AN IRIS LOVER’S CATALOG 
31 
PLICATAS Continued 
In a color class such as this where the colorings are dainty and exotic we limit our selections to those varieties which are clearly 
distinctive types. Los Angeles and San Francisco still continue to be among the best and most popular, the former delicately stitched 
with blue markings, the latter mote copiously etched. The misty lavender tracings of Seduction, the airy pink markings of Tarantella, 
and the beautiful rosy tracings of Mme. Louis Aureau make each a favorite in their own right. Two of the largest varieties are Theo- 
dolinda and Wasatch. The new yellow plicatas represent a startling new color group. If you haven’t seen these new color creations there 
is a pleasant surprise awaiting you. Etched, dotted and marked on tones of yellow, they are indeed most captivating. Large, tan and 
yellow Siegfried, rose-marked Tiffany, brilliant chestnut-on-yellow Orlojf are each distinct and good.

The great appeal of blue flowers is reflected by the tremendous popularity of blue iris. Nature has been especially bountiful to the 
iris family in a color comparatively scarce in other flowers. Among our recommendations are smoothly finished Exclusive, delicate 
Anitra, and exquisite Shining Waters. Still among the best are stalwart Sensation, prolific Blue Monarch and the two giants, El Capitan 
and Paulette. Purest blue of all is lovely, azure Aline.
