Prior Nicholls Introductions 
The earlier introductions that Colonel Nicholls put out are with outstanding well the test of time, 
most of them still being the best of their color range, notably Valor, Aurex, Red Robe. Crysoro, 
Gleam, Spark, Boadicea, Solitaire, Tokay, and Sea Dawn. Their clarity and novelty of colors, 
coupled with fine growing qualities, is fast gaining them much popularity, and will keep them 
outstanding for a long time to come: 
AUREX ( Nich . 1932) 38" A very large, tall 
brilliant Variegata of Ambassadeur size, 
height, and general shape of bloom, but with 
broader segments, and good branching, 
which its parent Ambassadeur lacks. S. 
bright clear yellow, medium deep, nicely 
domed and firmly held; the Falls are velvety 
blackish crimson purple, with a narrow, 
sharply defined edging of buff, and a brilliant 
yellow beard, lie whole flower has fine 
lasting substance, and finished form. Aurex 
is definitely superior to Beau Sabreur, 
Decennial, and King Juba, and is without 
doubt finer than Claude Aureau or any of the 
other recently introduced variegatas. Fra¬ 
grant, and a strong grower.$2.00 
AUTAUGA (<Collected by A. II. Nicholls , 
Alabama, 1930) 30" Native Beardless. A 
very bright and carrying rose pink. Very 
floriferous and a mass of pink that is very 
beautiful in contrast with its deep green 
foliage. It is a form of Iris Carolina, and as 
perfectly hardy, growing strongly and 
blooming freely. It was greatly admired by 
all who saw it blooming last season. Stock 
quite limited.$1 *00 
BOADICEA ( Nich. 1931) 38" A beautiful 
blend of soft yellow flushed light clear pink 
in both Falls and Standards, with a flush of 
bright sky blue at center of Falls. A good 
grower, very floriferous, bearing a mass of 
delightfully ruffled flowers. Boadicea is be¬ 
tween Vesper Gold and Tuscany Gold in 
tone, but its soft colors have a more lively 
and vivid glow than any of the other blends. 
Its colors are so bewitchingly beautiful that 
it charms every one. .$ .50 
CRYSORO (Nich. 1931) 26" Intermediate. 
Crysoro has the clearest, deepest, most 
luminous yellow color of any bearded Iris. 
It is absolutely free from the old gold that 
gives the deep tone to Prairie Gold and 
other deep yellows, and is such a pleasing 
color that every one exclaims with pleasure 
at sight of its mass of deep glowing yellow. 
Its blooms are very large and ruffled, of good 
shape and fine substance. It is a good grower, 
very floriferous, and has a long period of 
bloom. Crysoro sets a new standard for deep 
clear yellow for both Intermediate and Tall 
Bearded Irises. H. M., A. I. S. 1932.. $1.00 
FIRE GOD ( Nicholls 1929) 40" S. reddish 
bronze, shading to honey yellow at base; 
F. deep brown garnet. In mass this gives a 
fiery brown that is very striking. By far the 
best brownest toned Iris.$ .25 
GUEAM ( Nicholls 1929) 45" A beautiful pale 
sky blue self, lighted up by a brilliant 
orange beard. Purer and more refined blue 
than Mary Barnett or any other of this 
color class, Gleam has a large bloom of per¬ 
fect shape and lasting substance. It is hardy, 
a strong grower, with well branched stalks 
that produce a wealth of bloom. Considered 
by many to be the best of its class.$ .25 
MAYGOLD (Nich. 1931) 28" Intermediate. 
Maygold has the same clear luminous tone 
as Crysoro, but in a light beautiful canary 
yellow. It has large smooth blooms of ex¬ 
cellent substance and fine shape, borne in 
great profusion over a long period. It is well 
branched and a good grower. Both Crysoro 
and Maygold far surpass the older Inter-
