A valuable 
recent annexation to this 
class 
is Burning Tiger is still another 
tone of copper 
red, nicely lacquered, 
Bronze, a luxurious bronze-red. Outstanding as well are the 
fiery bicolor Cheerio, the two giant seifs, Joycette and Ethel 
Peckham, the coppery Spokan, and gargantuan War Eagle. 
They are described in detail on page 4. 
Red, Radiance is a fine tone of warm red-brown. Jerry 
rivals Ethel Peckham in color, and, though slightly smaller, 
surpasses it in form; glowing old King Tut of bright chestnut 
red-brown still has a place. A small flower of a very pure 
red is Hernani. Ruffled Golden Helmet, with chestnut stand¬ 
ards and red velvet falls, is a brilliant, jaunty flower. Tiger- 
with rich mahogany falls. 
Two varieties now quite widely disseminated are that 
famous pair of reds: Dauntless, a self; and Indian Chief, a 
bicolor. Both are now within reach of everyone. We con¬ 
tinue to admire the brown tones and vivid beard of Grace 
Sturtevant. Sir Launcclot, too, is a jewel but not an iris 
of great height. In our test plot are Copper Lustre, a unique, 
subdued copper; Junaluska, a splendid regal sort with gold¬ 
en-brown infusions; Ella Winchester, a rich crimson; Neon, 
an old gold and coppery-red bicolor; and Pres. LeBrun, 
said to be a larger King Tut.

Though limited in number this section comprises several 
iris of imposing quality. One of the best is that regal giant: 
Depute Nomblot, a glowing rosy purple overlaid fawn gold 
with falls a rich shade of claret-crimson. Another is Bliss’s 
masterpiece, Mrs. Valery West, with bronzy standards and 
velvety brownish crimson fails. Excelling in lustrous sheen 
is the new JEB Stuart, a brown and brick-colored iris that 
carries itself proudly. Surprising in its warmth and glow 
is the tan and reddish-brown Shirvan, like an oriental rug 
for richness. Other fine sorts in this class are Vert Galant, 
a smooth brown, not without considerable haft venation; 
Marechal Ney, a red-brown bicolor of exceptionally vivid 
tone; the older Redwing, dusky maroon-brown, herald of a 
new race of reds; Rob Roy, a more vivid sort; Sachem and 
Bruno, tawny bronzes; Trail's End, orangy and brown; and 
Ukiah, a sombre dusky mahogany almost black in hue.
