Circumstances having made necessary a change of residence to 

 Tucson, Arizona, Mr. Baird moved the irises shown opposite to 

 this new home. They now adorn the grounds equally as well as 

 they did in New York. 



AT DAWNING Each $3.00 



Appropriately named huge flower of arbutus pink 

 and brilliant rose, light yellow at the throat. There 

 is a pearly suffusion in the standards. Stalks are very 

 strong and hold the flowers well aloft on excellent 

 branches. 



AUTUMN FROST Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A large flowered pure white, with golden haft and 

 beard. A fall bloomer. 



AVONDALE Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Very large flower of subdued shades of copper, 

 bronze and violet, beautifully blended. A reddish 

 bronze effect in the garden, with very brilliant golden 

 beard. Height 3 feet. Awarded an H. M. by the iris 

 society in 1936. 



AZTEC COPPER Each $25.00 



Something entirely different in color, offered 

 among this season's new ones. See page 5. 



BALLET GIRL Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Pure blush pink, soft and daintily colored, with 

 large rounded flaring falls. Its daintiness and grace 

 are indeed suggestive of a dancing girl. Above aver- 

 age size in the pink class, this clearly colored intro- 

 duction from H. P. Sass and Robert Schreiner is bound 

 to win popularity on account of its exquisite coloring 

 and unusual charm. 



BEOWULF Each $3.00; 3 for $8.00 



True maroon red, carrying neither the usual pur- 

 ple nor the oftimes coppery tone peculiar to red iris. 

 Of full Dominion velvetiness, with standards and 

 falls both carrying the uniform deep maroon color. 

 A seedling of Grace Sturtevant, produced by Robert 

 Schreiner and introduced in 1936. Large, early 

 blooming, well branched. 



BERMUDA SAND Each $15.00 



Lovely sand-tan, or golden sand. A gigantic flower 

 listed among this years introductions on page 8. 



BLACKAMOOR Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Dusky dark purple, with a metallic sheen and blue 

 beard. The great flowers are very long in appear- 

 ance, and the odd lustre gives them a certain indi- 

 viduality seen in no other sort. Free blooming with 

 purple tinged foliage Very fine. 



BLACK WINGS Each 35c; 3 for 75= 



Those who have been looking for a black iris will 

 find that the quest almost ends here. The actual color 

 is midnight blue, with a frosty lustre on the velvety 

 falls. A big flower, easily grown, and one of the most 

 popular varieties in commerce. Runner up for Dykes 

 Medal, 1935. 



BLUE DANUBE Each $5.00 



An English introduction, a rich de°o blue self. 

 Said to approach the coloring of an anchusa. with a 

 blue tipped beard. We have not seen it but will flower 

 it here this spring. 



BLUE PETER Each $2.50 



Highly praised very deep blue, extra brilliant. Tall 

 and stately, reaching 40 inches, with very large well 

 placed blooms. Limited stock. 



BLUE SPIRE Each $3.50 



As the name indicates, a very tall and classically 

 beautiful flower. The newest blue from Milliken, who 

 has put out such things as Sierra Blue, Shining Waters, 

 Pale Moonlight and Blue Peter. He regards this as 

 perfection itself. 



BLUE TRIUMPH Each $1.50 



Very pale blue, of soft even tone but heavy sub- 

 stance. Huge stalks, carrying from 12 to 15 flowers, 

 widely set apart. Produced by Mr. Grinter, who gave 

 us Garden Magic and Missouri. 



BROWN BETTY Each $1.00 



Blended shades of cinnamon and other browns, 

 with some copper and lavender intermingled. Very 

 distinct and beautiful in its native California, but in- 

 clined to lush growth and a bit erratic here in the 

 moist Northwest. 



BRUNHILDE Each $2.00 



Very dark uniform violet blue self, including an 

 unusual blue beard. A most regal iris that will be 

 particularly welcome because of its color intensity 

 and unusually smooth finish. The flowers are of per- 

 fect flaring form, the stalks low and widely branched, 

 carrying up to 20 buds. Beautiful under artificial 

 light. A Carl Salbach introduction of 1934. 



BUCKSKIN Each $10.00 



No iris was ever more appropriately named. A 

 big husky new one; see page 5.
