Key to Groups for Sec. 4C 
Group 1 Blue Types Group 2 Red Toned Types 
Here in our white Amoenos, the true bi-colors (i. e. having two 
distinct colors, not two shades of the same color as the term bi-color 
is applied to Iris) novelties are few and far between. Evidently 
they are hard to get but some breeder must see the gap that can be 
filled here. Think of many new combinations that can be produced 
in time such as, Dominion Class, rich bronzes, tones of the pink and 
red series, the yellow series, to say nothing about their possibilities! 
Group 1—Blue Types 
In this class the color of the stands is usually pure white with 
blue colored falls in different tone depths. In one or two varieties 
the stands are slightly flushed another color, but they still present 
the effect that other members of this group do. Dorothy Deitz 
Rheintochter are two top notchers for this group and they are cer¬ 
tainly running a "neck to neck” race for first honors. The former 
has a slightly more rounded flower, the latter is a more languid type 
on a taller stem. Dorothy Deitz has a solid colored fall while Rhein¬ 
tochter has a distinctive margin. Mildred Fresby is another very good 
variety. The stands are slightly flushed yellow and the falls are a 
good solid rose purple of medium height. B. Y. Morrison has stands 
which are lavender flushed and deep rich falls edged the same light 
tint as the stands. Rhein Nixe is one of the few old Iris still holding 
its own. A very good garden clump. Daphne and Gen. McPherson 
both have cold, clear white stands. The former has lighter, bluer 
falls; the latter deeper falls. Tristram comes near a black and white 
Iris so dark are the falls compared to the white stands. Mary Wil¬ 
liamson is a character for garden effect. 
Group 2—Red Toned Types 
Our red toned group. Rene Cayeux one of the largest, a clear 
contrast, rosy red purple to white—really an exceptional Iris. Folk- 
wang, very light pink to white stands, falls rich rose; makes an es¬ 
pecially fine garden picture. Dahlia with stands beautifully flesh 
tinted, falls soft cherry red in effect. Salonique a very robust grower, 
free flowering, a bit redder than Mildred Presby. Iduna tinted with 
yellow suffusion stands pearly white to yellow base, falls are a lumin¬ 
ous bluish violet clearly margined color of the stands, fine oval 
stands, golden heart—a beauty. Gretchen, rather a tall pink-toned 
bi-color. The falls are heavily veined, but I find myself liking its 
color considerably.
