The World' s Finest 
Beau Sabreur —34 in. EARLY. One of the best of the new “Variegatas” in brilliant 
clear colors and most artistic in effect. Should be in every collection. S—amber; 
F—Vandyke red, very velvety. Recently sold at $15.00 a plant.15 
Beltane— 36 in. EARLY. WINNER OF ENGLISH IRIS SOCIETY CHAL¬ 
LENGE CUP AND SILVER MEDAL. Gigantic flowers of rich pansy violet. 
The brilliant color, perfect form, huge size and heavy substance make this a 
sure prize-winner anywhere.20 
Beotie— 48 in. GIVEN A CERTIFICATE OF MERIT BY THE FRENCH 
NATIONAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. A new color in Iris. General 
effect elephant gray, with standards flushed taupe, the falls having a soft electric 
blue flush at the centre. Very large flowers of fine form and pleasing color. Seems 
to be identical with Michael Angelo, recently offered at a very high price. . .50 
Black Beauty —40 in. FRAGRANT. Similar to Black Wings, but in a redder 
tone, Black Beauty being the red extreme in the so-called Black Iris, whereas 
Black Wings is the blue extreme. The standards are madder violet and the falls 
Fluorite violet by the color chart.35 
Black Warrior —36 in. A huge flower of rich deep dark blackish-violet. An extra 
fine Iris in the dark class.20 
Black Wings —40 in. FRAGRANT. NEAR BLACK, and one of the best of this 
color. Looks absolutely black in some lights, the color actually being Fluorite 
Violet, with a black lustrous overlay and a richness that is unsurpassed. The 
color illustration does not begin to do it justice.25 
Blue Banner— 36 in. FRAGRANT. A GLORIFIED BLUE BI-COLOR, no 
other Iris being quite like it. In a class by itself. S—bright lavender-blue, beauti¬ 
fully frilled; F—deep, rich, velvety pansy-violet, with a border of bright lavender- 
blue to match the standards. Should be in every Iris collection.15 
Blue Chintz— 36 in. AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE IRIS SOCIETY 
OF ENGLAND. A most unusual and very attractive Iris with a white ground 
completely covered with a pin-dot stippling of deep lilac.25 
Blue Gem —44 in. VERY SWEET FRAGRANCE. An extra rugged, extra hardy, 
gigantic rich blue toned variety, the flowers being of perfect form and nicely 
placed on tall stout erect stems. My own introduction.20 
Bl ue Gown —48 in. I like this better than the Dykes Medal Winner Sierre Blue, 
and most of those who have seen it in bloom in Bavside agree with me that it is 
THE FINEST RICH DEEP BLUE CREATED TO DATE. It is a huge flower, 
of uniform color throughout, of fine form, with a brilliant golden beard in charm¬ 
ing contrast, a prodigious bloomer and it stands out majestically shoulder high. 
A fine stock permits a very low price for such a choice Iris.20 
Blue Hill— 40 in. GIVEN HONORABLE MENTION BY THE AMERICAN 
IRIS SOCIETY. A huge flower, about the color of Missouri, winner of the 
Dykes Medal for 1937. A white beard and white throat add to its attraction. A 
perfect flower and a great bargain at the very low price.20 
Anndelia —32 in. Tins is one of the most exquisite "Plieatas” of all. The 
lilac standards are beautifully ruffled and the falls are white, with a 
feather-stitch edging of bright rose. A perfect picture in the garden or 
vase.15 
Anne Marie Cayeux— 36 in. A REAL FRENCH MASTERPIECE, 
GIVEN AN AWARD OF MERIT BY THE NATIONAL HORTI¬ 
CULTURAL SOCIETY OF FRANCE. A soft blend, in the rich irri- 
descent colors of a pigeon’s throat. An Iris of unsurpassed perfection of 
form and substance and indescribably beautiful soft pastel colors. A 
quite inadequate color description is: S—pinkish-lilac, flushed gray; F— 
metallic blue over soft grey. .20 
Aphrodite —44 in. FRAGRANT. A tall un form pink toned variety, which 
created a sensation among Iris fanciers when it was first introduced, at 
which time it sold for $50.00 for a single plant. It is just as fine to-day 
and now within the reach of all.15 
Aq uamarine —28 in. VERY EARLY. A lovely soft clear pure uniform 
aquamarine blue that is fine for planting in front of the taller varieties. 
This practise immensely enhances the garden effect of an Iris planting. 
.15 
Ariel— 28 in. VERY FRAGRANT. VERY EARLY. The most definite 
true-blue tone found in any Iris, the standards and falls being identical 
in color, which is a soft, clear, bright harebell blue.15 
Aristo —24 in. VERY EARLY. Brings a new type into the very early 
group, being a rich, bright, brilliant blue bi-color of heavy velvety sub¬ 
stance and with full flaring falls. S—light hyssop violet; F—rich velvety 
pansy-violet, with a one-eighth border of the lighter color of the stand¬ 
ards. Offered last year for the first time at $1.50. A good increase now 
permits a very low price for such a fine variety.20 
Asia— 54 in. CINNAMON FRAGRANCE. GIVEN AN AWARD OF 
MERIT BY THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF 
ENGLAND. A fine soft blend, large flowers of perfect form on stalks 
shoulder high.15 
Au rex —38 in. FRAGRANT. This is one of our finest new “Variegatas,” 
the colors being clear and brilliant and the flowers extra large and of 
fine form. S—bright clear pure yellow; F—rich velvety blackish-crimson- 
purple, with a narrow buff border.20 
Baldwin —40 in. EARLY. Gigantic flowers of fine form and heavy sub¬ 
stance in brilliant medium blue, with a flush of soft violet. A magnificent 
variety and very scarce.20 
Ballerine —48 in. VERY FRAGRANT. LATE. One of the most popular 
of the light blue toned varieties. A gigantic flower of fine form and ex¬ 
quisite coloring on four foot stems. The erect standards and straight 
hanging falls give fine garden effect.15 
Ballet Girl —36 in. A new delicately colored Iris in clear soft pastel pink. 
S—ruffled and frilled; F—semi-flaring. 1.50
