OUR IRIS FIELDS 
GENERAL LIST OF TALL BEARDED IRIS 
CULTURE. Tall Bearded Iris will give excellent results in any fer- 
tile soil with reasonable drainage and exposure to sunlight. Whether 
the soil is neutral, slightly acid or calcareous makes little or no 
difference. Plants should be set out so that the rootstock (rhizome) 
ts barely underground. If soil is dry when planting is done a thor- 
ough soaking 1s beneficial but after the plants become established 
they require very little moisture after blooming. When the plants 
become too crowded or decrease in their flowering, division 1s 
likely necessary. Bearded iris will grow but not bloom properly in 
a shaded location. 
SHIPMENTS. From July 15 to December 1. 
ALADDIN’S WISH (Murawska 1945) 
Large porcelain blue brushed white. 
to some of the Japanese iris. 
ALASTOR (Spendor 1940) Each .60; 3 for 1.25 
Very bright and pretty cyclamen pink with orange beard. 
ALDURA (Larsen 1942) Each 1.00 
A magnificent blue and white plicata of huge size and distinc- 
tive form. We think Aldura and Blue Shimmer are about tops 
in their color class. 
ALPINE GLOW (Kleinsorge 1945) Each 2.00; 3 for 5.00 
A most pleasing blend of soft rose and lilac. 
AMIGO (Williamson 1934) Each .50; 3 for 1.00 
The color contrast makes this one of our most attractive and 
popular varieties. Light blue standards and rich pansy purple 
falls. Every iris garden should have Amigo. Not a tall variety. 
ANITRA (H. Sass 1936) Each .40; 3 for .85 
Beautiful silvery sky blue self of large size and fine form. 
ARCTIC (Kleinsorge 1940) Each .50; 3 for 1.00 
A tall handsome variety with creamy white flowers enhanced 
by a bright yellow area throughout the centers. 
AUBANEL (Cayeaux 1935) Each .60; 3 for 1.25 
An older variety but still one of the very best pinkish blends. 
One of the finest iris from France. 
BALLET GIRL (H. Sass 1935) Each .50; 3 for 1.00 
An iris of much charm and most delicate color. Lovely light 
orchid pink. 
BALMUNG (H. Sass 1939) Each .75; 3 for 1.50 
One of the most striking yellow plicatas. Entire flower is yel- 
low with the edges of the falls and standards dotted and sanded 
brown. A fine iris in all respects. 
BANDMASTER (Hall 1944) Each 2.00; 3 for 5.00 
A very large light blue iris, a few shades lighter than Great 
Lakes. A robust grower with immense foliage. 
BERKELEY GOLD (Salbach 1942) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.00 
This grand new yellow has gained in popularity each year 
since its introduction. Highly recommended. 
Each 3.00; 3 for 7.50 
Color pattern is similar 
BERMUDA SAND (Hall 1939) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.00 
Large ruffled flowers of golden coffee tan. 
BLACK AND GOLD (Kleinsorge 1943) Each 1.50 
Deep golden yellow and blackish red variegata. A bold and 
swarthy color combination that is most striking. 
BLACK BANNER (Nicholls 1947) Each 2.50 
A new black iris of sleek finish and slightly flaring form. Just 
as dark as SABLE but red toned rather than violet. Very rapid 
increaser. 
BLACK FOREST (Schreiner 1945) Each 3.50 
If you desire the darkest iris on the market you need look no 
farther. This is it. The entire flower is silky blue black even to 
the beard. Medium sized blooms on 30 inch stems. 
BLUE RHYTHM (Whiting 1945) Each 4.00; 3 for 10.00 
All points considered we place this fine iris at the top of the 
medium blue class. Cornflower blue with silvery overcast com- 
bine to display a flower of appealing color and smoothest fin- 
ish. The large flowers are perfectly placed on well branched 
stems 40 inches high. 
BLUMOHR (Marx 1949) Each 15.00 
Our BLUE Wm. Mohr seedling which we believe is destined 
to receive all the praise ever accorded other varieties from 
this line of breeding including Elmohr and Lady Mohr. This 
distinct color break resulting from such a cross in itself is most 
extraordinary. The color is purest lavender blue, near Plum- 
bago blue, according to the Dictionary of Color, with no 
veining whatever even on the hafts. The large rounded flowers 
possess exceptional texture and substance and actually remain 
in perfect condition 3 to 4 days in the garden under adverse 
weather conditions. Branching fair. Height 36 inches. Mid- 
season. H.M., A.I.S. 1949. 
BLUE RIM (Larsen 1948) Each 10.00 
Many iris critics rate this the finest of all blue and white 
plicatas. Huge flowers of superb form and remarkable sub- 
stance distinguished by the sharp clear color pattern. Most 
outstanding in all respects. 
BLUE SHIMMER (J. Sass 1942) Each 1.50; 3 for 3.00 
Our choice of all plicatas. Large graceful snow white flowers 
with wide stippled blue borders. 
BLUE VALLEY (Smith 1947) Each 10.00 
Praised by those who have seen it and hailed as the bluest 
iris to date. Huge wavy flowers of flaring form and definitely 
the nearest to real blue that we have seen in any bearded 
iris. 3 feet. 
BRYCE CANYON (Kleinsorge 1944) Each 3.50 
Superb reddish brown or henna copper iris which has won 
much acclaim throughout the country.
