Yellow Iris 
Section 6X Yellow Blends (Cont.) 
Golden Light, a unique cinnamon blend with pleasing ruffling and 
frilling, has extra fine substance. Euphony, a heavily ruffled flower, is 
a blend of mustard and buff with a heliotrope blaze on the fall, and 
unusually sparkling in texture. Ophelia, with unique texture is a 
medley of pastel tones of tan, rose, and lilac with bronze-buff falls. 
Tuscany Gold: a smooth metallic old gold and tan. Falls are deeper 
with blue reliefs. 
Group 3—Apricot and Salmon Tones 
This is a grouping of Iris refreshingly distinct. It contains new 
arrivals in our Iris colorings. The tones being developed here being 
rich, warm, and mellow combinations giving them real personality and 
appeal. It looks as if the day for truly warm-toned pink salmon tones 
is really beginning. This class also promises pleasing developments in 
buff-apricots and soft orange tans. 
Mary Geddes, of excellent substance and fine branching, is a sturdy 
plant. The bloom has stiff stands with semi-flaring falls of excellent 
carriage and style. It is a rich warm shade of ochraceous salmon with 
a deeper red overlay on the falls. The color is bright and noteworthy. 
Vishnu, darker in tone than the above, is a pinkish cinnamon with 
deeper falls. Of good habit, its blooms are of fine substance and car¬ 
riage. King Midas, a glorious combination of golden buff and rosy 
red-brown with a deep orange beard, has a rounded flower, and is early 
blooming. 
Crown Jewel, is one of the darkest of this set. Its medium sized 
flowers are a rich burnt-orange, a most unique color and are veined 
more heavily on the fall. It is not tall nor large but possesses a charm¬ 
ing vividness of coloring. 
Teaches is a pleasing pastel of peach, apricot, and orange. Clara 
Noyes, of a deeper apricot and orange, is luscious in tone. This med¬ 
ley of orange-yellow and apricot with deeper veined red falls is most 
entrancing. Marquisette, a distinct pink tone, is most dainty and ap¬ 
pealing, its warm tone leaning toward true salmon.

form, and of fine texture and coloring. It is a bicolor of pale lilac 
and deeper lilac rose—one of the finest Iris aristocrats. Mary Senni: 
a most pleasing pink with blue influence; the color is an attractive 
combination and the effect most charming. Its excellent form and 
finely textured blooms present a most interesting medley of colors. 
Coral, earlier than the average bearded Iris, is a fresh, appealing bicolor. 
The stands are soft rosy-lavender and the falls deeper velvety rose- 
lavender. The substance and personality displayed in its carriage make 
it most distinctive. 
Edgewood is a bicolor of medium tone, a pink-lavender with large 
flower. Elizabeth Egelberg, a large-flowered variety of excellent 
growth habit, size, and branching, is a bicolor blend of pink and 
mauve with distinctly flaring falls. Romola : pinkest of the Dominions 
—lilac pink to red violet is large and has well placed blooms. Omaha, 
a vigorous grower and free flowering, makes a fine deep pink or light 
red mass in the garden. It is very even toned and warm. Magnifica 
is one of our first large or "gigantic” Iris, a lavender-pink bicolor of 
extra size. Folkwang: a very light pink, tinted white, with deeper 
rose falls. Sir Galahad: a crisp contrasting pink and rose bicolor.
