PRETTY QUADROON 



BLUEBEARD (Hail, '55) Each $1.50 



A large deep blue with very full flaring falls which droop 

 gracefully near the tips. The beard is not blue, but has 

 blue tips which make it appear blue all over. Silky sheen 

 and brilliant color! 3 feet. Shown on page 19. 



BLUE HAWAII (Schreiner, '54) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Rich marine-blue, a bright shade which gives a definite 

 blue effect in the garden. Very large and fullv formed 

 flowers, slightly ruffled as in the case of Snow Flurry, 

 one of its parents. 3V2 feet tall. 



BLUE RHYTHM (Whiting, '45) 



Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Very large flowers of cornflower-blue, softened by a 

 silvery overtone. The large standards are arched and 

 domed, the broad falls are semi-flaring with smoothly 

 colored hafts. Growing from 3 to 4 feet in height, per- 

 fectly branched, we consider it just about tops as a blue 

 Iris. HM AIS, 1945; AM, 1947; Dykes Medal, 1950. 



BLUE SAPPHIRE (Schreiner, '53) Each $1 .00 



"Heavenly blue" is a phrase befitting this new ruffled 

 addition to an increasingly popular color class. Lighter 

 in tone than many others, with a glowing gold beard; 

 it is large in size, on tall and well branched stalks which 

 defy both wind and rain. It makes one of the finest 

 clumps in any garden. HM AIS. 1954: AM. 1956; Dvkes 

 Medal, 1958. See page 26. 



BLUE SHIMMER (J. Sass, '42) 



Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



An entirely different plicata. Clean, sparkling white 

 with an all-over pattern of clear blue stippling. 

 The blue seems to be peppered on the white back- 

 ground in an even manner, rather than the familiar 

 buttonhole-stitch style. The flowers are extremely 

 large and full. HM AIS. 1942; AM, 1944. 



BLUE VALLEY (K. Smith, '47) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



This new Iris, a seedling of Lake George crossed with 

 Great Lakes, has been the subject of much praise and 

 comment. Very near to true blue, ruffled and large in 

 size, it possesses an unusual sparkling sheen. HM AIS, 

 1947; AM, 1949. Pictured on page 27.
