There is a delicacy and refinement in these pastel colored iris which exhibit their unusual combinations of blue and yellow in flowers 
the size and substance of which surprise even the more jaded iris enthusiasts. Within this section there is striking diversity of color¬ 
ing. Silver blue and dove grey Persia or lavender blue and burnished yellow-gold Serenite constitute two of the oustanding examples. 
K. V. Ayres, silken mist-like blue-lavender is unusual and the soft harmonies of Genevieve Serouge are very much worthwhile. Richly 
contrasting blue and encrusted gold, vivid colored Valiant completes this class of unusual and varied color gems.

A class not of great size numerically but possessing a few examples of some extremely handsome and worthwhile iris. We have 
two personal favorites, Ozpne, dove-grey lavender with chestnut markings, so like the breast markings on some rare bird and sturdy 
Violet Crown, a must-have in any collection. Our new arrival is lovely soft lavender-mauve Modiste. Probably no Iris lover has failed 
to see or hear of Wm. Mohr, one of the most extraordinary iris we have. We have two of its children here, flaring Grace Mohr anA vatim-

Trial Variety 
Marisha.$5.00 
Our pink class shows improvement each year with several interesting new kinds on trial here and in the deeper colored pink sec¬ 
tion. The original pinks we had twenty years ago were tones of orchid pink. These colors have been vastly improved and placed on 
tall stems with large flowers like tall, silvery-pink Imperial Plush, warm, opulent Pink Opal or airy, filmy-pink Ballet Girl. More pink 
in tone are those iris blended with yellow. Among these are the three standouts in the pinks today. Large, broad-petalled lavender 
pink Angelus, mallow-pink China Maid and exquisite orchid Morocco Rose. Not quite as tall or as large but one of the pinkest iris is 
lovely Noweta. Amitola is an improvement on old, reliable Rameses. Eros gives a different effect with its salmony tinting in its pink 
coloring.
