Section 4X Pink Blends 
Our pink blends have most pleasing combinations. With their 
delicacy of colorings and form they possess a sprightliness and a glow¬ 
ing warmth which makes them a constant delight in the garden. 
Noweta with its silky finish is a gorgeous tone of creamy pink 
enhanced by a soft silver sheen. The appealing pastel combination 
is daintiness itself making this Iris a veritable gem for coloring. 
Opaline, one of the tallest, is a charming rose-pink, strongly flushed 
yellow throughout the flower, perhaps one of our finest pink blends. 
Its graceful carriage contributes to its merit. A rosy blend of softest 
tone is the illustrious Talisman, a rich warm combination of yellow 
and rose pink with just an echo of blue on the falls. The bright, lus¬ 
cious tones of this Iris are most pleasant. In the softer types we have 
Hollywood, a charming, fresh silvery pink with a pleasing mellow 
cream light throughout the flower. Substance is fine; falls flaring. 
Midgard, that nicely ruffled, free-blooming yellow-pink blend of 
strong substance, possesses a fresh, delightful personality which makes 
it justly a very popular Iris. 
The above assemblage are all Iris of 'TOO Best” Calibre. We 
find it hard to deny the following two Iris a place in this assemblage. 
Golden Flare, a most distinct jaunty rose and gold blend with a most 
striking orange gold beard—very distinctive and most arresting, and 
Romance, a warm medium toned pink with a luminous golden heart, 
a fine, freshly colored flower. 
Lux is an appealing blend of old gold-apricot and raspberry red. 
Aubade is an elegant soft pastel blend of pink, grey, and soft yellow, 
a most delicate combination. Day Dream, a very tall well-branched 
blend of pink and light yellow tones is unique for its height and 
branching. Esterel, a rose pink blend with a mellow gold heart, is 
very free blooming. Frivolite: a warm tone with a suggestion of 
shrimp-pink throughout. From a distance it gives the pinkest effect 
in the garden. Allure possesses a pretty effect of canary yellow and 
soft pink. Elsinore, differently colored, is a soft primrose with stand¬ 
ards and falls margined pink, a distinct and most pleasing pastel.
