A glance at the price column in this color-section will disclose that red irises are on the average our most expensive sorts. The 
reason is of course obvious: until a few years ago "red” iris were unheard of. They do not exist in nature and it was only after ex¬ 
tensive work by many hybridizers over a period of years that reds began to appear. Even today stocks of these sorts are so limited 
(because of their newness) that if we except a couple of the older ones there can scarcely be said to be more than an acre or two of red 
iris in existence today the world over. So if you get a "red" iris for your garden you are securing something that is still quite rare. 
Actually there are no spectrum reds yet among irises. The crimson tones while generally wonderfully rich and velvety lean either 
toward a wine color or toward a rich coppery tone. It is on this basis that we have made our color division above. 
Among the reds with a slight purple influence Joycette is one of the most imposing. It is a deep-toned near-crimson of heavy sub¬ 
stance and majestic bearing. Derived from it is the great Red Douglas which we feel may prove a leader of this color section. Also 
excellent are Ethel Peckham, and that smooth mahogany-crimson, Ella Winchester. Dauntless, of course, remains a standard sort with 
the bicolor Indian Chief a close rival in popularity. Especially showy in the clump are ideally branched Red Radiance and clean-cut, 
floriferous Jerry. One of the reddest of the entire group is Marco Polo. 
Particularly rich in effect are the reds with copper influence. Bright Cheerio, the more blended Junaluska, and deeper Burning Bronze 
are all mighty fine iris. Coppery Spokan, of unusual size and smoothness of texture, sparkling Golden Helmet, and chestnut-red Sir Laun- 
celot are among the brightest spots in the iris garden.

In the festive variegata group King Juba is one of the finest of the more moderately prices sorts. For depth of coloring El Tovar, 
old gold and lustrous black-maroon, is the unquestioned leader. At the other extreme for coloring stand light-toned Cameliard and 
Henri Riviere, best of the pastel sorts. Of intermediate depth is Vision, red and gold. Most novel is Decennial, the only variegata with 
blue-purple falls (all other iris in this section lean toward the red). All the yellow bicolors are of exceptionally rugged constitution.
