Excerpt from A Catalog of the Newest, Rarest and Finest Iris, 1931: Accompanied With Some Information About Iris Which May Be of Interest to Iris Lovers We see hybridizers naming and introducing from 20 to 50 or more seedlings in a season. Anyone familiar with iris knows that no single hybridizer can, outside of miracles, have 50 new iris in one year worth placing on the market. The new introductions in this catalog have been selected with a knowledge of the best varieties already in commerce and we have no hesitation in saying that each is distinct and is not a mere duplicate or slight improvement on some other existing variety.
