We believe the iris in this class can be called the forgotten ones. Here is an opportunity for the hybridist to give us several fresh 
blue and yellow blends. Since the tremendous advance of yellows in our modern iris is due primarily to the use of a dominant yellow, 
blends as we would like them are comparatively rare. Prettily patterned Sorrente is the finest blend extant. Valiant is lovely. We await 
Frances Douglas’ performance to see how it measures and places itself. Hybridizers here is a class for experimentation.

This class contains some of the most tranquil yet at the same time some of the most unusual colored iris. One of the most popular 
iris of all time is Violet Crown, a splendid creation. Serene Ozone, dove-lavender with chestnut throat markings like the throat of an 
unusual colored bird. Light and airy Modéste, a pale lavender gauze gives a decided ethereal appearance. There is no iris like singular, 
globular, veined and dotted Wm. Mohr. Two seedlings, flaring, deeper Grace Mohr and Ormohr, sturdy lavender, are taller, more branched 
hybrids. Both are of easier culture. Several novelties await further placement.

A few years ago the greatest attention of iris hybridizers was directed toward creation of finer yellows. Splendid results have been 
attained. Lately hybridizers’ interest has shifted to attaining better pinks. We have some fine new creations now becoming available 
at moderate cost. Among such are the trio of Angelus, hardy, thrifty, broad-petalled lavender pink. A little tender but a charming color 
is mallow pink China Maid. Exquisite orchid pink Morocco Rose is one of the finest. Two newer splendid additions are Me/anie, finest 
orchid pink destined to be widely praised and blended Lancaster. It would not be right in reviewing iris of the pink section to neglect 
to mention the standbys Baller Girl, a filmy, flaring light blush pink; silvery orchid, stately Impertal Blush; two ideal massing kinds 
Noweta, about the pinkest and salmony-pink Sa/mon Splendor. The warmth of blending of yellow gives mellow and warm effects.
