Marvelous! I shot a little note off to Edinger, Keppel, and Mahan and 
received the following precis from the former in response. I think it is very 
enlightening.

"I have a copy of their 1956 catalog--Franklin Gardens--and it features eight 
dwarf introductions credited to Vivian plus a TB (actually BB) diploid 
credited to Hazel. The listing is extensive and eclectic: dwarfs(lots, both pumila & 
lutescens types), "bearded iris, miscellaneous," aril-median hybrids, MTBs 
(as Table Iris), Siberians, Spurias, Iris missouriensis selections, and a 
largely antique assortment of TB/IB/Rebloomers." 

Thank you everyone, for all your help and kind support. I feel I learned 
something new and interesting today, and I hope you feel the same.
