ATTYE EUGENIA (Snow 1936) This iris qf smooth ivory 
has received sreat acclaim in the mid-west for the 
past two years. The large flower has a very heavy 
texture and the soft coloring is enhanced by a bright 
gold beard. Growth and branching are both fine. 38". 
$7.50 
AUBADE (Conn. 1930) (Dawn Song) We sing it at dawn, 
we sing it at twilight, we sing it all the day long. Never were 
rose and pink more softly blended into apricot. 36". $.65 
AUREX (Nich. 1932) A variegata that is not as tall or as 
large as the new introductions, but that attracts attention because 
of the bright and pleasing combination of buff and purple. 
Fast growing. 36". $.75 
AVONDALE (H. P. Sass 1934) Again, our planting of this 
iris was one of the high lights in the garden, and our visitors 
like it as well as we do. A copper-red, so bright that it must 
be lighted from within, with velvety F. and an intense orange 
beard. 38". H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $2.50 
AZTEC (Kirk. 1935). One of the new “coppers” from Dr. 
Kirkland’s garden. This is a sister of the renowned Copper 
Lustre; is much like Timagami, but is at least ten days later. The 
S. are a golden-tan; the F. are a shaded velvety red; both have 
copper tones at the base. Brilliant and fast growing. 36". $5.00 
BALLET GIRL (Sass-Schr. 1935) Dancing into our hearts 
and into our gardens, she charms us with her dainty pink frock 
and graceful poise. All in softest blush pink with, of course, 
flaring skirts, which are heavy in material, not gauzy. 38". $8.00 
BEOTIE (Cay. 1932) Perhaps you passed this by, as you 
walked down the garden path; but upon your return, you 
found yourself unexpectedly intrigued as you studied this 
restful grey-blue iris, and realized that it was a perfect foil 
for many of the light blends. The S. are gold-flecked. 38". 
C.M., S.N.H.F. $2.00 
BEOWULF (Schr. 1936) “Epic in theme and in tone,” Beowulf 
comes to us as the first maroon iris. A richly glowing 
tone-poem, the large flower has S. of rich brown, and 
exceedingly velvety F. of maroon, margined with the 
brown. Early blooming. 32". $12.50 
BLACKAMOOR (J. Sass 1932) The bloom and beard are 
so dark a violet as to be almost black. 36". H.M., A.I.S., 1931. 
$.75 
BLACK BEAUTY (Kirk. 1934) Beauty may be only skin 
deep, according to the old adage, but Black Beauty is good 
all the way through — flower, substance growth — everything! 
This is our choice among the blacks. 30". $1.50 
BLACK WINGS (Kirk. 1934) A worthy son of a worthy 
father (Black Beauty). The first of the black irises to be intro¬ 
duced, and still a good one. H.M., A.I.S., 1933. $.75 
BLITHESOME (Conn. 1933) This white and gold iris is the 
perfection of poised grace. The exceptionally large, well- 
formed flower has broad, full S. of creamy white; the semi- 
flaring F. are overlaid with gold, except for the lighter edges. 
Call it either a creamy white, or a very pale yellow — in either 
case, the Kelloggs call it perfection! 40". $10.00 
BLUE DUSK (Reib. 1936) Dusk, the restful time, when the 
turmoil of the day is over; Blue Dusk, the iris that rests 
our eyes with its marvelous deep blue. The S. are of 
soft blue satin; the F. of dusky blue velvet. The beard 
is blue, tipped with gold at the heart. 38". $3.50 
BLUE JUNE (Don. 1934) Overhead, the blue sky of a June 
day; in front of us, a sensationally blue iris, a flower of broad 
petals with semi-flaring F. and a golden beard. 40". $10.00 
BLUE MONARCH (J. Sass 1933) The leader, here, of the 
light blue irises. A perfect self, slightly darker than Shining 
Waters. The blooms are large, finely proportioned; the beard 
is white; the foliage is tall. 42". H.M., A.I.S., 1933. $2.00 
BLUE PETER (White 1936) We’re ready to go — Blue 
Peter is flying! All other dark blue irises would do 
well to trim their sails and prepare for a hard race. 
The S. are violet; the F. “like pieces of lustrous, prune- 
purple velvet with a black sheen.” The beard is dark, 
also center of the flower and the edges of the petals. 42". $7.50 
BLUE TRIUMPH (Grint. 1934) Triumphs everywhere! You’ll 
say it’s the finest pale blue you have ever seen — the judges do! 
Large blooms, flaring F., heavy substance, fine branching, all 
combine to make this a perfect iris. 42". A.M., A.I.S., 1936. 
$6.50 
BLUE VELVET (Loom. 1929) Dark and fine, rich in the 
velvety finish, this iris maintains its place as the best seller among 
the low-priced dark blue irises. 36". $.50 
BRIDAL VEIL (Mitch. 1936) (Introduced last year as Caris- 
sima.) The name is self-explanatory — pure white, 
with no blue or yellow cast. “This clarity is emphasized 
by a narrow edging of clear citron yellow, that ex¬ 
tends a short distance down the F. The branching is 
good. 36". $7.00 
BRUNHILDE (Salb. 1934) Brunhilde the Queen! Last year 
we hailed you as queen of the dark blues; this year, because of 
your magnificent performance on the iris stage, we hail thee as 
Queen of the Iris Worldl To say that this is a finely finished dark 
blue self, with no white in the throat and with a blue beard, 
gives the reader no conception of the sheer breath-taking 
loveliness of this iris. The flowers are large, with semi-flaring 
F.; the form is perfect; the substance heavy; the stalk grand — 
what else can one say? “The iris that you won’t forget, that you 
surely must have.” 38". H.M., A.I.S., 1936 $5.00 
BUECHLEY’S GIANT (Buech. 1933) It’s colossal! A huge 
bloom on a giant stalk with heavy foliage. The S. are crisp 
light blue,- the F. are deeper in tone. 40". $.75 
BURNING BRONZE (Ayres 1934) The outstanding intro¬ 
duction of 1934; a regal, dark red self, almost afire with the 
bronze suffusion. The large flowers have semi-flaring F. and 
are of good substance. The rich, bright color leaves a burning 
desire to possess this iris! 40". A.M., A.I.S., 1936. $7.50 
BYZANTIUM (Ayres 1933) It is fitting that an iris, so fine of 
line, so colorfully blended of gold and blue, should be named 
for a city so colorful in historic records. The iris is a tan-brown, 
overlaid with blue, with an iridescent blue flush on the F.; 
and it does not fade in the sun. 32". $7.50 
CABELLERO (Nich. 1935) A gallant fellow! He holds his 
red head high! The domed S. are red-lavender; the rosy-red F. 
have a satiny sheen. The large flowers are shapely, of good 
substance, on well-branched stems. 44". $4.50 
CADMIA (Emig. 1934) A gracious and lovely yellow, clear 
light primrose in tone, with large weather-resistant blooms on 
stems of medium height. 30". $2.00
