marked and of good form. $3.00 
AUBANEL (Cayeux 1935) ML. 38”. 
A French iris. In the opinion of many of the experts one

the very center. A unique color. $1.00; 3 for $2.50

of almost pure brass like a rich metallic lustre. Intense color, 
firm substance and fine form. $20.00 
BALLET GIRL (H. Sass 1935) EM. 36”.

BERKELEY GOLD (Salbach 1942) ML. 38”. 
Top ranking yellow rating as one of the three finest rich 
deep yellows of wonderful color, good form and a splendid 
stalk. It is a deep golden yellow with an astounding finish. 
The brilliance of coloring makes it appear as if the flower 
had been recently polished. A superior yellow. $4.00 
BLACK BEAUTY (Kirkland 1934) M. 34”. 
A large iris of classic perfection of form and uniform indigo 
tone. Very lustrous and velvety. 40c; 3 for $1.00 
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. $15.00 
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; 3 for $2.50 
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; 3 for 75c 
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. $1.50 
BLUE FRILLS (Stephenson 1946) M. 34”. 
An azure blue, considered one of the most beautiful shades 
of blue, pure and rich. A deeper blue, than many of the 
pure light blues as Great Lakes yet not as dark as The Ad- 
miral. Roundly formed flowers of heavy substance and 
rich glossy texture. Notable for great clarity of coloring 
and precision of styling. Harmoniously tinged blue beard 
combines well to give the overall oneness of color that so 
characterizes this iris. $10.00 
BLUE MONARCH #(J. 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 RHYTHM (Whiting 1945) ML. 38”. 
New soft medium blue with a silvery tone, smooth and 
velvety, clear colored. It lacks nothing in branching, poise 
or growth. It will rank as one of the best iris in its class. 
Described as a cornflower blue, a self with a clean haft and 
good substance. We are very impressed with this new 
mid-blue. $15.00
