year. A fine showy newcomer in bright rose pink, with wide extend-

Next Come the INTERMEDIATES 
Just what you need to fill in the gap in blooming season between ex- 
tremely early Dwarfs and the first of Tall Bearded varieties. I designate these 
as ‘‘very early’’ or VE. Most are intermediate in height and flower size as well 
as in season. 
BILLET DOUX (G. Douglas '47) * * $2.00; 3 for $4.00

charming personality, and its possibilities for use in flower arrange- 
ments. A miniature Great Lakes, with erect poise and very flaring 
falls turned up at the border. A silvery blue with pocrelain-like 
finish. Sometimes reblooms in the fall. VE-22". 
BERKELEY BLUE (Salbach ‘42) * * $1.00

bravely displayed in early spring, 10 days before the regular Tall 
Bearded Iris. A beautiful light clear blue. Heavy seed-setter. VE-28".

violet-black, reminding one of black velvet. VE-28”". 
GAYNELLE (Richer '30) * * 50c

the production of its light yellow flowers. Always a feature here in 
late March or April. VE-11”. 
ABELARD (H. Sass ‘34) * HM’36 40c

Still Later—The Useful BORDER Iris 
Border Iris come on with the Tall Bearded kinds, but are under 30” in height. 
Thus they are used very extensively in front of Tall Bearded to eer 2 the 
needed graduation in height from the path to the tallest varieties at the back. 
Also, ideally adapted to small, personal gardens, special nooks. On elevated 
terraces their low stature prevents their flowers from coming at too high a level. 
COPPER ORANGE (Salbach ‘41) * xk * $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
Visitors usually take all our stock, and it is seldom I am able to 
catalog this. By far the most brilliant Border Iris I know. Standards 
intense coppery orange; falls closely approaching scarlet. Not gen- 
erally available; be the first to display its vivid coloring. M-20". 
ROSE PEARL (Salbach '44) * * $1.00; 3 for $2.00 
A large perfectly delightful bitone. Just imagine standards in opal- 
escent ivory pink; falls in deep rose, gilded gold. Remarkably long 
blooming period, often from early April to mid-May. E to M—28".
