Section IB White Plicatas 
The Plicatas, daintily frilled, dotted or stitched along the margin 
of the flower in blue, pink or tan on white, are a most bewitching and 
delightful group of Iris, having such alluring personalities that one 
has difficulty in resisting their appeal—you will love them—every one. 
Group 1—Plicatas with Blue Markings 
In our blue dotted types Theodolinda stands paramount. It is a 
perfectly hardy, easy-growing variety with very large blossoms and 
semi-rounded form. The stems are tall, stiff, and excellently branched. 
It is a pure satin white with a definite bordering of blue along both 
the standards and falls, a very worthy variety. San Francisco is an¬ 
other of the large plicata types with fine branching and good form. 
The large blossoms are edged lavender blue; it is not a dependable 
grower in every location in the U. S. Where it does well it is very 
fine. Alameda is a broad and rounded type of flower that gives the 
suggestion of fullness; it is heavily flushed and dotted blue lavender 
on white being more heavily marked than the two previous types 
which have merely a distinct margin. 
Heliane is unique having a precise margining of deepest blue- 
violet with a rich, deep, orange beard, giving a decidedly unusual but 
pleasing combination, unlike any other Iris in this group. Princess Osra 
has markings and dots of lightest pure blue; flowers are pleasingly oval.
