The clear-cut superiority of Missouri in the middle blues is now rivalled by trim West Point. In deep tones and of unusually true 
blue we have Narain. The tallest, and a very worthy iris, is Sierra Blue. Mention should be made of the crystaline flaring Belmont and 
its lighter sister Waverly. Indigo Bunting is an unexcelled landscaping variety.

Trial Varieties 
Black Valor.$ 6.00 Ethiop Queen.$10.00 
Deep Velvet.$15.00 Sable.$12.50 
Our violets, purples and rich reds seem to be the colors that afford the greatest opportunity for richness (velvetiness) of color. In 
this section we have classic Mrs. J. L. Gibson. Three luxuriantly tall beauties are angular Blue Peter, sonorous Lilamani, and unusual, 
smooth Mata Hari. Not as velvety but one of the finest is the outstanding pure violet Brunhilde. No iris endows more charm than two- 
toned Amigo. Some of the older kinds, without which any iris garden would be lacking, include sturdy Valor, dusky Black Wings and 
that prince fluted in black, Winneshiek. 
We have several fine new creations on trial. The laurel for the blackest iris is going to be contested between silky black Ethiop 
Queen, blue black Black Valor or dusky claret black Sable. One of the purest deep blues is regal Bonsor and we should mention that pre¬ 
cisely sculptured beauty, Deep Velvet. We wish we could tell of others of this class but lack of space forbids.
