The red class has been the subject of intense effort on the part of iris hybridizers in recent years and great strides have been made 
in the production of these magnificently colored iris. Carrying a brilliance and sparkle they run a gamut of hues to delight the most 
rabid color seeker. 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. 
Standing out like beacon lights we have a quartet of new reds which tower above their brothers and are the answer to the ques¬ 
tion of a few years back, “Will we get redder iris?” Here is the answer. One of the finest reds introduced is plush-like The Red Douglas, 
an imposing rich red from the purple side. Nearer pure red we have velvety, glossy Garden Magic. The other two members of this quartet 
are the glowing bicolor. Radiant, and Christahel, bright fiery chestnut-red of all around excellence. Some of the brightest spots in the 
garden are made by clumps of the coppery chestnut-reds. There is coppery Spokan, deeper colored, luxurious Sir Launcelot and sparkling 
Golden Helmet. Piute is a real color gem. 
The class of reds with purple influence is more prolific in varieties and we have some excellent examples of fine iris here. Crimson- 
toned Joycette and more bicolor and brilliant Ethel Peckham are both splendid. Cheerio is gay and in some lights looks reddest of all this 
group. In the rose reds we have pleasing Junaluska and brightly-colored, bicolor Marco Polo with its especially rich crimson falls. Maya 
is a good new one and every iris collection should have Dauntless, one of the landmarks in iris development. 
While we have not reached spectrum red in iris we cannot help but marvel at the progress that has been made. We jiist have to 
think back to 1922 when Cardinal was the reddest iris. Today Legend, an improvement along the color lines of Cardinal, is in the purple 
class.

Our most recent addition to this gay color class is Prank Adams, a lovely soft-toned variety of maize and rose, beautifully branched. 
City of Lincoln still surpasses all comers in vividness. Rich completes my choice of the best three. Kingjubais still the best 
standard.
