BLUE GLOW (Nicholls, 1945) Each ^3.50 



Very rich deep blue, the exceptionally wide falls having a lacquered 

 appearance. Standards are a shade lighter than the falls, broad and 

 full, crisp and brilliant. The haft: is solid brown with a long white 

 beard shading into orange withltj the flower. The very best Iris of 

 I his color. Big, bold and^ 3 feet tall. HM AIS, 1948. 



BLUE RHYTHM (Whiting, 1945) Each ^4.00 



Very large flowers of Cornflower-ljlue, softened by a silvery overtone. 

 The large standards are arched and domed, the broad falls are semi- 

 Haring with smoothly colored hafts. Growing from 3 to 4 feet in 

 height, perfectly branched, we consider it just about tops as a blue 

 Iris. HM AIS, 1945; AM, 1947. 



ELUE SHIMMER (J Sass, 1942) Each ^1.50; 3 for ^4.00 

 An entirely different Plicata. Clean, sparkling white with an all-over 

 pattern of clear blue stippling. The blue seems tio 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 past few seasons. 

 HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1944. See page 38. 



BLUE VALLEY (K. Smith, 1947) Each ^10.00 



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. 

 Few plants. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 1949. 



BRIGHT LIGHTS (Schreiner, 1946) Each ^3.00 



Actually a yellow Plicata along the lines of Tiffanja. but with less of 

 the Plicata pattern and a more yellow and white contrast. The falls 

 carry a central patch or "blaze" of almost pure wliite. The stitchings 

 are soft brown. A very colorful clump. Shown below. 



BRILLIANT AMBER (Sal bach, 1947) Each ^5.00 



Deep amber standards with slight pinkish cast. Big, semi-flaring falls 

 of bright golden brown with deeper gold veining. The beard is deep 

 yellow. A strong growing variety, well branched, distinct and bright 

 in tone. 40 inches tall. HM AIS. 1947.
