APRICOT GLOW (Wiesner 1937) M. 36 
in. A fresh, smooth blend of creamy 
pink and apricot tones. It is not a large 
iris but its delicious coloring makes it 
a joy in the border especially among the 
columbines. It is a most pleasing cut 
flower and is exquisite arranged with 
such blues as Aline. It is so prolific and 
free blooming that a plant soon makes a 
mass of color. R. 83, 1938. 
$1.00, 3 for $2.00 
ASHTORETH (Beudry 1932) M. 36 in. A 
very good low priceu yellow self of ex¬ 
cellent form and substance. The flowers 
are quite large and the color deep and 
clear. Not well enough known for so 
good a hardy yellow. It. 85, 1936. 50c 
AT DAWNING (Kirkland 1935) M. 36 in. 
There is no other iris even similar to 
this lovely pink amoena. Amoena means 
pleading and At Dawning is especially so 
with its clear creamy white standards 
softly flushed with pink and its wide flar¬ 
ing falls of arbutus coloring. The large 
beautifully formed flowers are gracefully 
carried on the tall, well branched stalks 
and the whole plant is most satisfactory 
in hardiness and growth. H. M. 1936. A. 
M. 1938. Per. R. 88, 1937. $3.00 
AVONDALE (H. P. Sass 1934) M. 38 in. 
A rich deep red iris like very ripe straw¬ 
berries in color. The coppery gold of the 
'heart and crests makes it glow like a 
lighted lamp. It is hardy and free bloom¬ 
ing but not very prolific. A real beauty 
in any garden. H. M., 1936. Per. R. 89, 
1937. $1.00 
BALLET GIRL (H. P. Sass-Sch. 1935) M. 
36 in. A fresh and dainty flower of al¬ 
most pure crabapple pink coloring, with 
the poise and grace of a dancing girl. It 
looks fragile and delicate, but in reality 
lasts well in any kind of weather. It 
grows well and blooms freely. Per. R. 
88, 1938. $2.00 
BARWOOD (Williams 1936) M. 40 in. A 
tall and stately iris of excellent form and 
rich coloring. The standards are clear 
lose red and the falls deep red toward 
maroon. A sturdy grower with plenty of 
bloom. This good iris has been some¬ 
what overlooked. $2.00 
BELMONT (Williams 1938) A wonder¬ 
fully clear blue iris that will find many 
admirers as scon as it becomes better 
known. It is a shade darker than Wav- 
erly and of an even purer blue. The large, 
beautifully frilled flowers have wide 
semiflaring falls. The stalk is tall and 
well branched, the plant sturdy, generous 
with bloom. Not yet rated. $6.00 
BEOTIE (Cay. 1932) M. 36 in. An odd 
but intriguing blend of pearl gray and 
blue, so unusual and so smoothly blended 
that one does not forget it. The large, 
full, beautifully formed flowers are most 
artistically carried. The plants are hardy 
as are most of the French introductions, 
and bloom freely. R. 84, 1937. 
50c, 3 for $1.00 
BEOWULF (Schreiner 1936) E. M. 22 in. 
A rich combination of red and brown, a 
larger and more velvety Grace Sturte- 
vant, with better form. Should be placed 
at the front of a border as it is not tall 
but quite well branched. It blooms freely 
on strong plants. Per. R. 86, 1938. $3.00 
BLACK WINGS (Kirk. 1931) M. 36 in. A 
well named beauty of midnight blue col¬ 
oring. One of the most popular irises in 
any garden. It has excellent form, 
growth and blooming habits. H. M. 1931. 
A. M. 1933. R. 88, 1937. 50c 
BLAZING STAR (Nicholls 1934) M. 38 
in. A very good rich yellow that made 
such a good showing in our garden last 
year that many visitors asked about 
the new yellow. The flowers are large 
and well formed, the branching good and 
the growth excellent. One of the very 
best medium priced large yellow irises. 
50c 
BLITHESOME (Connell 1935) E. M. 40 in. 
A warm creamy white with falls heavily 
overlaid with yellow, giving the effect of 
a yellow bicolor. Its excellent form and 
branching together with its unusually 
heavy substance make it a most dependa¬ 
ble early light yellow. The plants are 
especially strong and hardy. Per. R. 87, 
1937. $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
BLUE DANUBE (Meyer 1932) M. 32 in. 
England has sent us some very good blue 
irises and this is one of them. It is a 
medium tone of blue and quite pure in 
coloring, with a smooth, fine texture and 
pleasing form. The stalk is symmetrically 
branched and the plants perfectly hardy 
and free flowering, those imported from 
England blooming normally the following 
spring. Not yet rated in America. $5.00 
BLUE PETER (White 1936) M. 42 in. 
One of the richest of the very dark irises 
and very blue in tone, even brilliant. 
The tall stalks have three well spaced 
branches on which to carry the large 
beautifully formed flowers. The beard 
is dark blue tipped with orange, and 
there is no white visible in the center 
of the flower nor any fading of color 
toward the edges. It seems to adapt 
itself well to our climate. R. 88, 1938.
