I just received my show schedule for our Prairie Iris Society Show.
Under rule #1 in RULES FOR THE HORTICULTURE DIVISION it states that
since this is a cultivar show..."all varieties entered except for
seedlings still under number must be correctly named and must have been
registered and introduced to commerce in accordance with the rules of
the American Iris Society. Entries not complying with these
requirements will be removed from competition."
