Most of the iris of merit originated today are of American origin. It is perhaps interesting that two of the most unusual new iris 
in this class are over-the-seas products. England’s contribution is Sa eualtoiored Alastor. Totally different from both the foregoing 
and others of this group is New Zealand's contribution, striking, carmine-rose Inspiration. Our own development Mulberry Rose is 
without counterpart in color in any iris known to us. We know of no set of three iris within a color class having such unusual color 
and yet such variation thus making each entirely distinct from the other. 
The deeper rose to rose and pink reds include Lighthouse, the lightest of this series; Monadnock, the deepest; and Matula broad flow- 
ered, late blooming and of quite dark blending. 
Aubanel is one of the less common colored iris we grow, shrimp pink tinted heliotrope. More blended and bicolor At Dawning 
is every popular, early blooming. Sandia is heavily petalled, a smoky salmon pink. Mrs. Willard Jaques has this warm tone with even 
more salmon in its coloring. Avondale is liked because of its tapsberry tints and an indispensable is ever lovely, queenly Frieda Mohr, 
a giant when it was introduced and today still one of the best iris.

Glowing like rich jewels the varieties in the purple class are most handsome. Elegant, proud-crested Storm King is the newest splen- 
did sort. We rank Destiny very high, a finished smooth surfaced, first class iris. Regal abate Directeur Pinelle, is one of the 
finest. For garden effect rich, glossy, bishop's purple Indian Hills is superb, a telling color. Smolder rich and deeper has very tall, finely 
branched stems. Two varieties known for their original attractive color are pure purple Favori and unusual petunia-violet Thelma 
Jean so trim and precisely formed. The palm for the largest iris to date goes to William A. Setchell, a gargantuan silken light purple 
ee much better than expected for its large sized blooms. Our trial varieties promise severe competition to all members of the 
tables above.
