ARABIAN PRINCE (Simp. '32) Bright garnet red with rich vel¬ 
vety falls — a brilliancy very becoming to an Arabian Prince. 
Each stalk has many fine-shaped blooms. 30". $.50 
BLACK WINGS (Kirk. '34) A worthy son of a worthy father (Black 
Beauty). The first of the black irises to be introduced, and still 
a good one. 30". $.50 
ASHTORETH (Beau. '32) A tall large medium yellow that is sure 
to grow and bloom profusely. Fine for massing. 36". 3 for $1.00 
It's a buy at $.50 
AT DAWNING (Kirk. '35) When the dawn breaks with such an 
entrancing medley of soft colors, even the birds sing with added 
joy and we are glad to continue the panegyrics throughout the day. 
The color effect is an arbutus pink; the pink-lavender standards, 
edged with pale gold blend most charmingly with the rose-pink 
falls, also gold-edged. Blooms are large, of fine substance and well 
spaced. Especially pleasing in mass, with pale yellows. 36". 
H.M. '36. $5.00 
ATT YE EUGENIA (Snow '36) Stays and stays for days and days! 
This smooth enameled flower appears to have been carved from 
real ivory. The large exquisitely shaped flowers have a very heavy 
texture, weathering rain and sun alike. A bright gold beard en¬ 
hances the soft coloring. 38". H.M. '37. $4.50 
AUBADE (Conn. '30) You, too, will join us in singing this "Dawn 
Song" the whole day through, when you see how softly pink and 
yellow are blended together in this large iris of fine form. $.50 
AUBANEL (Cay. '35) Distinct in coloring are the standards of 
shrimp pink, tinted heliotrope and flushed yellow at the 
base, and the falls of the same tones with a lilac area at 
the center. 48". C.M. '35. $15.00 
AVONDALE (H. Sass '34) Picture a bright copper-red iris; now 
place a light inside to intensify its coloring so that it becomes the 
brightest spot in the garden — behold Avondale! A rich orange 
beard sets off the velvety falls. It's a large, glowing flame! 38". 
H.M. '36. $1.50 
AZTEC (Kirk. '35) This is a large brilliant copper hued iris. Al¬ 
though a sister of Copper Lustre, it is more red and belongs to the 
Indian tribe. Aztec has golden tan above and velvety red below, 
with copper tones in the middle. He grows fast! 36". $3.00 
BALDWIN (H. Sass '27) A giant violet purple flower that still 
amazes with its clear bright color, good size and strong stem. 
3 for $.50, $.25 
BALLET GIRL (Sass '35) A danseuse, clad in flowing dainty 
pink robes, fluttering lightly in the breezes, while she gracefully 
holds out her flaring falls. The pale pink blush over all enhances 
this ballerino's beauty. Let her dance for you. 38". $4.00 
BEOTIE (Cay. '32) Have you ever compared the slate blue of 
this iris with a Persian cat? We did — and just had to name our 
cat Beotie. We claim that this iris is just as good a mixer as our 
cat — not a bit fussy. Try this neutral shade with yellows, reds, 
or — what color is your cat? 38". $.85 
BLITHESOME (Conn. '33) A winsome creamy white iris with 
broad full standards and semi-flaring falls, wide at the haft and 
overlaid with gold. Falls and standards alike are noticeably well 
rounded and perfectly poised; the blooms are profuse on tall sturdy, 
well branched stems. It succumbs neither to wind or rain — this 
creamy white, or, as some say, pale yellow iris — we say "don't 
miss it!" 40". $5.00 
BLUE BANNER (Kirk. '29) Run up the banner and salute the light 
blue frills as they wave gently on high, and admire the rich velvety 
blue in the center of the lower petals. 36". 3 for $.50, $.25 
BLUE DUSK (Reib. '36) Dusk, the hour of romance, just before 
the blue sky fades into a mysterious gray. Blue Dusk, the iris with 
sentimental soft blue satin standards, and mysterious dusky blue 
velvet falls — all day, we may have this romantic sight in our 
garden. 38". $2.00 
BLUE JUNE (Don. '34) What is so rare as the Blue in June — then, 
if ever, comes a perfect iris. Endearing itself to our hearts is this 
pure blue self, of broad petals with semi-flaring falls and a golden 
beard. 40". $3.00 
BLUE MONARCH (I. Sass '33) For an inexpensive blue — a prize 
winner! A perfect light blue self, a shade darker than Shining 
Waters, and with a white beard. This iris has large, finely propor¬ 
tioned blooms on tall stalks. A pertinent comment of one of the 
judges: — "It looks like a good all-time blue to me." H.M. '33. 
3 for $2.00, $1.00 
BLUE PETER (White '36) Blue Peter flies on high! In glory ride 
these blue-violet standards, and the falls wave gracefully, dis¬ 
playing a lustrous prune-purple velvet color with a black sheen 
over all — an unusual purple for the falls of an iris. We salute this 
glorious flower and admire its erectness and good branching. 
42". $5.00 
BLUE TRIUMPH (Grint. '34) It still triumphs — no pale blue iris 
has conquered this one yet. The large flaring velvety falls, and 
the smooth standards reflect great depths of luminous light blue. 
42". A.M. '36. $3.00 
BLUE VELVET (Loom. '29) 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". 3 for $.50, $.25 
BOULDERADO (And. '37) The very large flowers have arched 
standards of golden bronze and broad flaring falls of apri¬ 
cot, blended with old rose. 36' '. $6.50 
BRIDAL VEIL (Mitch. '36) What white is so pure as that of a 
Bridal veil? No shadows to overcast its glory — only a clear tiny 
gold edge at the haft, that serves to emphasize the refined clarity 
of the bridal flower. 36". $5.00 
BEOWULF (Schr. '36) Rich brown standards and smooth maroon 
falls that have a soft brown margin. A golden beard glows in the 
center of the flower. A wealth of luscious, velvety texture gives 
this iris the warmth of the purple reds and the glow of the coppers. 
An epic poem, Beowulf! An epic iris? — Time will tell. Early bloom¬ 
ing. 32". $6.00 
BLACK BEAUTY (Kirk. '34) Black Beauty, the horse, won the 
hearts of the multitude. Thus does this rich indigo-toned iris self 
win us to its side, acclaiming both the well rounded form and the 
excellent stance. 30' '. $1.00 
BROWN BETTY (White '35) A medley of cinnamon brown, Prus¬ 
sian red and soft lavender, blended into an entrancingly smooth 
mixture of color. An interesting iris with flaring falls and well 
formed standards. 43' '. $2.00 
BRUNHILDE (Salb. '34) Brunhilde, the Queen of them all! True 
royalty clad in her regal dark violet-blue robes of exquisite texture. 
The intense color is made even more prominent by a deep rich 
blue beard. The floriferous blooms spread a royal dignity over the 
garden. Excellent substance, and everywhere a good performer. 
One of the most widely adored iris. 38". A.M. '37. $3.00
