FREELAND, MARYLAND 3 
a breathtaking beauty. SPINDRIFT is coral toned and makes a stunning 
clump. 
Salmon pink is MAJENICA, very large and fine. AUBANEL is a 
shrimp pink blend from France, the falls touched lilac in the center. ME- 
LANIE is one of our finest pinks, tall and free blooming. Orchid pink HAR- 
RIET THOREAU is smoothly colored. ANGELUS is distinct with its 
pearly suffusion and lovely form. CHINA MAID stands alone. A giant on 
tall stems, the petals are edged with soft brown gold. Feminine CHAN- 
TILLY is heavily edged with lace. 
Deeper rose toned iris are novel colored MULBERRY ROSE and huge 
INSPIRATION, the latter is always in heavy demand. LIGHTHOUSE is 
deep rose with a yellow glow throughout the center. 
Brown and tan iris follow with huge reddish brown CASA MORENA 
and golden red BRYCE CANYON, both outstanding novelties. SPOKAN 
has brown standards and chestnut red falls and is one of our finest old iris 
Darker LOUVOIS is a study in chocolate and maroon. The rosy brown 
color of huge COPPER LUSTRE is unique. One of the most famous brown 
iris is TOBACCO ROAD. The color is smoothly applied and the flaring 
blooms are of ideal form. Golden brown RUSSET WINGS is large with lace 
edged flowers on tall, strong stems. One of the brightest browns is bronzy 
BROWN THRASHER, smooth and irridescent. Smooth, light brown 
NIGHTINGALE is beautiful and dependable. In the tan class we note tall, 
flaring BUCKSKIN, tough textured OLD PARCHMENT and ever popu- 
lar smoky brown JEAN CAYEUX. GOLDEN RUSSET commands atten- 
tion. The gigantic tan flowers are very showy. Of very singular tone is ARAB 
CHIEF, fashioned of pure copper. It blooms quite late. 
The show closes with a rousing finale of multi-colored blends and orchid- 
like plicatas. Here the colors seem to run riot. Softly at first come quietly 
blended DAYBREAK, pink, copper and buff. The salmon tones of STAR- 
DOM, the lavender and chartreuse of exotic and huge LADY MOHR, the 
whole flower dusted green-gold, these art shades delight the eye. Sturdy 
PRES. PILKINGTON is a symphony of buff grey standards and French 
blue falls. The huge flowers are of perfect form and the plant habits are very 
satisfactory. Colorful CASCADE SPLENDOR blends warm hues of pink, 
apricot and buff. Many tones of brown are combined in late blooming ORE- 
GON TRAIL. Deepest of the blends is GRAND CANYON. It is plum 
colored, the falls high-lighted with blue and gold. 
Bright contrast is seen in the variegatas. There is famous CITY OF 
LINCOLN and shorter PERSIAN PRINCE with its solid coloring. Oriental 
BLACK & GOLD has standards of old gold and near-black falls. The con- 
trast is sharply defined. LA MADRE is richer in tone with golden brown 
standards and maroon falls. It is a grand grower and blooms freely. 
Last appear the exotic and sometimes bizarre plicatas. Richest and deep- 
est in tone are burgundy colored ROYAL SCOT and red on yellow FIRE- 
CRACKER. RUTH POLLOCK boasts a pattern of deep rose on a creamy 
background. The marking is well defined. BALMUNG resembles a tropical 
flower in its pattern of soft brown on a cream ground. Jewel spangled CORI- 
TICA is richly marked red and brown on a yellow background and the 
medium sized blooms are of beautiful form. 
Tall and large PATRICE is rose pink on a white ground while PEACH- 
BLOW is almost a pink and yellow blend, the markings are so softly applied.
