Maple Valley Iris Gardens 
AT DAWNING (Kirk. 1935) M. 36 in. A 
flower of rare charm, a blend of pink, 
white and rose as is sometimes seen in 
the eastern sky “at dawning”. Large, 
well spaced flowers of excellent substance 
and form. H. M., 1936. $7.50 
AUBADE (Con. 1931) M. 36 in. The 
“Dawn Song” again reflects the lovely 
morning colors. Never were rose and 
pink more softly blended into apricot. 
Large, finely formed flowers with smooth 
luminous finish. 75c 
AUREX (Nich. 1932) M. 38 in. A clear 
and brilliant variegata, with bright col¬ 
onial buff stands and deep crimson pur¬ 
ple falls, edged with buff. 40c 
AVONDALE (H. P. Sass 1934) M. 38 in. 
A deep rich glowing red, tinged with cop¬ 
per and kindled with a gleam of gold in 
the center. A most spectacular beauty 
that glows like a lighted lamp. H. M., 
1936. $2.00 
BALDWIN (H. P. Sass 1926) M. 40 in. 
A large, tall, manganese violet self whose 
unusual form and color tone make it 
stand out in the garden and in one’s 
memory. A best seller after ten years, 
without ever taking an award. 35c 
BALLET GIRL ( H. P. Sass-Sch. 1935) 
Most charming and individual is this 
dainty dancing lady, in her crisp, flaring 
ballet costume of fresh clear pink. $8.00 
BEAU SABREUR (Wmsn. 1930) M. L. 
34 in. A richly blended variegata that 
often steals the show from newer stars. 
Its deep yellow stands are flushed with 
a hint of the rich red velvet of the falls. 
Neither very large nor tall, it has won¬ 
derful garden value. 25c 
BEOTIE (Cay. 1932) M. 36 in. A subtle 
blending of soft gray and flax blue makes 
this new French sort a most appealing 
novelty. The large, full, beautifully 
formed flowers are suffused with a 
metalic lavender sheen and sprinkled 
with gold dust. It is tall, well branched, 
vigorous and free flowering. C. M., 
France, 1932. $3.00 
BEOWULF (Sch. 1936) E. 32 in. A 
remarkably effective combination of 
brown and deep maroon is this rich and 
sumptuous beauty. Not tall but well pro¬ 
portioned and outstanding. $12.50 
BLACKAMOOR (J. Sass 1932) M. 38 in. 
A well named iris, of so deep a violet 
blue as to be almost black, even to the 
beard. One of the very best dark purple 
iris of medium price. H. M., 1931. 75c 
BLACK WARRIOR (Nich. 1934) M. 38 in. 
A large, flaring, deep blackish violet self 
with dark beard and haft which intensify 
the color. $1.00 
BLACK WINGS (Kirk. 1931) M. 36 in. 
One of the first black purple iris intro¬ 
duced, it is still the favorite of many. It 
is hard to say which one is best as each 
has individuality and charm. The A. I. S. 
has given Black Wings an H. M. in 1931, 
an A. M. in 1933 and it was second 
choice for Dykes Medal in 1935. 75c 
BLITHESOME (Con. 1935) M. 40 in. A 
singularly lovely iris of creamy white 
overlaid with glistening gold. Its clear 
pure color and crisp winsome form make 
it indeed a “blithesome thing”. Excellent 
in form, substance and carriage. $10.00 
BLUE AND GOLD (Essig. 1931) E. M. 
42 in. A tall and stately blue of medium 
tone, with a fine gold beard. 35c 
BLUE BANNER (Kirk. 1929) M. 34 in. 
A brilliant, electric blue bicolor that 
causes much favorable comment. A vivid 
blue that carries well. 20c 
BLUE CHINTZ (Burton 1932) M. 38 in. 
As crisp and fresh as a piece of English 
chintz which indeed it is. A white plicata 
heavily marked with clear blue, very re¬ 
freshing in tone. 50c 
BLUE HILL (H. P. Sass 1931) M. 32 in. 
A fine clear light blue of excellent garden 
value. Not large and tall, compared to 
some of the newer ones, but a favorite 
wherever grown for its fine color and 
form, silky texture, white beard and 
throat. H. M., 1932. 35c

40 in. A clear, pure violet blue self, with

1936. $6.00 
BLUE VELVET (Loomis 1929) M. 36 in. 
An iris of the deepest, richest and most 
velvety blue—no garden is complete 
without it. 35c 
BLUE WAVES (H. P. Sass 1933) M. 34

mass planting look like waves on a deep 
blue sea. 20c
