Within the red division we have several color groups that are surprising variations from each other. The orange and copper red 
iris have near scarlet flame tones. Wakarusa and tinsel like Copper Rose are examples. For the seeker of the brilliant, iris such as vivid 
Radiant or lively Orange Glow are two fine examples. The broad petaled Chief Poking Fire gives an unusual note with its smoldering tones. 
The “‘brown”’ iris done in rich velvet is Lowvois, while the blending with chestnut gives us two pleasant variations in Stained Glass 
and lacquered, bicolor Russet Mantle. 
In the crimson shades of red, So/id Mahogany has proven itself to be exceptionally outstanding. Edward Lapham for smoothness 
and nearest true red is tops. Désp/ay for a brown cast red and beautiful Jasper Agate for glistening finish are exceptional varieties. Ac- 
tion Front, broad petaled, is an upstanding red. It is impossible not to include Garden Magic and Christabel in the select class. They are 
splendid in every way and Red Gleam is another eminently satisfactory and most worthy plant. 
The outstanding trio in the next grouping of reds is Garden Glory, an iris so rich it is singled out by ‘‘What’s that?’’ Ranger is the 
freest growing red iris we have and ever lovely The Red Douglas and rich ruby Red Valor are also fine growing subjects. Redward is a 
must. It was a stout contender for the ‘‘reddest’’ iris as it bloomed last season. Capt. Wells for deep maroon red and Garden Flame for 
a distinct shade of red are both highly individual. 
We believe it is extremely interesting to note the progression toward a pure red iris. Our red iris are fundamentally a combina- 
tion of several pigments. The amount of yellow entering into the amalgamation generally gives the flower the amount of brilliance 
it possesses. Finish in these flowers in particular has improved immeasurably. Two outstanding examples of this development are 
the varieties Jasper Agate and Garden Glory. The interesting trial iris promise even further variation.

These brilliant iris, also called the red bicolors, give a striking garden picture. Czty of Lincoln is one of the most brilliant. Newer 
Gypsy is even more warm orange toned and bears great promise. Mary Vernon is more blended with a softer, delicate rose and maize. 
Persian Prince and free growing Bombay complete this interesting set.
