Section 1C White Bi-Colors 
In the amoenas, as these true two-colored Iris are also called, we 
present our last division of whites. Their color contrasts are sharp 
and distinct. Progress by breeders in developing improvements in this 
type of Iris has been slow but with the appearance of that very fine 
new sort, Shah Jehan, we see the possibilities latent in this class. The 
future looks most interesting and we believe will bring forth many 
new and finer varieties. 
Group 1—Blue Types 
The new variety Shah Jehan stands out as a milestone in the prog¬ 
ress of this section. Its form is very distinctive with firmly addressed 
stands, and pleasantly elongated but rounded falls. The stands are 
white, faintly flushed lavender with a touch of yellow at the claw; 
the falls unveined and solidly colored, are a rich, deep lustrous prune 
or rich solid rose magenta. A warm mellow broad haft and yellow 
beard finish this charming subject. Dorothy Dietz with slightly 
flushed standards, deep pansy violet falls and rounded form is a very 
fine amoena. Mildred Preshy : creamy white standards with good solid 
rose-purple falls is medium in height and size. 
Cantabile: a clear, pure white with amethyst-violet falls. Rhein¬ 
tochter has soft, subdued stands with deep falls margined lighter. 
Tristram is as near white and black as we have in an Iris—a short 
grower, but a unique color gem. Mary Williamson has airily-poised 
blooms with horizontal falls, white and blue—distinctive. Gen. 
McPherson and Daphne: white with heavy blue falls; the former has 
darker falls and sharper contrast. B. Y. Morrison: lavender to white 
stands, velvety purple falls bordered lavender. 
Group 2—Red-Toned Types 
In these types we have Rene Cayeux, large in size, a rosy red-purple 
with faint pink-tinted stands—a clear contrast of unusual charm. 
Gretchen, a tall white and rose-pink bicolor. In this class it is the only 
Iris with tall stems. Folkwang: a light pink, tinted white, with falls 
a rosy lavender. Dalila: a pleasing amoena with soft white stands and 
red-toned falls. Iduna has pearly white stands with garnet-red and 
deeper bluish violet falls—a free growing, pleasing type. Saloniquc is 
a more ruddy-colored type of Mildred Presby habit and stature.
