BLUE SAPPHIRE (Schre/ner, '53j 



Each $3.50 



"Heavenly blue" is a phrase befitting this new 

 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 and well-branched stalks which def)' 

 both wind and rain. It makes one of the fin- 

 est clumps in any garden. HM AIS, 1954; AM. 

 1956. 



BLUE SHIMMER fj. Sos%, '42) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



An entirely different plicata. Clean, sparkling 

 white W'ith an all-over pattern of clear blue 

 stippling. The blue seems to be peppered on 

 the white background in an even manner, 

 rather than the familiar buttonhole-stitch 

 style. The flowers are extremely large and 

 full. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1944. See page 39. 



BRIAR ROSE (Hall, '55) Each $10.00 



From pink breeding came this deep rose-to- 

 raspberry affair! While the picture does not 

 show it, freshly opened flowers sport a small 

 blue blaze just below the beard. This dis- 

 appears on the mature blossom. Very tall and 

 very late, with a geranium-red beard. Shown 

 on page 47. 



BRYCE CANYON (Kleinsorge, '44) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A distinct and warm shade of henna-copper, 

 self colored and so named because of the 

 similar colors found in the rock formations 

 of one of America's most famous tourist at- 

 tractions. It has especially broad hafts, large, 

 rounded falls, and finely held standards. The 

 picture on page 36 is an excellent likeness. 

 HM AIS. 1945; AM. 1947. Three feet and 

 over in height. 



BURGUNDY ROSE (Hall, '46) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Ruffled dark rosy amethyst, a very strong 

 and bright splash of color in the garden. The 

 falls carry rather prominent veins of darker 

 tone. A self, borne on heavy, well branched 

 stalks just slightly under 3 feet in height. 



BURGUNDY SPLASH (Craig, '49) 



Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



This new plicata is a big Iris, very well form- 

 ed, the standards subdued burgundy-red and 

 the broad falls a creamy yellow ground 

 heavily stippled richer and more intense with 

 burgundy with a 1-inch border. A splash of 

 burgundy indeed! 



BURMESE RUBY (Muhlestein, '49) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Wonderful red color, a deep shade of garnet. 

 This variety needs slight shade because the 

 flowers are apt to bum in hot afternoon sun. 

 3-foot stems, slender foliage. 



CADILLAC (Hall, '56) Each $6.00 



A very early and free blooming rich flamingo 

 pink with red-orange beard. We selected it 

 for introduction 2 years ago but it bloomed 

 so heavily we did not have enough plants. 

 Real pink, named in honor of the Men's 

 Garden Club of Detroit. Large flowers, 36- 

 inch stems. 



CAHOKIA fFaught, '48j Each $1.50 



Large exquisitely formed flowers of light 

 butterfly-blue delicately veined deeper. There 

 is no hint of lavender in the color and the 

 haft is smooth and clean. Bright golden yel- 

 low beard. 42 inches tall, with widely spaced 

 branches. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951.
