AVONDALE U. Sass 1934) M. 33”. 
A rich bicolor of strawberry red tones with a lamplike 
inner glow and vivid orange beard. A spectacular beauty. 
In every way an excellent iris. 35c; 3 for 90c 
AZTEC COPPER (Kleinsorge 1939) M. 38”. 
This is not a bright colored iris but combines off tones of 
copper with touches of smoky violet. In effect this makes 
the color seem to glisten with a slight greenish tinge. Un- 
usual and quixotic in itself, it is a lovely iris for a close-up 
spot in the garden. Broadly shaped blooms, leathery sub- 
stance, good height and branching. $5.00 
AZTEC GLORY (Horton 1941) EM. 35”. 
Exceptional and unusual! In reality a klaidescope of 
color combining the harmony of the blend class with the 
richness and burnished finish of the reds and coppers. A 
self-glowing copper blend. Dissimilar to other varieties. 
Stems very excellently branched; average flower and height. 
$10.00 
BALLET GIRL UH. Sass 1935) EM. 38”. 
An iris of distinctive, delicate personality, and poised, 
restrained carriage; in color the filmiest pink imaginable, 
reminding one of the exquisite shades of pink found in 
sweet peas. An iris that grows in one’s appreciation.

BALMUNG UH. Sass 1939) ML. 38”. 
A subtly colored, quietly capricious yellow-ground pli- 
cata. It is about the largest of this striking color class. 
Large, well rounded flowers, evenly colored yellow with 
heavy, though clean, plicata markings of brown. Sharply 
contrasted, it resembles some rare tropical orchid. $4.00 
BELMONT (Williams 1938) M. 34”. 
A frilled, rich, clear medium deep blue. One of the at- 
tractive new iris in the blue class, Belmont and Waverly 
represent two very distinct blues. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
BEOWULF (Schreiner 1936) E. 34”. 
Rich velvety maroon unmarred by any haft venation. 
The coppery brown of the standards is repeated in a soft 
margining on the unusually broad falls. The rich orange 
beard completes the glowing ensemble.  25c; 3 for 60c 
BLACKAMOOR (J. Sass 1932) EM. 38”.

BLUE DIAMOND (Nicholls 1938) EM. 38”. 
Classical delicate blue iris. The sculptured falls flare 
with delicate grace and just a breath of fluting. Of purest 
cerulean blue the ethereal blooms have a silvery, sparkling 
glow that makes them delicate and at the same time vividly 
fresh looking. Inclined to be a little tender and slow growing. 
$2.00 
BLUE MONARCH JJ. Sass 1933) ML. 44”. 
A finely branched specimen in the light blue color class.

ment. Plant this where partial shade will help its delicate 
color. 25c; 3 for 60c

and veins on the yellow background. $1.00 
BONSOR (Connell 1938) M. 38”. 
Deep velvety dark aniline blue — remarkably free from 
purple or violet overtones and extraordinarily rich in tex- 
ture. An especially clean-cut iris of rounded semi-flaring 
form and very large size. Fine form and bright color. No 
haft venation mars the chaste perfection of this intense 
ultramarine self. The beard is bright gold; ee ideal. 
3.00

yellow beard and lemon margining along the haft and at 
the base of the standards. 35c; 3 for 90c 
BRUNHILDE (Salbach 1934) EM. 40”. 
One of the deepest toned selfs, a rich violet-blue, beau- 
tiful in its regal simplicity, staunch as the operatic or 
mythological character for whom it was named. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
CALIFORNIA GOLD (Mitchell 1933) ML. 36”. 
A very thrilling iris; a fine deep yellow of remarkable 
color intensity. A large flower of beautiful proportions for

dispensible for every iris garden. 25c; 3 for 60c
