7 
BALDWIN (H. Sass 1927) ML. 36". 
An unusually sleek, clean cut, self colored iris of a rich 
manganese violet tone. Because of the splendid carrying- 
power of its clear, rich color, this variety is unexcelled for 
landscape plantings. Splendid in the clump. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
BALLERINE (Vilmorin 1920) L. 40". 
A soft lavender blue bicolor with delightfully fluted petals 
and winsome charm of carriage; a somewhat shy bloomer. 
20c 
BALLET GIRL (H. Sass 1935) EM. 38". 
An iris of distinctive, delicate personality, and poised, 
restrained carriage; in color the filmiest pink imaginable, 
reminding one of the exquisite shades of pink found in 
sweet peas. An iris that grows in one’s appreciation. $5.00 
B EOT IE (Cayeux 1932) ML. 36". 
An exceedingly lustrous flower of metallic elephant grey 
faintly blended French blue. Blooms are large and finely 
formed. $1.00; 3 for $2.25 
BEOWULF (Schreiner 1936) E. 32". 
Rich velvety maroon unmarred by any haft venation.

margining on the unusually broad falls. The rich orange 
beard completes the glowing ensemble. Beowulf is the near¬ 
est true maroon of any iris. (See illustration page 23). 
$ 6.00 
BLACKAMOOR (J. Sass 1932) M. 38".

long buds are most exciting. 40c

indigo-tone. Very lustrous and velvety. $1.00

Dominion heritage. Ideal for foreground plantings. 35c

height this iris is steadily gaining adherents. Few California 
originations are as hardy. 75c

ment Plant this where partial shade will help its delicate

the base of the standards. An exquisite white of delicate 
beauty. $5.00 
BRUNH1LDE (Salbach 1934) M. 40". 
One of the deepest toned seifs, a rich violet-blue, beau¬ 
tiful in its regal simplicity, staunch as the operatic or 
mythological character for whom it was named. $3.50

garden Pictured on page 6. $12.00
