OREGON TRAIL 



BLACK FOREST (Schreiner, 1945) Each $20.00 



"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 introduc- 

 tion. 



BLUE SHIMMER (J. Sass, 1942) Each $10.00 



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 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. AM AIS, 1942; AM, 1944. See page 12. 



BROWN BOY (Salbach, 1940) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Standards coppery orange; fa I is brownish orange; a seed- 

 ling of Copper Lustre and Radiant. Not very tall, it 

 makes a good subject for foreground planting where 

 brilliant color is desired. 



BROWN THRASHER (Kirkland, 1941) Each $10.00 



Here is an Iris with true brown color, not dull but actu- 

 ally brilliant because of the fiery beards and glowing 

 central area. It has a lustrous sheen, not velvety. Tall 

 stems bear several well-spaced blossoms of large size. 

 Far more alive and colorful than Copper Lustre and alto- 

 gether different from Tobacco Road. HM AIS, 1940; 

 AM, 1943. Shown on page 13. 



BRUNHILDE (Salbach, 1934) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Very dark uniform violet self, including an unusual blue 

 beard. A most regal Iris of great color intensity, with 

 splendid stems and widely flaring blossoms. 



BRYCE CANYON (Kleinsorge, 1944) 



Sold out last year 



Withdrawn to increase stock. 



BUCKSKIN (Kleinsorge, 1939) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Bearing a most appropriate title, this Iris is the best tan 

 in our collection. The stalks rise to a height of four feet, 

 bearing many great blooms with large closed standards 

 and wide flaring falls. Makes a fine companion to the 

 blue of Great Lakes. 



BERKELEY GOLD (Salbach, 1942) Each $5.00 



For three successive years this has maintained its position as one 

 of the three or four top ranking deep yellows. Absolutely perfect 

 in form, on stems that average three feet and over, well branched, 

 and with flowers of very rich solid yellow. Scarcity of stock has 

 maintained the same price for the third straight season. HM AIS, 

 1944. 



BERMUDA SAND (Hall, 1939) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



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 growing with broad foliage and sturdy bloom stalks. 



BEVERLY (Lapham, 1939) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Decidedly pink in tone, this rapidly increasing and floriferous Iris 

 is most suitable for garden effect. Blooms are of good size, well 

 shaped, and have a distinct edge of golden brown. Heavy yellow 

 beard, slight gold reticulations. 



BUFF AWN (Andrews, 1940) 



Each $1.50 



BIRCHBARK (Kleinsorge, 1940) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A very large flower, the falls broadly spreading and flaring down- 

 ward, giving it a pronounced rounded shape. Solid clean white, 

 with a cool inner glow. Medium height, to three feet, with splendid 

 branching; it makes a fine two-year clump. One of the parents 

 of "Arctic." 



If you are looking for an Iris of unusual coloring and with the 

 most brilliant tangerine beard, this is it. A soft pinkish buff self, 

 hard to describe, set off with a very red-orange beard. Nicely 

 shaped, prolific bloomer and attracts wide attention. 



BUTTERCUP LANE (Hall, 1941) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Ruffled and floriferous golden yellow, with deep orange beard. 



24 to 30 inches tall, an excellent variety for the foreground. 

 HM AIS, 1940. 



CALDERILLA (DeForest, 1944) Each $10.00 



Self blend of terra cotta, gold and cacao-brown, with violet flush 

 at end of the beard. A massive flower on strong 38-inch stalks 

 with four branches. Wide closed standards. A fine new blend 

 from the man who gave us Casa Morena. 



CALIFORNIA GOLD (Mitch., 1933) 



Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



By all odds the best value in a yellow Iris at anywhere near the 

 price. It is an easy grower and free bloomer, a deep glittering 

 yellow of very large size and surpasses everything in its color ex- 

 cept the recent novelties. Terrific demand last year reduced our 

 stock somewhat . . . please order early. 



CAMEROUN (Cayeux, 1938) 



Each $2.50 



A but little known French Iris of velvety blackish hue, one of the 

 best we have ever grown. The blooms are huge, almost black, with 

 a beautiful sheen and very broad falls. Our stock is limited.
