Color artistically applied . . . generaily a hemstitching of lavender or rose edged or stippled on white backgrounds. One of the 
all time greats of Irisdom is Los Angeles. Demure Seduction is a gem. Many are the varieties of this popular color class and no collec- 
tion worthy of the name could be called complete without popular rose stippled Mme. Louis Aureau or quaintly marbled Florentine. Each 
of these fair iris is unique. Some of the huge blooms are very blue marked Theodolinda and broad petalled Wasatch, some of the largest 
iris we grow. 
Something new in iris has been the development of plicatas with yellow or cream backgrounds. The various combinations are 
startling, unique and altogether charming. Some have the exotic appeal of rare tropical orchids. Siegfried, one of the trail blazers, has 
markings of havana brown on cream. Late blooming and ruffled it deserves wide acquaintance. Altogether charming is melodious, 
rose stippled on lemon Tiffany while Orloff is an unexpected medley of cinnamon tan on cream. Both have colors combined in a unique 
manner. Extremely popular for that different corner in the garden border. Varying the depth of color Royal Coach has a very yellow 
background marked tan. Freck/es—the name is instantly ee of its freckling of tan on lemon-cream, refreshing. Newer stars 
include Balmung, brown and yellow and Ruth Pollock rose marked on rich yellow. Several very promising varieties are on trial. We are 
introducing three plicatas that are without counterpart. We sincerely believe newer combinations and patterns that will surprise us 
all are forthcoming.

Iris which have the greatest contrast—whose standards are light and delicate yet whose falls reflect nights deep hues. The out- 
standing iris of this color 1s Wabash, cool white with the sharp contrast of velvety blue falls. A variation is huge Margquita with silken 
cream standards and rose lined falls. Multi-hued Shah Jehan is a true piece of oriental magnificence. Three Sisters promises to be of in- 
terest. We are concerned for its tenderness which will have to be observed further.

Iris ‘colored with the heavens own blue.’’ One of the loveliest iris we grow is classic, flaring Great Lakes. Smooth periwinkle 
Exclusive is another of the finest of blue iris. Cool, placid Amétra and fluffy down-like blue Gloriole are two pale blues that we value most 
highly. Tranquil Shining Waters, slightly tender, would rate near the highest. For sheer beauty B/we Diamond approaches the ulti- 
mate. Its growth habit unfortunately is apt to be variable. Of exceptional form we have rigid, flaring Waverly.
