Section 6X Yellow Blends 
The "blends” are that class of Iris which are composed of a med¬ 
ley of two or more colors in combination. The various ways in which 
these colors are combined gives us some of our most entrancing effects. 
Our consciousness of the subtle charm and daintiness of these pastel- 
colored types increases as we become better acquainted with them. 
Group 1—Buff 
Very unique in its smooth-surfaced texture is Evolution, an ex¬ 
tra fine blend of soft bronze-buff with a blaze of blue in the center 
of the falls. The color being intensified in the falls makes it an ad¬ 
mixture of remarkable beauty. Z aharoon, a subdued soft buff bronze 
with a pinkish cast, has tall stems, but the individual blooms are of 
poor size in relation to plant habit. Endymion, a deep cream and lav¬ 
ender fawn is of a much intensified Afterglow color. Vesper Gold is a 
more orangy cream and fawn than the preceding. 
Group 2—Tan, Brown and Gold Tan 
Our most startling Iris here is Tint O’Tan with large flowers of 
excellent substance and fine form, with semi-flaring falls. In coloring 
it is a translucent golden-tan self, with a warmth and brilliancy often 
lacking in others of this group. In addition to its translucent tones 
of bright gold, the elongated and serrated crests contribute an original 
style. Jean Cayeux, difficult to describe, is a distinctly biscuit-colored 
tan or havana-brown self, with medium size flowers and subdued col¬ 
oring. Gilead is of the same general coloring but with more pink in¬ 
fluence, its form being of the languid type, with hanging falls.
