AZURE SKIES (Pattison, 1943) Each ^1.25 



Originally called "Summer Skies" by Mrs. Pattison, the originator, 

 this is a self of pale azure-blue with firm domed standards and flaring, 

 almost horizontal falls. The flowers are beautifully ruffled and have 

 wide hafts, surmounted by a while beard. Declared by many to be 

 the most lovely of all light blue Iris to date. 36 inches. AM AIS, 1945. 

 See page 11. 



BAGDAD (Whiting, 1946) Each ^6.00 



A deep, strong yellow, overlaid with a metallic finish of burnished 

 brass. Of pleasingly flaring form, very heavy in substance. This is 

 a strong grower, nicely branched, hardy and increases rapidly. A real 

 "brass-yellow." 



BALLET DANCER (Kleinsorge, 1949) Each ^12.00 



Resembling the swirling skirt in a "pirouette" this distinctive apricot- 

 tan is another Cascade Splendor seedling and a sister of Minuet. 

 Standards are large, full and closed. The falls are almost horizontal, 

 very broad, waved and crimped at the rim. Form is only one special 

 attribute . . . the coloring is delightful — a huffy golden apricot self 

 which carries well. 38 inches, large and well branched. HM AIS, 

 1949. 



BALMUNG (H. Sass, 1939) Each 75c; 3 for ^2.00 



Just about the finest, in our opinion, of all the Sass series of yellow 

 Plicatas. The ground color is a definite yellow and the markings are 

 peppered on in cinnamon-brown. Note the illustration — it is a perfect 

 likeness. Much larger than others of this series, with tall stems and 

 good habit. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1942. Shown on page 28. 



Cherie 



BANDMASTER (Hall, 1944) Each ^2.00 



A very large, vigorous growing and free blooming medium blue, a 

 few shades lighter than The Admiral and deeper than Great Lakes. 

 The color holds up unusually well. Immense foliage and heavy stems 

 36 to 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1944. 



BERKELEY GOLD (Salbach, 1942) Each ^1.00; 3 for ^2.50 



This fine yellow continues to hold a place near the top in the list of 

 100 best Iris. Absolutely perfect in form, on stems that average 3 feet 

 and over, well branched and with flowers of very rich solid yellow, 

 it is regarded by many judges as the world's best yellow Iris. HM AIS, 

 1944; AM 1946. 



BERMUDA SAND (Hall, 1939) Each ^1.00; 3 for ^2.50 



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 grow- 

 ing with broad foliage and sturdy bloom stalks. 



BLACK BANNER (Nicholh, 1947) Each ^2.50 



Velvety, intensely colored near black. Sleek and rich in its midnight 

 hue, with practically solid dark hafts. Increases very rapidly and 

 grows well everywhere. Height 3 ft. HM AIS, 1947. 



BLACK FOREST (Schreiner, 1945) Each ^3.50 



"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 introduction. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1948. 



BLACK RUBY (Dolman, 1949) Each ^7.50 



An almost black-red, extra smooth and glossy. It is very early, be- 

 ing one of the first of the tall bearded Iris to open. Hafts are clean 

 and devoid of markings, the bronze-gold beard seemingly placed 

 on a solid piece of velvety crimson-black. Branching is good and 

 the stems are about 34 to 36 inches in height. Increases rapidly 

 and soon forms a fine clump. HC AIS, 1946; HM, 1949. 



BLUE FRILLS (Stephenson, 1946) Each ^3.00 



Pure azure blue, darker than Great Lakes but still a light blue Iris. 

 Clear and uniform in color, the flowers rounded in style, and of a rich 

 glossy texture. The blue tinged beard adds to the color note. 34 

 inches.
