I think when the AIS formed HIPS in the 1970's, the 30 year limit made more sense than it does now as it picked up the 1940's and earlier irises. Funny how the decades fly by!

keelybird57 - there are a number of places which carry Historics. As these are about all I buy, I can let you know which I would start with for good selection, price, and correctness. 100-99% correct: Superstition (will have the biggest selection of 1930's and earlier) - Nicholson's Woodland and Chuck Chapman (of Canada). The 90-99.% are: Winterberry, Argyle, Bluebird (though she may have more from the post-30 era).
Do you know which ones you are looking for? This picture has cv's from the 1910's in the foreground, and 1930's in the background. Happy hunting!
