern iris flowers without some appreciation for their beauty, while souls tuned to the music of flowers gaze upon them in warm admiration. Something of the popularity of the iris in this country may be appreciated when it is stated that the American Iris Society formed with 300 charter members, and now in its sixth year, has over 800 members.
