Not a large class numerically but containing several preeminent iris of great value. Courtly Depute Nomblor, most probably the 
classic of irisdom for form; Louvois the richest masterpiece of all the brown iris. A clump of glowing Shirvan is highly satisfactory 
or larger, free growing, brown-red Elkhart. Flaring JEB Stuart or more full, rounded Beowu/f, maroons, complete our picture.

Within our red grouping you will note differentiation between reds having a chestnut or coppery influence and reds coming from 
the purple side of the color scale; in the immediate future we envision another subdivision of orange red as exemplified by Radiant’s 
colorings. 
Each year we name a quartet of reds that seem to tower above all other reds. Such a quartet includes Red Gleam, gleaming brown- 
red; The Red Douglas, red plush; Red Valor, garnet red and Radiant colorful orange-red. In naming only four we leave out free growing, 
resplendent Christabel or renowned Garden Magic. This would be folly as these two iris rank as high as the four above mentioned and 
at times surpass them. Therefore this year we name a sextette of recommendations. 
Rather different are the blended types of reds best visualized in E. B. Williamson and Sonny Boy. Newer and very effective red blends 
are Dr. Kirkland’s two new ones, Setting Sun and Sheba. In bicolor range of reds Marco Polo is generally picked as the finest red bi- 
color with more brown Cheerio and yellower tinted Junaluska both enjoying great popularity. Mention should be made of the tried 
and true varieties Joycette, Ethel Peckham and Dauntless. The gardener who has not enjoyed these and goes on to newer kinds is missing 
something. Very new kinds on trial promise a wide variety of color, two very bright ones are Orange Flame and Wakarusa; rich garnet- 
purple Garden Flame and flaring Flora Campbell which seems as if it may surpass E. B. Williamson having its tones in more intense col- 
orations.
