yellow blotch at base of petals.- Pistils striped lavender and 
purple, lips dull violet. Very handsome and showy. 6 petals 
beautifully ruffled and fluted. Size of flower 6 inches, height

RICHMOND—(No. 23, 1933). The ground color of this mar¬ 
velously beautiful variety is difficult to define, as it does not 
exactly match any of the color plates in Ridgeway’s Color 
Chart. Its rich lustrous color closely approaches Royal Pur¬ 
ple ,and Dark Violet cominji about half way between these 
two colors. Some of the flowers ore lightly mottled and 
splashed with light pink, prominent orange color at base of 
petals. Richmond is by far the richest colored Japanese Iris 
I have ever seen.
