BEVERLY (Gage-Lap. '39) In your dress of decidedly pink effect 
flushed with golden brown you are distinctive. You show 
yourself often and why not! You're so cute and round. 
32". 
$7.50 
BLACK BEAUTY (Kirk. '34) We've always liked it better than 
Black Wings, its son. Purplish black throughout, the rich indigo is 
slightly intensified in the velvety falls — a beauty indeed, of charm¬ 
ing rounded form and medium height. 30". 35* 
BLACK VALOR (Nich. '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". $6.00 
BLACK WINGS (Kirk. '34) Noble son of a worthy father. 35* 
BLITHESOME (Conn. '33) Creamy white with a golden suffusion 
on the falls make this large, heavy substanced flower irresistible. 
The well rounded petals are perfectly poised on strong stems. 
40". 75* 
BLUE BANNER (Kirk. '29) This startling two toned blue banner is 
run up on high late in the season, ■— most pleasing and a favorite. 
36". 25* 
BLUE DIAMOND (Nic. '38) A real diamond has come to our 
gardens in the form of domed standards and flaring falls, that sparkle 
a light blue in their natural setting, on low widely branched stalks. 
40". $6.00 
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 blue beard enhances the dusky blue 
tonality of this large, well formed flower. 38". 50* 
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 fall giving an effect 
of chiaroscuro to each bloom. These perfectly modelled, medium 
blue petals satisfy. 34". 60* 
BLUE PETER (White '36) A flag of very deep prune purple, with 
a black flush over all — a suede finish above, velvety below. It 
waves on high in our garden and it calls us with its rich, vital colors. 
The falls and standards are long and graceful. 40". $1.00 
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! 48". H.M. '39. $2.50 
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, always victorious. 42". A.M. '36. 60* 
BONANZA (J. Sass '39) The background is the deepest yellow with 
light brown markings, dotted and veined. The standards of 
this bright yellow plicata are more colored than the falls. 
34". $5.00 
BONSOR (Conn. '38) Deep velvety aniline blue, clean cut, solid 
coloring, perfect form, and ideal branching. A blue that is 
blue and not purple or violet. 38". $10.00 
BOULDERADO (And. '37) A clean fresh blend of rosy tan stand¬ 
ards and deeper old rose falls, overlaid with tan. The flowers are 
large, flaring, and most enchanting. 42". $1.50 
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. $1.75 
BRONZINO (Salb. '37) The frosty golden bronze standards and 
rich coppery bronze falls on this large, full flower make it appear as 
if molded of bronze with its sturdiness and dignity of placement. 
Only the perfection in structure and liveliness of color distinguish it 
from a statue. 40". H.M. '39. $3.50 
BRUNHILDE (Salb. '34) The fame of this queen of the dark blues, 
wrapt in robes of exquisite satiny texture and of unmarred clarity, is 
spreading with rapidity among the noble iris enthusiasts. A deep, 
rich blue beard adds to the perfect harmony of the flaring falls and 
domed standards. 38". A.M. '37. 75* 
BURNING BRONZE (Ayres '34) Our first love for this bronze red 
iris still burns brightly. The metallic sheen gives such variable 
lively colors to the adpressed standards and semi-flaring falls. 
40". A.M. '36. 50* 
BUTTERSCOTCH (Dol. '39) "A new color tone that suggested its 
name. A tan self with some veining; brownish orange beard. Grows 
well and increases rapidly." A delight in mass. 36". 50* 
BYZANTIUM (Ayres '33) This tan brown flower, flushed iridescent 
blue on the falls and sprinkled with gold dust over all, is a lovely 
iris for 35c. 34". 35* 
CABALLERO (Nic. '35) "A gay Caballero" — cheerful with his 
blouse of red lavender and his pantaloons rosy red with a satiny 
sheen. 38". 50* 
CADETOU (Cay. '35) A variegata with standards honey yellow, 
tinted bronze; falls garnet red, widely edged with bronzy gold. The 
semi-flaring falls are exceptionally wide, harmonizing perfectly with 
the wide fluted standards. 42". $3.00

has pep and perkiness in its upright poise. 30". 35*

laid with blue, flecked with gold. Twelve blooms are securely car¬ 
ried on 48" stems. $2.75 
CALIFORNIA GOLD (M .M. '33) If you desire a warm, rich, intense 
color in your garden we recommend California Gold. Introduced 7 
years ago we find that today this orange yellow self stands tall and 
unrivalled for depth of tone among all iris of the lower price range. 
40". A.M. '37. 75* 
CALIGULA (Cay. '37) A brilliant rich, rosy amaranth red covers 
the falls, the haft being widely lined with red and yellow. The 
standards are well rounded, arched and of a light rose-pink with a 
shading of orange gold. An orange beard adds color to the bright 
throat. 36". $8.00

wide velvety black falls. Certificate of merit of the National 
Horticulture Society of France, 1938. 36". $10.00
