BLUE SHIMMER (J. Sass 1942) M. 38”. 
_ Charming and capricious, a plicata of utmost originality. 
[he 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. $7.50 
BLUE ZENITH (Whiting 1942) M. 40”. 
Slightly ruffled, large and tall, light campanula blue. A 
superb iris of height, good branching, many buds on laterals, 
gorgeous in the clump. It is our opinion that Blue Zenith 
because of its exceptional growth qualities, hardiness and 
vigor will be one of the blue iris we will grow in our garden 
for years. It leaves little to be desired and we are glad to 
recommend it as one of the most satisfactory all around 
iris in its color. $3.00 
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. $1.00 
BONSOR (Connell 1938) ML. 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. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
BORIS (Schreiner 1942) ML. 29”. 
For the fanciers who appreciate a rich and unusual color 
this gleaming uniform garnet to claret purple is certain to 
please. Ideal for foreground planting and massing. $1.25 
BRIGHT LIGHTS (Schreiner 1946) ML 36”. 
A novel plicata. In garden effect a bright waxy yellow 
with an intriguing alabaster white blaze on the falls and 
soft tan stitching to further captivate one. A gaily marked 
plicata done in such a clear cut manner that the contrast 
of the colors and markings are highly expressive. Afar it 
carries as a yellow, closer a bitoned yellow with deep golden 
standards and white bordered yellow falls, close up as an 
attractive plicata. $12.00 
BRIGHT MELODY (Snyder 1942) M. 35”. 
An iris of excellent finish and unique coloring; rich con- 
cord grapes color with a metallic sheen and chestnut haft. 
Attractive, unusual purple shade. $5.00 
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. $7.50 
BRUNHILDE (Salbach 1934) EM. 36”. 
A very uniform dark, rich violet-blue self. Very nicely 
formed flowers with unusual blue beard. Splendid stems, 
widely branched. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
BRYCE CANYON (Kleinsorge 1944) ML. 38”. 
A fascinating and distinct warm shade of brown or sort 
of henna copper. This large smooth blend with its wide 
hafts and rounded form along with glowing undertones at- 
tracts everyone’s attention. Red brown touched with 
henna, it is self colored and decidedly one of the most inter- 
esting blends of the last few years. We have a few roots for 
early orders. $10.00 
BUFFAWN (Andrews 1940) E. 34”. 
An unusual coloring — buff fawn with a brilliant tan- 
gerine beard. Pronounced flaring blooms carrying in the 
garden as shrimp to salmon buff with prominent red-orange 
beard. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
BURGUNDY ROSE (Hall 1946) EM. 34”. 
Large rose amethyst colored flowers which carry in the 
garden as a most effective, pleasing dark rose shade. This 
iris is best placed for mass effect. Close up the more prom- 
inent and darker colored veins are somewhat unharmonious. 
This feature quickly drops out on viewing from a short dis- 
tance. Vigorous and free blooming. $10.00 
BURMESE GOLD (Whiting 1945) M. 34”. 
A pleasant, ruffly iris with a charming air. A lustrous 
gold blend of deep yellow, pink, apricot and real gold. The 
center of the flower has a warm glow. Moderately branched 
stems. $15.00 
CALDERILLA (DeForest 1944) M. 38”. 
Blend of terra cotta, gold and cocoa brown. Well formed 
flower on a strong branched stalk. $6.00 
CALIFORNIA GOLD (Mitchell 1933) ML. 36”. 
One of the first big yellows. Large flower, prolific grower 
and a deep yellow with a hint of brass. 35c; 3 for 90c 
CALIFORNIA PEACH (Salbach 1941) EM. 38”. 
An engaging peach-pink and apricot iris, voluminous fan 
shaped petals. The falls are more salmon apricot lightly 
tinted lavender in the center. $2.50 
CAMEROUN (Cayeux 1938) ML. 36”. 
A sombre black plum purple in some ways recalling the 
coloring of Destiny. A large flowered dark iris with broad 
petals, quite impressive. $2.50 
CAPTAIN WELLS (Cook 1941) ML. 36”. 
Luxuriant, glossy maroon red-purple of a fine clear color 
and splendid growth habits. Rich and solidly colored, no 
haft markings and a subdued beard. Very noticeable is the 
“shine’”’ of the whole flower. Late blooming, it is a well 
tailored, neat appearing flower. It makes quite small rhi- 
zomes. $4.00 
CAPITOLA (Reinelt 1940) E. 28”. 
Extremely large globular blooms of bright reddish violet 
with a deeper toned signal patch at the end of the beard. 
One of the parents of the famous Lady Mohr and prized by 
hybridizers as a parent. $2.00 
CAROLINE BURR (kK. Smith 1940) M. 40”. 
A cool ivory colored iris with a soft mirage-like dash of 
soft, elusive green. Something different in a cream iris and 
one of the very finest of this color. Very large blooms of 
fine form and ideal proportion. $3.50 
CASA MORENA (DeForest 1943) M. 38”. 
Glowing deep rich coppery brown. A large, long formed 
flower of a sort of “‘pungent”’ color that attracts everyone. 
One of the richest iris in the brown shades with a pleasing 
iridescence. A solid self. $10.00
