THE WORLD’S FINEST IRISES 

BELLATRIX (Vilmorin, 1927), 28 inches. EARLY. Large flower 
with standards of smoky violet lake, washed with yellow on the 
edges; claw Indian yellow, spotted maroon; falls deep purple 
with veins of lighter shade; beard yellow; styles yellow with 
mauve median line. $2.75 each 
BERTRAND, 89-87 (Bliss, 1920), 36 inches. One of the very best of 
the famous “Dominion race.” The gigantic flowers are of per- 
fect form and of the finest texture. The standards are of

violet. $1.50 each; 3 for $3.75, 6 for $6.00, 100 for $85.00 
BLUE BANNER (Kirkland, 1929). The introducer and originator 
describes it as follows: “A new, beautiful and unique combina- 
tion of color. The general tone of the flower is light blue, with 
markings of Verbena and purple-violet, on the order of B. Y. 
Morrison. There is no other flower quite like it. Growth ram- 
pant. Blooming season late.” $10.00 each 
BLUE GLORY (Fryer, 1919). Mr. Fryer before his death wrote me 
that this was the largest Iris he had ever seen, being of a light 
blue color. He classed it with Mrs. Iltis, which has just had 
the distinction of being given an Award of Merit by the Royal 
Horticultural Society of England after a trial at Wisley, a 
unique distinction for an American Iris.

BOLINGBROKE, 81-79 (Hort., 1922), 36 inches. EARLY. Ivory white 
slightly suffused grayish lavender and beautifully edged bright 
yellow at the claw and haft. Lemon yellow styles and bright 
orange beard. One of the most handsome white Irises in culti- 
vation. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.50, 6 for $10.00 
BONITA (Mohr, 1928), 36 inches. A fine new deep yellow which is 
taller than Gold Imperial and having an unusually long flower- 
ing season. $2.00 each; 3 for $5.50, 6 for $10.00 
BOUREM, 80-84 (Cayeux, 1925), 30 inches. A distinct new color tone 
among Iris and one of the finest of the recent French introduc- 
tions. The standards are bordeaux red and the velvety falls are
