APRICOT GLOW (Wies. '36) A delightful shade of apricot and 
salmon, with a faint rose flush on the falls. This apricot glows in the 
garden picture, and smiles a welcome to all our visitors with its 
cheerful blooms. 36". $1.00 
AT DAWNING (Kirk. '35) Lustrous shades of lavender and pink 
open before our eyes — a luminous sky announcing the dawning 
day. Long rose pink falls and great rose lavender standards, edged 
with gold, fill us with the same unanswerable awe and admiration 
that we feel when we behold the first glow before the sunrise. 36". 
A.M. '38. $2.50 
ATTYE EUGENIA (Snow '36) This smoothly enameled flower ap¬ 
pears to have been carved from real ivory. The large, exquisitely 
modelled blooms are so heavy in texture, so firm of stem, that sun, 
wind or rain fail to conquer or disturb these beautiful ivory statues. 
A bright gold beard enhances the soft coloring. 38". H.M. '37. $2.50 
AUBANEL (Cay. '35) Named for a French poet who knew how to 
blend his words, as this iris knows how to mix its colors of red rasp¬ 
berry tinted heliotrope, with bronze yellow throughout the heart and 
a brilliant blue spot in the center of each fall. Ruffled standards, a 
golden beard and tall stalks. 42". C.M. '35. A.M. '38. $6.00 
AVONDALE (H. Sass '34) In yon deJe a glow is seen — a copper 
red iris bursting into fire. Flames shoot up, darker below, lighter 
above, in an intensity that lights the surrounding landscape. A rich 
orange beard adds brilliance to the central glow. 38". H.M. '36. $1.00 
AZTEC (Kirk. '35) A sister of Copper Lustre, and so a member of 
a fine family. The flower is golden tan and velvety red. $2.00 
BEOTIE (Cay. '32) A Mug-Wump — she sits on the fence like our 
blue Persian cat, unable to decide whether to mix with Black or 
White. You see, this iris is a large, lovely pale blue neutral shade, 
and she goes well with every color. 38". $.50 
BEOWULF (Schr. '36) An iris with rich brown standards and 
smooth maroon falls, that have a soft brown margin. A golden beard 
glows in the center of the flower and lights up the velvety texture. 
32". $3.00 
BLACK BEAUTY (Kirk. '34) "She walks in beauty like the night" — 
purplish black throughout, the rich indigo slightly intensified in the 
velvety falls — a beauty indeed, of charming rounded form and 
medium height. $.75 
BLACK VALOR (Nic. '38) Here's Valor in Black! It is the deepest 
blue-black self, with a blackish beard, domed standards and 
widely flaring, circular, velvety falls. The flower is large, of 
heavy substance, and on a widely branched stalk. 40". $10.00 
BLACK WINGS (Kirk. '34) Noble son of a worthy father. Black 
Beauty. First of the black iris; still a beauty. 30". $.50 
BLITHESOME (Conn. '33) "Hail to the blithe" flower of cream 
and golden hue! The bloom is creamy white with gold suffusion on 
the falls. The falls and standards alike are noticeably well-rounded 
and perfectly poised. Due to the sturdy, tall, well branched stalks 
and the heavy substance, the flower does not flinch when rain or 
burning sun pour down from above — a perfect performer. 40". $2.50 
BLUE DIAMOND (Nic. '38) Like a real diamond, this flower 
sparkles all over in its natural setting, a light, almost true, 
blue. The domed standards and flaring falls with bluish 
beard are large and of strong substance, and are carried on 
low, widely branched stems. 40". $7.50 
BLUE DUSK (Reib. '36) Blue dusk and shadows fall in the clear 
western sky — and lo! we have our iris! The standards are satiny, 
the falls velvety, and the light blue beard enhances the dusky blue 
tonality. $1.00 
BLUE JUNE (Don. '34) "Am I blue?" We should say so — true 
blue, but never too blue. The petals are well rounded, gracefully 
curving, with a slight dip in the center of each giving an effect of 
chiaroscuro to each bloom. These perfectly modelled, medium blue 
petals, satisfy. $1.50 
BLUE MONARCH (J. Sass '33) This monarch rules as the light 
blue blooms loom away up tall among other iris. Nicely shaped 
flowers. H.M. '35. $.50 
BLUE PETER (White '36) A flag of very deep prune purple, with 
a black flush over all; with a suede finish above, velvety below. It 
waves on high in our garden and it calls us with its rich, vital colors. 
The long falls and high standards are very soft, smooth and dark. 
$2.50 
BLUE SPIRE (Mill. '38) A clean, clear, medium blue self, with a 
sparkling texture. This spire is large, beautifully shaped, 
tall, and a sight to behold! $3.50 
BLUE TRIUMPH (Grint. '34) Hail the conquering hero among 
the light blues! He comes, carrying standards full rounded, and 
falls full flaring and of stout substance. A richness of luminous blue 
shines from the heraldric staffs. A.M. '36. $1.25 
BOULDERADO (And. '37) The very large flowers have arched 
standards of rosy tan, and broad flaring falls of deeper old rose, 
overlaid with tan — an enchanting combination of colors. Branches 
are short, but well-spaced; foliage is wide and graceful. $3.50 
BRIDAL VEIL (Mitch. '36) No blush mars the pure white of this 
flower; only a slight yellow tinge at the edges of the haft and on the 
style arms makes the white seem clearer, more refreshing. The 
shape of the flower is first-rate with wide flaring falls and nicely 
rounded standards. Excellent habits of growth. $3.00 
BRONZINO (Salb. '37) Striking domed standards of frosty golden 
bronze; falls rich coppery bronze — a combination of depth and 
liveliness, sturdiness and dignity, with a leathery substance — a 
standout. 40". $6.50 
BRUNHILDE (Salb. '34) Ennoble your garden with true royalty — 
the queen of the dark blues, wrapt in robes of exquisite texture; 
soft, satiny, clear dark blue robes before which we bow low in ad¬ 
miration. The falls are flaring, the standards domed; the beard is a 
deep rich blue adding perfect harmony to this most aristocratic 
flower. 38". A.M. '37. $2.00 
BUNTING (Wmsn. '34) Table iris. A pale violet self of fine form, 
on 29" well branched stems. $1.00 
BURNING BRONZE (Ayres '34) Alight with a red-purple glow at 
the end of the beard, this color changes to a deep wine purple with 
a bronze overtone in the falls and standards. A metallic lustre makes 
this iridescent flower captivating. Semi-flaring falls and adpressed 
standards make rhythmic form. 40". A.M. '36. $1.50 
BYZANTIUM (Ayres '33) We visualize this ancient city of gold, 
pomp and pageantry in the finery of this bloom. The flower is tan- 
brown, flushed on the falls with iridescent blue, and has a sprinkling 
of gold dust over all. A lovely iris — we recommend it highly, and 
we say it far surpasses Tuscany Gold. 32". $.85 
CABALLERO (Nic. '35) "I am the gay Caballero" with my blouse 
of red-lavender, and my handsome wide rosy red pantaloons of 
satiny sheen. I am strong — hold my head erect and bow down to 
neither sun, wind, nor rain. 44". $1.00 
CADETOU (Cay. '35) A variegata, the standards honey-yellow, 
tinted bronze; the falls garnet red, widely edged with bronzy gold. 
The semi-flaring falls are exceptionally wide, harmonizing perfectly 
with the wide fluted standards. 42". $6.00
