AUBANEL (Cayeux 1935) ML. 38”. 
A French iris. In the opinion of many of the experts one 
of the truest pinks. Large, well formed shrimp-pink with a 
pleasant flush of yellow in the heart with a spot of lilac in 
the very center. A unique color. $1.00 
AVONDALE (H. Sass 1934) ML. 33”. 
Rich strawberry toned bicolor with warm yellow throat 
and vivid orange beard. A cheery subject and very popular. 
50c 
AZTEC COPPER (Kleinsorge 1939) M. 38”. 
Uncommon blend of smoky violet and delicate copper 
tones combined in an undescribable manner. Very large, 
broad blooms. $2.00 
AZTEC GLORY (Horton 1941) EM. 35”. 
Exceptional glowing copper blend uniting the burnished 
finish of the reds and the copper iris. Very original. $5.00 
AZURE SKIES (Pattison 1943) ML. 34”. 
Agreeable, airily ruffled pale lavender blue with surpris- 
ingly crisp, strong substance; a white beard. Reminds one 
of a piece of cool starched cloth. A serenely trim iris. 
$7.5 
BALMUNG UH. Sass 1939) ML. 38”. 
One of the finest yellow plicatas, larger and yellower than 
most of this series. Broad petals, regular markings of clear 
brown on pronouncedly yellow background. Good formed 
flowers. It along with Ruth Pollock and Coritica are prob- 
ably the finest of the Sass series. $2.50 
BEOWULF (Schreiner 1936) E. 34”. 
Rich velvety maroon with more coppery brown standards. 
Broad, velvety, rich looking flower. 35c 
BERKELEY GOLD (Salbach 1942) ML. 38”. 
Shining gold. Richest deep yellow. Tall stems, good 
sized flowers, well substanced and clear colored. Stock is 
very limited. $5.00 
BLACK BEAUTY (Kirkland 1934) M. 34”. 
A large iris of classic perfection of form and uniform indigo 
tone. Very lustrous and velvety. 40c 
BLACK FOREST (Schreiner 1945) M. 33”. 
One of our ultimate aims in hybridizing is to try and de- 
velop an iris “black as pitch.’’ For years we have been 
experimenting toward this goal. Our Black Forest is the 
most striking development we have flowered. It is several 
registers darker and deeper in color than any named variety 
we grow or have seen. Fresh blooms of Sable, Black Valor, 
Ethiop Queen and other famous blacks are all definitely 
lighter toned when compared directly. In color it is a rich, 
silky, ebon blue-black. The overall effect with the blue 
beard and solid haft is truly like the sable vested night. 
For so deep a color it is bright and gleaming, decidedly not 
a dull iris. The flowers are medium sized, the stem is not 
tall, about 33 inches. Well substanced flowers, well carried, 
modified flare to nicely proportioned falls. No markings in 
the haft. A real monotone in the deepest coloring of any 
iris. $20.00 
BLACK HAWK (Schreiner 1941) VE. 28”. 
A stunning intermediate that is extra early flowering. 
Rich velvety black-purple — one of the darkest iris. A 
stirring combination planted with rich yellow iris or pastel 
tulips. $1.00 
BLACK VALOR (Nicholls 1938) ML. 33”. 
One of the deepest blue-blacks rather than purple or red 
black. Incredibly rich, inky blue black, beard ari 
BLACK WINGS (Kirkland 1930) M. 34”. 
A popular iris of deepest midnight blue overlain with a 
frosty black sheen. Rich and lustrous, ideal for foreground 
plantings. 30c 
BLUE DELIGHT (Grant 1941) M. 38”. 
A very cool blue, crisp and unwilted, average size. There 
is something about this light blue we like very much; un- 
fortunately, we experience difficulty wintering it. Should 
be very fine in warmer localities. . $2.00 
BLUE MONARCH JJ. Sass 1933) ML. 38”. 
A wonderful all-around performer in the light blue class. 
The blooms are large and full and of a beautiful clear tone 
of blue; easy growing. 30c; 3 for 75c 
BLUE SHIMMER (J. Sass 1942) M. 38”. 
Charming and capricious, a plicata of utmost originality. 
The handsome blooms are well formed with the clearest 
tone of blue of any iris polka dotted and peppered, rather 
than buttonhole stitching, on crisp enameled white. The 
plant habit in stem, stalk and flower are all very satisfac- 
tory. It is one of the most distinct iris originated in this 
class in years and ranks as one of the outstanding iris of the 
past few years. $10.00 
BLUE TRIUMPH GGrinter 1932) ML. 40”. 
Serene smooth textured light blue with fine stems. 
30c; 3 for 75c 
BLUE ZENITH (Whiting 1942) M. 40”. 
Slightly ruffled, large and tall, campanula light blue, dis- 
tinct and one of the loveliest of the blues. Its growth, 
hardiness and general prolificness are added points of merit. 
We recommend it as one of the fine new blues. 3.50 
BOMBAY (Hamilton 1943) M. 36”. 
High ranking and free flowering and a fitting brother to 
City of Lincoln. Bright and clear yellow standards and 
bright coppery maroon falls. Since good variegatas are few 
this free flowering plant is recommended. $2.00 
BONSOR (Connell 1938) L. 38”. 
A rich deep velvety blue-blue of exceptional finish and 
color. We think this is one of the most overlooked iris of 
its color. There is no iris as deep that has so pure and 
brilliant a hue; rich, aniline blue. The entire flower has a 
well tailored look. A handsome combination of rich color 
and texture coupled with a complete absence of venation 
gives it well defined carrying qualities. Highly recom- 
mended. $1.75 
BRIGHT MELODY (Snyder 1942) M. 35”. 
An iris of excellent finish and unique coloring; rich con- 
cord grapes color with a metalic sheen and chestnut haft. 
Attractive. $8.00 
BROWN THRASHER (Kirkland 1941) M. 34”. 
As unusual a color as can be imagined. The entire flower 
glows and glistens with a brilliant iridescence. In color it is 
like a piece of highly polished brass or bronze only this 
flower glistens more as if from innumerable hidden jewels. 
The coloring is very smooth, one of the very best brown 
iris. It is a beautiful iris, appealing, and of great color value. 
There is no iris like it. $10.00 
BRUNHILDE (Salbach 1934) M. 36”. 
A very uniform dark, rich violet-blue self. Very nicely 
formed flowers with unusual blue beard. Splendid stems, 
widely branched. 50c
