Section 5 A "Red” and Copper Tones 
Here we have assembled all Iris which in their general coloring 
lean toward "Red.” We use quotations when we say red because we 
only have approaches to true red in Iris. To some people red means 
scarlet; others visualize other variations. It can be truthfully said 
that our Iris are coming closer and closer to red each year. 
In the "Red” class we divide the groups into three subsections, 
the first and most red looking class contains those types of red with 
influences of brown or maroon in their makeup. The next class 
includes those approaches to red from the purple side, some coming 
relatively close to true red. The final grouping comprises the coppery 
tones or chestnut types of reds. 
Group 1—Warm “Red” Tones 
One of our finest new Iris is Burning Bronze , a luxuriously colored 
bronze-red. Rich and brilliant, its color glows warmly. It has nicely 
addressed stands, pleasing semi-flaring falls; flowers extra weather 
resistant and stems of fine habit contribute to its general excellence. 
Bright and sparkling is Cheerio , a bicolor of bright red tones—rich, 
iridiscent, velvety in the falls and with a glowing beard. In brilliance 
and color this new red is most striking. Ethel Beckham shares with 
Cheerio the distinction of being one of our reddest Iris. It is a bicolor 
in effect, the color being quite red. The stands are more purple while 
the falls have a coppery note; stem is of medium height.
