liant mingling of red, orange, and 
yellow. In terms of Ridgeway:

CLAUDE AUREAU, (Cayeux, 1928). 
Up to the present, this splendid Iris 
marks the greatest progress in the 
variegata group. The standards of 
excellent form are greenish golden- 
yellow, making the most pleasing con¬ 
trast with the wide long falls of 
intensely rich Bordeaux wine color 
with a large margin of bronzy-gold. 
A giant in every way. 3 6 in. A. of 
M., S.N.H.F., 1929 .$3.00

lovely Iris may be visualized as a 
White Aphrodite, one of its parents.

perfect finish, and the color is partic¬ 
ularly clear and dazzling. Although 
there are a few faint brownish purple 
reticulations at the haft, they and 
the beard are not conspicuous. 40
