Foreign irises should be accompanied with a Quarantine Certificate. Each plant should be identified by labeling with a code in letters and figures. Plants should be accompanied with a sealed envelope giving the same codes on the outside and with variety names or seedling numbers, and the submission codes and full descriptions of irises with the submitter's signature and address inside. A judging will be held in the third year after planting.
