BLUE SPIRE (Milliken) 
There is no other color that is so completely essential to the 
garden picture as blue, and here is a blue iris that seems to possess 
all the qualities of perfection. Blue Spire, as the name would 
indicate, is tall and stately. It has large, beautifully-shaped flowers 
of the clearest, cleanest shade of medium blue carried on strong, 
graceful, 4-foot stems. The texture of the flowers is such that in the 
sunlight they sparkle as if sprinkled with a myriad of tiny glass beads. 
A strong grower with luxuriant foliage, Blue Spire is a joy to 
behold. ~ ~ ~ $2.50,- 3 for $5.00 
BLUE TRIUMPH (Grinter) 
A large flowered pale blue that has received a great deal of 
praise in the East and Middle West. The flowers are of the widely 
flaring type and are of heavy substance with a smooth velvety finish. 
Blue Triumph grows to a height of about 3)4 feet, and produces 
many flowers which bloom over a long period of time.

BRILLIG (C. G. White)

color is rosy-purple over a yellow tinted ground and both standards 
and falls are finely veined with dark purple. A prominent dark 
purple patch surrounds the narrow yellow beard. The styles are old 
gold and add their beauty to the center of the flower. Parentage is 
as follows: (Sofarana x Susiana) x Yellow M. 2 ft. Early.

BROWN BETTY (C. G. White) 
Whether it be a pudding or an iris it seems to be 
popular. One has cinnamon flavor, the other cin¬ 
namon color—cinnamon brown and more browns, 
copper tones and hushed lavenders. One shade 
predominates here and another there, and yet all is 
smoothly blended so that there are no harsh con¬ 
trasts, no sharp demarcations of color. The standards 
are perfect in form from first to last, the falls at first 
are softly drooping, then widely flaring, like giant 
butterflies pausing on the tall, widely branched 
slender stems. It is a delightful iris. 3)4 feet. 
See illustration, page 9. 60c; 3 for $1.50 
BRUNHILDE (Salbach)

BUCKSKIN (Kleinsorge) 
Introduced last year, this beautiful creation is a 
light tan self with the popular semi-flaring falls. The

branched, 4-foot stalks. Probably the finest tan 
colored iris on the market. $7.50

for the unusual warmth and vitality this flower 
possesses. 3)-2 feet. 60c,- 3 for $1.50
