BLACK VIOLET 
BLACK FOREST Probably the most striking ‘Black Iris’’ yet 
developed. It is several registers darker and deeper in color 
than any named variety we have seen. Fresh blooms of the 
other famous blacks are all definitely lighter toned when di- 
rectly 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. Th2 medium size 
flowers have good substance. Height, about 33 inches. Mid- 
season. Each $4.00 
SABLE Almost black; a rare novelty of lustrous rich deep blue- 
black violet with great brilliance. The very large flowers of 
excellent substance are carried on tall, 36-inch stems. A 
glorious Iris that should be in every gard=n. Early mid- 
season blooms. Each $1.00 
LIGHT BLUE 
ANITRA One of the loveliest, clearest pure light blue Iris. Like 
the lovely color of that old favorite Celeste. The flowers are 
extra large, of beautiful form and good substance. The stand- 
ards are domed and the falls broad and flaring. The plants are 
vigorous and free flowering; it has an Honorable M-ntion and 
the rating is high. Height, about 35 inches. Mid-season. 
Each 35c; 3 for 90c 
AZURE SKIES Lovely ruffled pale lavender-blue. Domed, flar- 
ing standards, nearly horizontal falls. Good substance; stands 
up well in the hot sun. Height, about 34 inches. Late mid- 
season blooms. Each $1.25 
EXCLUSIVE A distinguished light blue Iris quite different from 
other Iris. The light blue color which is of great purity is 
overlaid with a silvery mist producing a ‘‘powder blue” or 
French blue effect. This serene Iris of opulent oval form and 
enamel-like finish is a most reposeful color. Height, 36 inches.
