Though this group is not numerically strong several of its members are iris we consider among the finest of all iris we grow. An 
iris striking for its individuality, form and carriage is rich soldier blue West Point. Not quite as deeply colored, broad and full is pop- 
ular Méssouri. Unmarred and rich, almost a Sir Joshua Reynolds blue, is lovely colored Narain. Tall and graceful Sierra Blue is a beauty 
with its tall branched stems. Interesting variations are fluted blue-bearded Belmont and pleasing Mme. Ulmann. 
We are particularly looking forward to several trial varieties we are testing both in this section and the light blues. They sound 
both promising and interesting. We hope to report on them in another season.

Like rich, glossy pansies the violet colored iris embrace some of the most velvety colored flowers known in the floral world. Among 
the standards in this class are Brunhilde, a sonorous rich self violet and the more velvety classic Deep Velvet. For finish and silken gleam 
Bonsor is one of the most regal iris we grow. Sable, a mellifluous claret black, is about the finest ‘‘black iris’’ to date. Inimitable Amigo 
is a stunning bicolor of sky blue and pansy purple. Classic Mrs. J. L. Gibson and smooth toned, extremely late blooming Mata Hari 
are indispensables. Fluted black purple Winneshiek, rich Black Beauty with its carved-like blooms, ebon hued Black Wings are three main- 
stays of any iris garden. Low growing Black Valor is close to true blue rather than black purple. Erhiop Queen rich black purple com- 
pletes a quartet of unusually dark colored beauties. 
Distinguished from the ordinary iris we have here several very imteresting variations in color and form. For triangular flaring 
form we have Blue Peter; Lilamani for princely carriage, a sombre beauty; and embossed, unusual crinkle petalled Mohrson.
