maybe they would scan it and post?



If you are referring tho the 1931 Discard List, that was me. Were you thinking of images of the pages or a text file of the iris names?

One of the points of the Black List was, many iris are
introduced, that are not really different enough to
warrant introduction -- still a problem today.  Also,
in AIS history, this was a time when they were just
organizing/listing all the extant iris, and figuring
out that many had been going by several names.  So it
was kind of a "listy" time.

p.s. Save your iris catalogs!  70 years from now,
then-current Historic Iris Preservation Society
members will be very happy to read them!
