RIPPLING WATERS 



BANG (Craig, '55) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A red with a name in keeping with the impression it creates in the 

 garden! Broad falls of brilliant color and heavy substance, slightly 

 waved. Height 36 inches. HM, AIS, 1955, AM 1960. See page 45. 

 One of the "Five Iris of the Year" for 1963. 



BAZAAR (Schreiner, '55) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A glorified version of Raspberry Ribbon, far more brilliant and 

 more deeply colored. The blooms are very large, on 36-inch stems. 

 HM AIS, 1956. 



BEECHLEAF (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This seedling of Pretty Quadroon has attracted a lot of attention 

 for the past several seasons. It is more ruffled than its parent and, 

 while bearing some resemblance because of its brownish hue, it is 

 more coppery and is enlivened by a violet undertone. The beard 

 is orange-brown. Very large blooms on 3-foot stalks. HM AIS, 

 1955; AM, 1959. Pictured on page 39. 



BERMUDA HIGH (Tompkins, '64) Each $10.00 



A self of glowing "Blood Ruby" red, clean and unblemished, with 

 chocolate brown beard. Wide, domed standards and broad, flaring 

 falls are special features of this new and exciting bright red. 40 

 inches, perfectly branched. HM AIS, 1966. 



BIG CHIEF (Hall, '64) Each $4.00 



Deep, dark and handsome are appropriate words to apply to this 

 big, rich mulberry with orange-brown beards. The wide flaring 

 falls curve slightly and a bit of lace along the edge adds elegance. 

 Very tall and quite late, lasting until the end of the season. Stems 

 will reach 40 inches or over. 



BLACK SWAN (Fay, '60) Each $2.00 



As sleek and as ebon-hued as the graceful bird for which it is 

 named. It will satisfy those looking for just about the ultimate in 

 dark Iris— great size, very wide petals, smooth velvety surface and 

 a brown beard tipped black. 35 inches. HM AIS, 1960 AM, 1962. 

 See page 12. 



BLACK TAFFETA (Sanger, '54) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Glistening blackish purple standards and broad velvety black falls, 

 slightly ruffled, combine to give us one of the very best of these 

 rich and sultry beauties. The beard is tipped bronze. Medium 

 late, height 34 inches. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1957. See page 52. 



BLUE BARON (Schreiner, '62) Each $5.00 



A massive, rich, marine blue of huge size and classical form. The 

 blooms are ruffled and well spaced on 40-inch stalks bearing up 

 to 15 buds each. This and Deep Space certainly rank near the top 

 among all recently introduced intensely deep blue Iris! HM AIS, 

 1963; AM, 1965. 



DAWN CREST 



GREEN QUEST 



BLUEBEARD (Hall, '55) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



A large deep blue with very full flaring falls which drop 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.
