PURPLES Continued from previous page 
A class of rich colors. Sensational E/mobr is one of the ‘‘greats’’ of the iris world, Rangitikei is a beautiful shade of near-claret. 
Two others in this general color are amethyst Master Charles and rich Indian Hills. Two extremely smooth kinds are lacquer finished, 
chinese-violet Lord Dongan, huge flowers, and silken finished Storm King. Vatican Purple is another fine iris. Bright Melody presents a 
different pattern in a charming way. Both Destiny and Directeur Pinelle, shades of plum, are rich and imposing. Grand Canyon with 
ever changing hues of plum, gold, bronze and purple is a blend to study.

This red class assembles quite a unique collection of iris with a surprising variation in coloration. The brilliant fiery-orange and 
copper-reds are exemplified by flame-like Wakarusa and bright tinsel like Copper Rose. Vivid Radiant and melodious E. B. Williamson 
are two good examples with the newer Chief Poking Fire completing an unusual color range. The title “the brown iris’’ belongs rightfully 
to Louvots. Newer Russet Mantle is a smooth brown red, while two older varieties Cheerio, bicolor, and blended Stained Glass each con- 
tribute a pleasant variation. 
There always will be newer claimants for the title the reddest iris. Here are the iris they will have to surpass. Edward Lapham 
for smoothness of finish and color. Display for clear cut blooms and Jasper Agate for a glistening finish, like a highly polished agate — 
a trio of reds hard to surpass. Garden Magic and Christabel, older iris, are so thoroughly fine I would not want to be without them. 
Action Front, Flamely and Red Bonnet are iris that will be spoken of much more as they become distributed, very worthy. 
Garden Glory along with Edward Lapham, Display and Jasper Agate furnishes quality and beauty in the reds. A new iris has to sur- 
pass these to be great. Garden Glory is one of those little giants so full of class it is instantly singled out. Capt. Wells and The Red Douglas 
are well known purple reds. Red Valor and Ranger ate becoming unusually well liked. Ranger is perhaps the better grower. Starless 
Night is a deeper red than most. In fact it is about the only dark red iris in contrast with the deep shades of purples and violets where 
we have several varieties.
