I have both those books as well. Additionally I have two small books. "Irises",
The Royal Horticultural Society . A Wisley Handbook by Sidney Linnegar & Jennifer
Hewitt. Although this is a small book it has some very nice pictures in it. The
second small book is "Irises - A Guide to Cultivation" by Susan Berry. The only
other books I have are the 1988 Cumulative Checklist of Reblooming Iris, the Aril
Society International Official Checklist 1996 edition and Median Bearded Irises
Introduction and Varietal Listing through 1990. Although I read everything
(including the back of cereal boxes) I have a hard time finding iris books.
I haunt the local bookstores but they don't have much. Anybody got a good
source?
