Tall Bearded Iris 
(Conti 
nue 
d) 
Blue Monarch— 40 in. HONORABLE MENTION AMERICAN IRIS 
SOCIETY. A magnificent soft blue of gigantic size, with up to 15 flowers 
to a stem. With Shining Waters, Blue Triumph, Pale Moonlight, and 
Blue Monarch to select from, it is hard to determine which of the four 
should be classed as “the finest light blue,” but I would certainly want 
them all, as they are all different.20 
Carfax— 42 in. AWARDED A SILVER MEDAL BY THE IRIS SO¬ 
CIETY OF ENGLAND, where this variety originated. The color is the 
richest red-purple imaginable and the falls are very velvety. The flowers 
are large and of fine form and heavy substance. One of the striking fea¬ 
tures of this variety is its profuse branching, one stalk producing six to 
eight branches, creating an unusual candelabra effect, with a correspond¬ 
ingly large number of flowers out together.20 
Blue Triumph —42 in. HONORABLE MEN¬ 
TION AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. An¬ 
other very fine soft blue, which with Blue 
Monarch, Shining Waters, and Pale Moon¬ 
light is claiming recognition as the finest 
light blue. Blue Triumph has flaring falls. In 
the opinion of some judges it is the nearest 
approach to perfection in any Iris.50 
Bl ue Velvet —46 in. One of the most beautiful 
Iris of the century and one of the most ap¬ 
propriately named, as the entire flower seems 
to be cut out of velvet and the color is an 
intense deep rich blue.20 
Brasier— 36 in. AWARDED A CERTIFI¬ 
CATE OF MERIT BY THE FRENCH 
NATIONAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIE¬ 
TY, where it originated. One of the reddest 
toned Irises introduced to date and one of 
the best and richest colored Iris we have. S— 
light coppery garnet-red showing through a 
metallic golden haze; F—deep velvety red¬ 
dish-mahogany, with a narrow chocolate 
border. Huge flowers of perfect form and 
heavy substance.35 
Bronze Beacon— 50 in. LATE. A real beauty, 
with many excellent points in its favor. The 
standards are a glowing golden-bronze and 
the velvety falls are Indian Lake, with heavy 
bronze veining at the throat. It is a prodig¬ 
ious bloomer, of gigantic height and contin¬ 
ues flowering after all others have finished.

Bronze Champion —30 in. WINNER OF 
THE BRONZE MEDAL AWARDED AT 
THE IRIS SHOW AT ROCKEFELLER 
CENTRE, NEW YORK CITY, JUNE 1936, 
FOR THE BEST NEW SEEDLING IRIS 
IN THE SHOW. COLOR PURE METAL¬ 
LIC COPPER, with a poise and charm that 
immediately attracts one’s attention. My 
own introduction.50 
Brown Betty —43 in. An amazingly beautiful 
and distinctly new color tone in changeable- 
silk effect. See color illustration.50 
Bruno— 36 in. LATE. THIS HANDSOME 
IRIS SOLD A FEW YEARS AGO AT 
$50.00 FOR A SINGLE PLANT. It is with¬ 
out doubt one of the finest Iris in the world. 
The flowers are large, perfectly formed, of 
heavy substance and with the velvety tex¬ 
ture of a piece of fine plush. See color illus¬ 
tration .20 
Buechley’s Giant —50 in. EARLY. AN IRIS 
GIANT IN SIZE AND HEIGHT AND 
ONE OF THE TEN LARGEST AND 
BEST. Huge brilliant flowers of perfect form 
in a soft to medium blue effect. Try it with 
Frieda Mohr and Joycette for a striking 
combination.20 
Burning Bronze —40 in. HONORABLE 
MENTION AMERICAN IRIS SOCIETY. 
An imposing flower of large size in brilliant 
red tones. S—light red; F—deeper coppery 
red.50 
Byzantium —36 in. An improvement on Jean 
Cayeux, with larger flowers, identical in 
color, excepting that there is a slight pencil¬ 
ing of electric blue at the tip of the beard 
and the color of the entire flower is slightly 
deeper. A tan-brown effect of perfect form 
and in my opinion the best of this color. .75 
California Gold —36 in. I consider this the 
finest deep yellow Iris created to date and I 
think this is the general opinion of others. 
It is simply superb, having a brilliance and 
purity of color and perfection of form not 
approached by any other deep yellow Iris I 
have seen. The flowers are large and very 
freely produced. This is the first time I have 
been able to offer it at a popular price. . .50 
Candlelight —40 in. FRAGRANT. A magnifi¬ 
cent show Iris in a lovely blend of soft pastel 
tints, with a yellow glow in the centre, giving 
the effect of light coming from within; hence 
the name.10
