BUCKSKIN (Kleinsorge, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Bearing a most appropriate title, this Iris is the best tan in our 

 collection. The stalks rise to a height of four feet, bearing many 

 great blooms with large closed standards and wide flaring falls. 

 Makes a fine companion to the blue of Great Lakes. 



BUFF AWN (Andrews, 1940) Each $1.00 



If you are looking for an Iris of unusual coloring and with the 

 most brilliant tangerine beard, this is it. A soft pinkish buff self, 

 hard to describe, set off with a very red-orange beard. Nicely 

 shaped, prolific bloomer and attracts wide attention. 



CALIFORNIA GOLD (Mitch., 1933) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



By all odds the best value in a yellow Iris at anywhere near the 

 price. It is an easy grower and free bloomer, a deep glittering 

 yellow of very large size and surpasses everything in its color ex- 

 cept the recent novelties. Terrific demand last year reduced our 

 stock somewhat . . . please order early. 



CAMEROUN (Cayeux, 1938) Each $2.50 



A but little known French Iris of velvety blackish hue, one of the 

 best we have ever grown. The blooms are huge, almost black, with 

 a beautiful sheen and very broad falls. Our stock is limited. 



ALPINE GLOW 



BERMUDA SAND (Hall, 1939) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A glorified and gigantic Jean Cayeux, both standards and falls heavily 

 ruffled. Deeper in color than Jean Cayeux, a light coffee-tan with a 

 glint of gold. Freshly opened blooms are reddish gold. Strong growing 

 with broad foliage and sturdy bloom stalks. 



BEVERLY (Laphcrm, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Decidedly pink in tone, this rapidly increasing and floriferous Iris is most 

 suitable for garden effect. Blooms are of good size, well shaped, and 

 have a distinct edge of golden brown. Heavy yellow beard, slight gold 

 reticulations. 



BLACK FOREST (Schreiner, 1945) Each $15.00 



"Black as pitch," says the introducer. A rich, silky, ebony blue-black, 

 the effect of which is intensified by a very solid haft and a blackish blue 

 beard. Medium in height, with flaring falls. A very startling new intro- 

 duction. HM AIS, 1946. 



BLUE SHIMMER (J. Sass, 1942) Each $7.50 



An entirely different plicata, clean sparkling white with an all-over pat- 

 tern of clear blue stippling. The blue seems to be peppered on the white 

 background in an even manner, rather than in the familiar buttonhole- 

 stitch style. The flowers are extremely large and full. Certainly one of 

 the most outstanding Irises of the post few seasons. AM AIS, 1942; 

 AM 1944. See page 8. 



BROWN BOY (Salbach, 1940) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Standards coppery orange; falls brownish orange; a seedling of Copper 

 Lustre and Radiant. Not very tall, it makes a good subject for fore- 

 ground planting where brilliant color is desired. 



BRUNHILDE (Salbach, 1934) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Very dark uniform violet self, including an unusual blue beard. A most 

 regal Iris of great color intensity, with splendid stems and widely flaring 

 blossoms. 



BRYCE CANYON (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each $10.00 



A distinct and warm shade of henna-copper, self colored and so named 

 because of the similar colors found in the rock formations of one of 

 America's most famous tourist attractions. It has especially broad hafts, 

 large rounded falls and finely held standards. Picture on inside front 

 cover is a good likeness. This Iris achieved instant popularity; in the 

 1946 symposium it ranked in tenth position! HM AIS, 1945. Early 

 orders only.
