An appealing collection of very fine iris comprise this section. Undoubtedly Lowvois can be most appropriately called the brown 
iris — it is a masterpiece of color. Bright and cherry Sonny Boy is a much improved, richer King Midas. Depute Nomblot represents an 
achievement by which many iris are judged. For brilliance and oriental color glowing Shirvan is gorgeous. Opulent and harmoniously 
colored Beowulf, a rich maroon, completes a set of very satisfactory iris.

The last few seasons have seen vast improvement in attainments closer than ever to “‘red’’. Variation in kind of red pigmentation 
would be bound to expand and as a consequence this year we have rearranged the sub groups under this classification which directly 
reflect the improvement and extent of variation we now have. 
Which of the three groups of iris are the reddest is a moot question. Very likely the ruby and crimson influenced varieties ap- 
proach the true color more closely than others. It would be difficult to say definitely which is the finest red with such kinds as Red 
Gleam, a gleaming red; rich, velvety Garden Magic and Christabel which competes with any high rating red. Both Cheerio and Marco 
Polo are fiery bicolors, the latter having less brown and more rose red. 
The brilliant effect of an orange cast in some of the red varieties gives us some vividly colored iris such as colorful Radiant. A 
more blended version would be E. B. Williamson. Newer Copper Rose is bright and gleams more like a new penny than any iris we have 
seen. Flora Campbell reminds one of the blush red of a ripe peach. It would never do to overlook Crimson Tide, a splendid flaring red. 
And Dr. Kirkland’s set of Junaluska, Setting Sun and Sheba, all bicolors, are as colorful a combination as can be imagined. 
Lastly, we have The Red Douglas, the 1941 Dykes Medalist, a beautiful plush red. A very meritorious newcomer is garnet colored 
Red Valor, a jewel. Piute is not large but its color is preferable by some to all other reds. In glancing at the trial varieties we visualize 
an interesting blooming season. We wonder which of the older iris they will replace. A number come to us highly recommended.
