Chapter XIII A Few Varieties >HE FOLLOWING are only a very few of the many hundreds of varieties of Tall Bearded Iris now in commerce—just enough to indicate the wide range of colors of the early and late moderately priced varieties. They are numbered in the approximate order of their blooming—approxi- mate only, for situation, soil and season are greatly modifying factors—and those beginning about the same time to bloom are given the same number. For the rating of each, and, also of many other varieties (many of them later introductions and higher priced), see under Symposium, Chapter XIV. In the description the figures indicate in inches the height of the flower-stalk. Height varies more or less with locality and cultivation, but the relative heights of the different varieties in the same locality and under similiar conditions do not usually vary to any very great extent. "S" refers to the three standards or upright segments, and "F" to the three falls or droop- ing segments. The descriptions of the flowers are necessarily only general, for there is hardly any other flower as difficult as the Iris, "The Rainbow Flower", to either describe in words or represent in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Stager, Walter.
