The medium blue iris are particularly rich. The Admiral and West Point are individual and distinguished. Early blooming Narain 
leaves little to be desired in color tone while opulent formed Méssouwri and graceful Sierra Blue are standouts in the blues. Attention 
is drawn to late blooming Janice. Notice too the high performance rating in this class.

This color class which some people call the darkest blues contains varieties characterized by rich, velvety petals. Several approach 
near black. They include rich Sable, claret black; Erhiop Queen, purple black and Black Valor, indigo black. Indiana Night is a splendid 
iris though not quite as dark. Mr. Salbach’s two dark creations, Brunbilde and Deep Velvet, are splendid. Mrs J. L. Gibson and Purple 
Giant along with Mata Hari are a trio of dark iris world renowned. 
In the splendid bicolor group Lothario seems to be proving itself outstanding and of course Amigo will always be a favorite. Bonsor 
has a color and silken finish highly unusual in a dark iris. One of the finest older iris is Winneshiek. We feel it should have received 
the Dykes Medal years ago. It is hard to deny it a place in-the 100 Best.
