The mode of coloration in this color class is altogether unique. Still indispensable and paramount is the great Los Angeles. More 
lavender hemstitched is its sister seedling San Francisco. Delicately marked Seduction is a gem. Deep rose markings on silver background 
describes stippled Mme. Louis Aureau. For size we have Wasatch and Theodolinda. Mention should be made of highly satisfactory, ma- 
genta marked Sacramento. Newest addition is quaint marbled Florentine. 
One of the hybridizing triumphs of recent years is the creation of the yellow background plicata series so successfully achieved by 
the Sass brothers. The yellow plicata group has background colors ranging from cream-yellow to deepest yellow upon which there 
is a variety of markings. We are further testing several varieties before passing judgment. Introductions have been quite rapid in recent 
years and we wish to adequately test and compare each variety. Szegfried, the first yellow plicata, has markings of havana brown on 
cream, Or/off, an unexpected medley of cinnamon-tan on yellow. Tiffany a rich rose on yellow. Newer developments include Balmung, 
browner, and Ruth Pollock more rosy stippled. Freckles is itself immediately descriptive.

A class of striking contrasts of color. The leader and winner of the Dykes Medal for 1940 is Wabash, cool white standards with 
vivid, velvety blue falls. The multi-hued Shah Jehan is truly novel and without counterpart. Marquita with its huge cream standards 
is lovely. On trial we have Viipuri, a paler reflection of Wabash. While improvement 1s laborious and slow we are happy to report 
we have two seedlings in our test beds of this color range that seem most promising.

Iris ‘‘color’d with the heaven’s own blue.’’ We do not have many new additions to this lovely color division. Great Lakes, semi- 
flaring, animated self blue is about the finest blue iris we grow. For sheer beauty serene Blue Diamond approaches primacy. The silken, 
smooth periwinkle blue of Exclusive is altogether delightful. Placid, cool, trim Amitra and azure blue Aline are older indispensables. 
Gloriole, fluffy, down-like blue. Most tranquil is lovely Shining Waters. Exceptional for flat, flaring falls is very blue Waverly.
