New and Rare Varieties 
ABORA, (Hill, 1931). S. pleroma vio¬ 
let, arching, cupped; F. pansy violet 
to mulberry purple, velvety. A rich 
red-violet self with heavy texture of 
great smoothness, the falls quite 
horizontal. 36 in. H.M., A.I.S. 
1930 .$1.00 
ADOBE, (Wmsn., 1932). A lovely, 
large well-rounded flower. S. a warm 
buff shading to red; F. Pompeian Red 
with buff margin. An unusual blend 
suggesting the name. $2.00 
AL-LU-WEE, (H. P. Sass, 19 32). One 
of the new types of tall, large flower¬ 
ed variegatas. It approaches the 
Claude Aureau type, but is brighter 
in color and taller but not so large, 
although a big Iris. It gives a bril¬ 
liant effect due to the clean contrast 
between the standards which are of 
clearer coloring than most of the new 
large-flowered variegata types, and 
the solid colored falls. 40 in. . .$2.00 
ANNE MARIE CAYEUX, (Cayeux, 
1928). A flower of a wonderfully 
smooth texture and appearance; col¬ 
or a soft slaty heliotrope, the falls 
having a bluish blaze in the center. 
The flowers are very large, perfectly 
formed and an unusual, thick leath¬ 
ery substance. A favorite in our 
gardens. 36 in. $2.00 
ATTITASH, (Dennett, 1933). A very 
beautiful Iris. Same wonderful col¬ 
oring as Asia but with the more open 
type of falls. Tall, strong grower 
with flowers of great substance. 
Under observation for three years and 
still no faults can be found with it. 
Stock limited. (Originator’s Descrip¬ 
tion) .$1.00 
AUBADE, (Connell, 1931). A beauti¬ 
ful yellow bicolor with rosy falls 
margined with the same yellow as 
the standards. S. a delicate yellow; 
F. clear yellow flushed soft rose. 3 6 
in. $3.50 
AUREX, (Nich., 1932). S. bright clear 
yellow, medium deep, nicely domed 
and firmly held; F. velvety blackish 
crimson purple, with a narrow, sharp¬ 
ly defined edging of buff, and a bril¬ 
liant yellow beard. Another of the 
large flowering new variegatas that 
comes to us with high recommenda¬ 
tions. 38 in. $2.50 
BLACKAMOOR, (J. Sass, 1932). One 
of the finest dark blue purples yet 
introduced, the deep blue effect in¬ 
tensified by a blue beard after the 
manner of Harmony. Almost black 
when newly opened, lightening to 
blackish violet of uniform coloring. 
36 in. H.M., A.I.S., 1931.$1.50 
BLACK WINGS, (Kirkland, 1931). 
Another of the dark blue purples or 
“blacks.” S. deep Fluorite violet; F. 
deeper Fluorite violet, with black 
veins, and so very velvety that at 
some angles they are absolutely black. 
A sensational new Iris. 36 in. H.M., 
A.I.S., 1931.$2.00

ers on 40 to 4 5-inch stems, low

fine Iris. (Sass).$5.00 
BLUE VELVET, (Loomis, 1929). A 
clear, rich, beautiful, very dark blue. 
The standards are as dark as the 
falls, and almost as velvety. One of 
the richest dark colored varieties. 42 
in. $1.00 
BRONZE BEACON. 50 in. LATE. A 
fine new variety with glowing golden- 
bronze standards and velvety Indian- 
lake falls . $2.00 
BUECHLEY GIANT, (Buechley, 1932). 
Considered by many as the largest, 
and the best formed large Iris on the 
market. Not only is it a gigantic 
Iris but it is also a very beautiful 
flower being about the shade of Lord 
of June. Its form and habits are 
perfect. S. erect and beautifully 
formed; F. large and flaring. Height 
in proportion to the size of the 
flower .$1.00 
CLARA NOYES, (H. P. Sass, 1931). 
Here is one of the finest of the blend¬ 
ed types of Iris, the mingling of col¬ 
ors in which make descriptions dif¬ 
ficult and inadequate. It is a bril¬ 
liant mingling of red, orange, and 
yellow. In terms of Ridgeway: 
S. Etruscan red; F. yellow ground 
deepening to Etruscan red at the tips, 
heavily veined Van Dyke red. An 
entirely different color not found in 
any other Irises. 36 in. H.M., A.I.S.,
