Deep Toned Bronzed Red Purples 
Section 2C (Cont.) 
New and Trial Varieties 
Included in this particular color class are a group of varieties which 
are being studied under trial here. Cheerio is one of the newest of our 
introductions, a glowing rich red which already making a notable repu¬ 
tation for itself. Directeur Pinelle seems very promising, a very large 
dark red bronzed purple; a fitting climax to the series of dark blends 
that M. Cayeux has been giving us; will undoubtedly rate very high. 
Jerry is a very crisp looking newcomer. Bronze Beacon comes in the 
class of our fine, reliable Glowing Embers. Spokan I want to see once 
more as it failed to bloom last year. Its color as I first saw it was a 
fine coppvery brown blend or a vastly improved, browner King Tut. 
The various California productions have yet to bloom. Red Flare did 
bloom but if that blooming was characteristic it is hopelessly outclassed 
by other reds. We hope to make a more complete report on these next 
year. 
Medium Pink Tones 
Section 2B 
Continued from page 23. 
Hypnus, a fine development of Abenda’s color has a blue flush in the 
center of the fall. Newtonia is a pale blend of amber buff and mauve 
on very fine, well branched stems. Rose Marie, a rounded flower with 
striking flaring falls, has a peculiar suffusion of pink and mauve giv¬ 
ing it a decidedly odd color effect. Grisette, a silky mauve and tan 
cinnamon blend, is warmer, and a better Quaker Lady type. 
New and Trial Varieties 
Coralie we want to see blooming here; its chief claim is a distinct 
color, the falls being especially notable. The flower is of good sub¬ 
stance and balance; further observation will be noted after the next 
blooming. Elegante is a blended light pink lavender bi-color. 
Medium Blue Toned Iris

Group 5—New^ and Trial Varieties 
Of the varieties we have on test Blue Monarch looks as if it would 
rate very high, a frosty blue with well branched stem and good plant 
habit. Beotie, a new production should be very interesting; it has a 
soft pastel flax blue tone and suffused with metallic blue lavender. 
Blue Gown is a bit deeper with a bright golden beard. Missouri, a 
pleasing medium blue with a deeper blue flushed fall, with very fine 
substance and of good plant habit. Luziana, a clear toned blue, un¬ 
bloomed here as yet.
