Food for thought from the April 1962 AIS Bulletin:
ALPHABETIZE YOUR IRIS!
There is really only one solution [to the problem of misplaced markers].
Alphabetize your iris garden! (Or your rose garden, or your peony place.)
Mother Nature daily proves that there are few color clashings in the wild
outdoor world -- almost anything can be planted beside anything else!
So begin with APRICOT GLORY and go right on through PRETTY QUADROON to TRULY
YOURS to ZULU WARRIOR! It's foolproof!
You'll never need a chart, and if you lose a marker, there'll never be any
wondering if you planted JANE PHILLIPS or HELEN MCGREGOR -- As long, that is, as
you know your ABCs.
