White Iris 
Section 4B Plicatas and Frilled Varieties 
such a large flower, Kheinfeh is a crisp, creamy plicata with delicate 
lavender edging. Bhie Chintz is a tone deeper than the well known 
True Charm. Heliane, with very deep edging, almost a solid border¬ 
ing is quite novel and heavily marked; the flower is a bit too elongated 
but in spite of this is most distinctive. 
Group 2—Pink and Red Toned 
Our pink and red toned plicatas are grouped here. We start 
with the light pink plicatas and work to the deepest red tones. True 
Delight, a pink edging and white combination, is very refreshing and 
pleasing. K. E. Lees and Ruth Pfeiffer, both creamy whites with a 
pink edging, very excellent quality. We think the latter is the better 
of the two. 
Two new additions to this class are Anndelia and Jadu, very soft 
blendings, the colors are hardly stippled—almost a light flush run¬ 
ning through the flowers, with a faint edging. They are charming. 
The former is a bit more salmon toned pink, while the latter has a 
bit more blue in its pigmentation. Mrs. A. S. Hoyt is a very dis¬ 
tinct, pure white dotted and veined in a pure tone of pink. La Mkr- 
ka, the darkest of this set, has broad form heavily flushed and stip¬ 
pled rich rose on white. Might be called a pink edition on the Sass 
type of plicatas. Pink }adu, a pink plicata of medium height; with 
stands almost completely veined and falls having a very fine definite 
margin with a brown haft. Pink Lass, well rounded, medium sized, a 
pretty pinkish violet plicata, a chaste white beard, is soft and refined. 
Wm. Mohr is a distinct novelty, A pink lilac with the most fasci¬ 
nating veins and dots, darker in color. Its size is imbelievable; the 
whole Iris speaks forth in elegant tones, a delightful and truly dif¬ 
ferent Iris. 
The deeper editions are very stunning. Some of this group go 
into the deep red to bronze etchings. Fedalma our Super Iris, is 
heavily margined deep red with a brown tint, large flowers of very 
good substance, fine branching and height; a newcomer that is very 
good. Sacramento is a tone lighter than the above—not quite as 
large a flower, very fine substance on tall stems with a complete 
veining in the flower. Very fine in itself. Castor is the most bronzed 
plicata, very heavily margined. In fact there is only a small area of 
white in the center of the fall; a very interesting plicata, rich and 
colorful. Beau Ideal with its trim and precise edging of Petunia violet 
on pure white, is exquisite. 
Group 3—Sanded and Blended Plicatas 
Here we have a few odd varieties. They are plicatas that show 
the influence of blending of yellow. Cydalise is called a yellow pli¬ 
cata with red stitching. Its stands are pure yellow and the falls are 
veined along the edge with red brown. It looks more like a Variagata 
with an inhibiting factor to the veining in the middle of the fall, 
and so it is creamy to yellow there, an oddity. Nicholas Poussin 
seemed to be a very pleasing variety; fine height, substance and car¬ 
riage. It can be visualized as a much improved Jean Chevereau to 
distinguish it from the Sass type of blended plicata. Loudoun is one 
of the best here, a taller edition of the Sass type, displaces Jubilee. 
King Karl and Jubilee represent the dotted, sanded, peppered and flush¬ 
ed combination: they both have the suggestion of luscioxis peaches 
in their colorings. King Karl is entirely peppered, while Jubilee has 
just an edging. Lona carries pure peach colored stands and lightly
