“Surely you got a ‘kick’ out of preparing so fine a shipment as you 
sent me. Some of the roots on Blue Shimmer rhizomes seemed to me 
nearly as large as lead pencils. Thank you very, very much for your nice 
plants. All have been planted and they seem well pleased in their new 
Texas home.”

BRIGHT SONG (Schroeder 1949) E. 38”. * 
A casually ruffled bright pink flower of great brilliancy. In 
our gardens it was perhaps one of the finest, most brilliant 
of the “raspberry pinks” with a prominent tangerine beard. 
Extra fine growing qualities with tall, very well branched 
stems. It is a striking new Iris, original in coloring and poise. 
$15.00 
BRILLIANT AMBER (Salbach 1947) M. 40”. 
Brilliant shades of gold and amber with a suggestion of pink. 
Very large flowers with flaring falls. A suggestion of brown 
touches up the amber coloring in a most pleasant manner. 
Well substanced and finely formed. $5.00; 3 for $12.50 
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 bronze. ‘The coloring is very 
smooth, one of the very best brown Iris. It is a beautiful Ivis, 
appealing, and of great color value. HM’40. AM’43. 
$1.25; 3 for $3.00 
BRUNHILDE (Salbach 1934) EM. 36”. 
A very uniform dark, rich violet-blue self including blue cast 
beard. Very nicely formed flowers, pleasant color, splendid 
stems, widely branched. HM’36. AM’37. 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 attracts 
everyone’s attention. Red-brown touched with henna, it is 
self colored and decidedly one of the most interesting blends; 
fragrant. HM’45. AM’47. $3.50; 3 for $8.25 
BUFFAWN (Andrews 1940) E. 34”. 
An unusual coloring, buff-fawn with a brilliant tangerine 
beard. Pronounced flaring blooms carrying in the garden as 
shrimp to salmon-buff with prominent orange beard. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
CAHOKIA (Faught 1948) ML. 40”. * 
One of the very finest blues and considered by some the pur- 
est blue we have. A hint of turquoise in the blue gives a 
positively enchanting shade of blue. Enhanced by a pale 
lemon-colored beard Cahokia is certainly one of the finest of 
the light blues. HM’49. $17.50
