Snowy white throughout save for a slight stitching of 
cerulean at the haft and at the base of the standards and a 
beard of soft yellow-gold, Los Angeles is an exquisitely 
sculptured beauty with the finest satin sheen — tall, vig¬ 
orous, well-branched — a classic iris that is a cornerstone 
of any collection worthy of the name. (See illustration on 
page 9). Fully as large, and with both standards and falls 
edged lavender-blue, is the sister plicata San Francisco. 
Another of the giant plicatas is Theodolinda, a perfectly 
hardy type of ideal height and branching. Its pure satiny 
white blooms with a bordering and dotting of freshest light 
blue look as cool and refreshing as the reflections of clouds 
in a sky-blue lake. 
Differently colored, with deeper and more profuse vena¬ 
tions of magenta-violet on a background of ivory-white is 
Sacramento. Alameda is another profusely-marked plicata 
of lavender tone, with broadly rounded blooms. Hardy, 
early Electra is a large-flowered, blue-margined type with 
a golden-brown haft. For a uniquely colored gem, Heliane, 
stitched blue-violet with a rich orange beard, is most dis¬ 
tinct. Princess Osra with stipplings and tiny polka- 
dottings of freshest pale blue is a real novelty. True Charm 
is tall-growing with edges faintly etched lavender-blue. 
Other interesting plicatas are Beau Ideal, sharply marked 
petunia violet, Castor with veins of garnet-brown, Ruth 
Pfeiffer and True Delight with delicate pink stitchings. A 
ground color of soft fawn-apricot with deeper sandings, 
dottings, and pepperings gives one an idea of the unique 
coloring of ruffled King Karl. Cydalise is an approach to 
a yellow ground plicata with maroon stipples. 
On page 27 we have pictured Tarantella. This is clearly 
the finest pink plicata, being a decided improvement over 
the older varieties of this type. . . . We are testing out 
two new large-flowered plicatas: Wasatch, a variety with 
blue markings and unusually large blooms; Seduction, dain¬ 
tily etched lavender.

In the small but distinctive group of white or near-white 
bi-colors, Shah Jehan, with its rich multicolored falls reigns 
supreme. For a complete description of this brilliant ac¬ 
quisition to the iris world, turn to page 5. Although, like 
Shah Jehan, not strictly an amoena, we place Marquita in 
this class also, since it resembles the amoenas more than it 
does the variegatas. Its large, luminous, broadly-rounded 
standards of ivory-cream with rose-veined falls make it a 
most captivating iris. Dorothy Dietz, with tinted standards 
and deep pansy violet falls of rounded form, is another fine 
iris in this color group. 
For a clear white and amethyst-blue we have tall Can- 
tabile. Mildred Presby — creamy-white with solid rose- 
purple falls — is popular. Rene Cayeux is a pink and rose- 
purple bicolor unique in this class. Rheintochter is a fine, 
tall subject. We await the blooming of At Dawning, the 
lovely new bicolor in white and arbutus-pink.
