 china. Well branched, late, three feet in height. See page 58. 



BLUE MOUNTAINS (Schreiner, '64) Each $12.00

 size and perfect form. A clump of this Iris loaded

 vention. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1965. 



BLUE SAPPHIRE (Schreiner, '53) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



"Heavenly blue" is a phrase befitting this niffled

 tionally free blooming. 3 feet tall. HM AIS, 1962.

 three feet in height as it grows here. HM AIS, 

 1965. 



BRASILIA (Schreiner, '61) Each $3.50 



Deep but verv l^riiliant henna-brown-red. This is a 

 new and striking color in Iris, much more lively 

 than others in the lirownish color tones. It is large, 

 well proportioned and beautifully branched. Height 

 35 inches. HM MS, 1962. 



BRASS ACCENTS (Schreiner, '59) Each $2.50
