For purity of color rich, fine Narain deserves much more notice than has been given to it. Two of the stalwarts of this color class 
include broad and full Miéssouri, one of the finest iris we grow. The other, Sierra Blue, very tall and graceful is a splendid iris in every 
way. One of the most striking iris of this group is the rich soldier-blue West Point whose added quality of lateness of bloom make it 
more than an indispensable. The Admiral, our latest acquisition in this group, is fully as distinctive in carriage and a different, original 
shade of rich blue.

Three different types of violet (blue purples) are included in this group. The first are those deep, but not velvety, violets. Brun- 
hilde sonorous rich self and the newer Deep Velver are true iris classics. They are totally distinct. Mobrson is cockled rich purple and 
Purple Giant deserves notice for its extreme vividness. 
Our second grouping is the deep self iris. Here are several of the close approaches to ‘‘black’’ so intensely are they colored. Sable 
is probably the leader, a mellifluous claret black. Ethiop Queen purple black and Black Valor indigo black complete this dusky trio. 
There are three other representatives of the 100 Best caliber in this class. These are Mata Hari smooth toned and extra late blooming, 
Mrs. J. L. Gibson one of our favorites with a classic form, truly beautiful, and older The Black Douglas rich and lustrous, stand the test 
of time. 
Our third section embraces combinations of lighter standards with intense falls. One of the most colorful is inimitable Amigo, 
stunning bicolor of sky blue and pansy purple. For a superb finish and silken gleam no iris approaches Bonsor in a color remotely like it. 
A fine grower, tall and distinctive is Winneshiek. Blue Peter is of slightly different tone with triangular florets. If last season is any 
criterion our new Lothario promises to be a striking progression in this class.
