BLACK SWAN (Fay, '60) Each $1.50 



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 8. 



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 42. 



BLUE BARON (Schreiner, '62) Each $4.00 



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 recendy introduced intensely deep blue Iris! HM AIS, 

 1963; AM, 1965. 



BLUE GROTTO (Grinter, '59) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



One of the largest Iris we have grown or seen anywhere, the wide 

 falls squarely held and the large standards erect and closed. Color 

 is a uniform shade of light violet-blue, the substance that of fine 

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



BLUE MOUNTAINS (Schreiner, '64) Each $5.00 



Rich, medium violet blue of exceptionally large size and perfect 

 form. A clump of this Iris loaded with huge blooms on heavy, well 

 branched stalks, was the talk of visitors at the Denver A.I.S. con- 

 vention. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1965. 



BLUE SAPPHIRE (Schreiner, '53) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



"Heavenly blue" is a phrase befitting this ruffled addition to an 

 increasingly popular color class. Lighter in tone than many others, 

 with a glowing gold beard it is large in size, on tall well branched 

 stalks which defy both wind and rain. HM AIS, 1954; AM, 1956; 

 Dykes Medal, 1958. See page 43. 



BLUSHING BEAUTY (Nayd, '64) Each $7.50 



A warm white with hafts of definite blush pink and a bright coral 

 red beard. Apple Valley is in its parentage. Contrast of colors is 

 striking, the very large blossoms well spaced on stems over three 

 feet in height as it grows here. HM AIS, 1965. 



BRASILIA (Schreiner, '61) Each $1.50 



Deep but very brilliant henna-brown-red. This is a new and striking 

 color in Iris, much more lively than others in the brownish color 

 tones. It is large, well proportioned and beautifully branched. 

 Height 35 inches. HM AIS, 1962. See page 31. 



BRASS ACCENTS (Schreiner, '59) Each $1.50 



Golden cofl^ee-brown, regal in carriage, huge in size, ideal in form, 

 40 inches in height. We regard this seedling of Inca Chief as a 

 leader amongst the host of beautiful brown Iris now available. 

 HM AIS, 1959 AM, 1961. Shown on page 11. 



BRAVADO (Hall, '59) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



Deepest golden yellow, ruffled and with wide petals. There is 

 something about this flower— heaviness of texture, metallic glisten, 

 or uniform depth of golden richness— that draws instant attention in 

 the garden or on the show table. Height 33-36 inches. HM AIS, 

 1959; AM, 1963. Shown on page 53. 



BRAVE VIKING (Hinkle, '62) Each $2.50

 and will last up to 5 or 6 days. 38 inches. Midseason. 



CHRISTMAS ANGEL 



BREATHLESS (Schreiner, '62) Each $3.50 



A new flamingo pink of large size and spreading form, medium in 

 tone but vivid and alive. The flowers are beautifully tailored, the 

 petals waved, and the hafts are flushed with peach. Coral beard. 

 38 inches. HM AIS, 1963. 



BRIGHT CLOUD (O. Brown, '61) Each $2.00 



With white standards and blue falls this descendant of Melodrama 

 has more and much sharper color contrast than its parent. It does 

 carry the extra wide falls and moderate ruffling, however. Huge 

 blossoms, on 36-40 inch stems. Midseason; long-lasting. HM AIS, 

 1962. See page 58. 



BRIGHT HERALD (Wills, '64) Each $7.50 



A bright rose and white amoena. Standards are creamy white, 

 broad and full; falls are a lively shade of rose-red with coppery 

 overlay. This is an attractive big flower in a color combination 

 quite rarely seen. 36 inches. 



BRIGHTSIDE (Schreiner, '61) Each $3.00 



Pale, shimmering lemon yellow that is huge, frothy and ivory 

 smooth. The broad petals are heavily laced at the edges. Fine form 

 and branching are added good features of this sparkhng new Iris. 

 HM AIS, 1962. 



BRIGHT FORECAST (Hamblin, '60) Each $2.00 



Ruffles and lace in blazing golden yellow. The heavy beard is deep 

 orange. Petals are broad and possess the quality of hammered and 

 crimped metal. A mass of brilliant gold in the garden. 34 inches; 

 quite late. HM AIS, 1960; AM, 1964. 



BRILLIANT STAR (Hall, '61) Each $2.50 



We regard this as the finest red-bearded white we have grown or 

 seen. It is very broad petaled, full and rather rounded but not 

 drooping, beautifully branched and very large. Quite early, 36 

 inches. HM AIS, 1962. See page 9.
