Excerpt from The Fruiting of the Blue Flag (Iris Versicolor L.) AT the time of the adjournment of my college classes last June, I spent a few hours afield, watching the blue ags and their insect visitors, at first solely for the pleasant recreation that such study affords. But I soon made a few enticing little discoveries which set me to work in earnest.
