A large Iris of classic perfection of form and uniform 
indigo tone. Very lustrous and velvety. AOc 
BLACK FOREST (Schreiner 1945) M. 33”. 
In hybridizing we have tried to develop an Iris “black 
as pitch,” and Black Forest is the most striking develop- 
ment we have flowered. It is several registers darker 
and deeper in color than any named variety we grow 
or have seen. Fresh blooms of the other famous blacks 
are all definitely lighter toned when directly compared. 
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. See page 6 for illustration. 
$6.00; 3 for $15.00

ground plantings. 35c
