About the Book

Excerpt from New, Rare and Good Old Irises, 1928

I have given the descriptions of varieties as I have seen them grow in my own garden over a period of years or since their introduction. The color descriptions are based on Ridgeway's Color Standards, in so far as practicable, together with the general color effect in most cases, for ease of interpretation. The height in inches and season of bloom from very early (v. E.) to very late which follow my own ratings, are based on an average of seasons, locations, and soil types.

The name of the introducer with date of introduction, and awards at national or similar exhibitions are given following the name of the variety. The rating of the Symposium Committee of the American Iris Society is the figures which immediately follows the name of the variety. Since many varieties have not been rated, I am giving in addition my personal comparative estimation of the different varieties, both for exhibition (e.) and landscape or garden (g.) uses. These ratings are based upon experience of growing the different varieties side by side and a study of the different factors, including growth, effectiveness, poise, height, color, form, size, substance, and distinctive qualities, all of which go to make up a perfect iris for both exhibition and garden purposes. The ratings on the more recent introductions are subject to revision as further experience may bring out their fa'ults, if any, or further demonstrate their superior qualities. I have hesitated to publish these ratings because personal likes and dislikes do enter into such considerations. I have endeavored, however, to deal frankly and accurately with the diflerent varieties and having been urged to publish them hope the suggestions may be helpful, especially to those who may be interested in the new and untried introductions. The reader may ask why an old iris such as Iris King has been placed with the best and most outstanding varieties, while such fine varieties as Hyperion with a higher rating are excluded. The reason is that while Hyperion is a finer individual iris than Iris King in size, form, and height, there are some even better varieties of very similar coloring, while Iris King is still one of the best in its particular color and is, therefore, given the preference in this list. Undoubtedly, some of the newer varieties may demonstrate their superior qualities to such an extent that they may displace some that now seem to be among the best. I welcome suggestions and criticism on these points based upon the experience of others in different locations.
