BLUE SHIMMER (J. Sass 1942) M. 38”. 
Charming and capricious, a plicata of ut- 
most originality. The handsome blooms, 
extremely large, are full and well formed. 
The clearest tone of blue is polka dotted 
and peppered, rather than buttonhole 
stitched, on crisp enameled ivory white. 
The plant habit in stem, stalk and flower 
is all very satisfactory. One of the most dis- 
tinct Iris originated in this class in years 
and ranks as one of the outstanding Iris of 
the past few years. 
$2.50; 3 for $6.00 
BLUE ZENITH (Whiting 1942) M. 40”. 
Slightly ruffled, large and tall, light cam- 
panula-blue. A superb Iris of height, good 
branching, many buds on laterals, gor- 
geous 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. A most satisfactory all- 
around blue. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
BOMBAY (Hamilton 1943) M. 36”. 
High ranking and free flowering; a fitting 
brother to City of Lincoln. Bright, clear 
yellow standards, bright coppery maroon 
falls. Since good variegatas are few, this 
free flowering plant is recommended. 75e¢ 
BONNY (Lapham 1948) M. 37”. 
One of the famous seashell family, pepper- 
mint-pink in color with leather-like sub- 
stance and smooth coloring without a 
solitary vein. The luscious pink shades, 
like pink clouds, are dramatically accented 
by a tangerine beard. Flowers medium size 
and the plant a vigorous grower. $5.00 

BLACK FOREST 
The Darkest Iris 
BLUE FRILLS (Stephenson 1946) M. 36”. 
An azure blue with blue tinged beard, 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 so dark as The 
Admiral. Roundly formed flowers of heavy 
substance and rich, glossy texture. Notable 
for great clarity of color and precision and 
styling of florets. $5.00; 3 for $12.50 
BLUE GLOW (Nicholls 1945) ML. 36”. 
A rich shade of deep blue of varnished like 
smoothness and luster. Enticingly marked 
with a brown flush on the shoulders and haft, 
and a long, whitish beard. A lovely color. A 
larger and finer West Point. $5.00 
BLUE RHYTHM (Whiting 1945) ML. 38”. 
We like this Iris very much. A medium blue 
with a silvery tone, it lacks nothing in branch- 
ing, poise or growth. Ramrod stiff stems of 
superb branching with classically formed 
flowers held rigidly aloft. Its subtle shading | 
has a warm cadence that impresses one in- 
stantly. Winning favor on its introduction, 
its continuing and spreading popularity are 
a just attestation to this fine mid blue. 
$7.50 
BLUE VALLEY (Smith 1947) ML. 36”. 
Hailed as one of the closest approaches to true 
blue in Iris—the bluest yet. Large, full ruffled 
flowers with a jaunty flare and a nice spark- 
ling sheen. Novel in its form and color, the 
whole is climactically gathered together by a DESERT SONG 
most pleasant scent. $18.00 A Splendid Cream
