CLAUDE AUREAU 
ANNA MARIE CAYEUX (Cayeux 1928) M. 36". 
S.F. Large flowers of very splendid form and 
heavy texture. S. lilac pink shot gray. Falls a 
metallic blue on gray, resembling the irridescent 
coloring on a pigeon’s throat. A recent good de¬ 
scription called it a dark opal. Because of its 
heavy texture the flower stands up for days in 
any kind of weather. It is unquestionably one of 
the finest varieties in commerce and we recom¬ 
mend it to our customers who want an exquisitely 
beautiful variety of unique coloring. 
Certificate of Merit, S.N.H.F. 1928. $3.00 
ASHTORETH (Beaudry 1930) 40" S.F. A very 
large flower of pale, lustrous yellow. Standards 
domed with wide, semi-flaring falls. This variety 
met with much praise at the Boston show in 1930 
BLACKAMOOR (J. Sass 1932) 
M. 40" S.F. The largest, darkest 
and richest blue purple self we 
have seen. When fully expanded, 
it lightens a trifle, but remains 
one of the best of dark seifs. The 
flower is large and the falls flare 
widely, and are a bit deeper in 
color than the standards. A 
brilliant blue beard contributes to its color depth. 
H.M.A.I.S. 1931. $2.50 
BLUE BANNER (Kirkland 1929) L. 36". A new 
and exquisite color. S. medium lavender blue, 
beautifully frilled. F. a deeper rich velvety blue, 
shading to a pale blue at the edges. The general 
effect is a very bright electric blue. Outstanding. 
$ .50 
BLUE HILL (H. Sass 1930) 40". A superior blue 
iris of distinct character, that will be very popular 
when known, because of its vigorous growth and 
free blooming habits, as well as its fine color, 
which is a much darker shade of blue than Sen¬ 
sation. The branching and placing of the flowers 
is one of its fine features and the striking white 
beard adds much to the beauty of the flower. 
H.M.A.I.S. 1932. * $1.50 
and it is said to be the finest yel¬ 
low of its shade. Stock limited. 
H.M.A.I.S. 1930. $4.50 
AUBADE (Connell 1931) M. 
31" S.F. A large finely formed 
flower with a smooth luminous 
finish; standards a delicate yel¬ 
low; F. clear yellow flushed soft 
rose; style arms and beard, pale 
gold. A flower of great distinc¬ 
tion and beauty. The name 
Aubade, meaning the Dawn 
Song, is most appropriate. 
$5.00 
BLACK WINGS (Kirkland 1931) 
M. 40" V.F. This striking new 
iris was one of last season’s 
sensations in our garden. The 
flower is large and of heavy 
texture; a deep midnight blue 
self, with a frosty black luster, 
evenly laid over the widely flar¬ 
ing falls. The opening buds are 
velvety black. It is vigorous, 
well branched and has a delicious 
fragrance. A magnificent intro¬ 
duction that is really outstand¬ 
ing. 
H.M.A.I.S. 1931. $4.50
