Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Catalog of the Newest, Rarest and Finest Iris, 1927: Accompanied With Some Information About Iris Which May Be of Interest to Iris Lovers Miss Grace Sturtevant is unquestionably our foremost -americ hybridizer. A very considerable number of her introductions at prese are listed in all foreign catalogues; this includes B. Y. Morrison, Avalc Afterglow, Dream, Mme. Cheri, Mother of Pearl, Nancy Orne, Que Caterina, Shekinah. She has a tremendous number of fine Iris to her credit, and all i can do is to call attention to those we consider the finest of them. Go Imperial, is the best yellow, with the sole exception of Am'br Mother of Pearl is known to everyone; Dream, a pink ranks very clo to the top; Tyrian is a wonderful deep claret color, with very velve falls and is one of Miss Sturtevant's masterpieces. We have not be fortunate enough to see all her varieties, but our favorite is Naon which is something like Glamour and quite as good, Rose Madder is beautiful and unusual Iris that does not seem to have its merits sui ciently well known to the public. We are offering this year her ne white called Snow White, which we have never seen, but those who ha say it is a magnificent Iris of beauty and distinction. We would say th the principal characteristics of Miss Sturtevant's Iris seedlings are tremendous variety as to color; clear, rich, beautiful colors and col combinations and style and poise of the flower on the stem. George Yeld of England raises thousands of seedlings, but intr duces very few, but the few he does introduce are of outstanding mer Neptune, 1916, is still a favorite flower and we do not think that it h been superseded. Asia, 1920, is so well known by every Iris lover th comment is unnecessary. Prospero, 1920, is still an outstanding variet Lord of June, 1911, is probably the most popular and best known Ii in the world today.
