Renowned Great Lakes has received approbation everywhere, reliable and beautiful. Silvery toned Anitra, Exclusive and Gloriole 
are all fine. Sparkling Blue and Silver Lustre attract all who view them. The three wistaria blues have sort of a peaceful air about them 
that is hard to describe. New iris in this color seem to be few, due no doubt to the prevailing high quality existant in the class as 
a whole. Several very new novelties are being tried. Blue is a lovely shade in the garden and can be used effectively with many other 
colors.

An engaging shade of blue. Iris with the form and finish of The Admiral or the individual grace of West Point are instantly sin- 
gled out. Blue Zenith has fine free flowering habits. The opulent and regal Méssouri and early blooming Narain are all excellent exam- 
ples of rich colors and fine garden subjects. Two iris suitable for especial mention are tall Sterra Blue where height is desired and the 
pure, leather-substanced Janice, valuable for its late blooming.

A group of iris designated by varying terms as dark blues, indigos, blacks. These iris are characterized by rich, velvety petals. 
Good examples of new black iris include Sable, a claret black and a fine iris. Ethiop Queen, a good purple black. Indiana Night and 
Black Valor are variable performers, richly colored. Two of the finest garden subjects in these deep shades that grow with ease are 
silken-finished Bonsor and bicolored Nightfall. Down East, Brunhilde, Deep Velvet along with Purple Giant are all admirable iris. Though 
not as new, Mrs. J. L. Gibson remains one of our favorites. Another iris we would never care to be without is Winneshiek, thoroughly 
fine. Mata Hari too is an iris we relish as it is one of the very last to flower. In bicolors Lothario ably demonstrates its preeminence. 
Amigo, always a favorite, is a well fashioned clear cut bicolor. Lowése Blake closely resembles it.
