BLUE PINAFORE (F. Cook 1951) EM. 38”. 
Snow Flurry imparts a vivacity of style to its progeny which 
sets them in a class apart. Blue Pinafore inherits this de- 
bonair, insouciant ruffling plus a color effect equally unique, 
suggestive of the white blaze on Japanse Iris. From this 
glowing whiteness, like a deft water coloring, ever deepening 
tints of lavender-blue blend imperceptibly to the deeper scal- 
loped margins. A meritorious new Iris from Dr. Franklin 
Cook, a past president of the American Iris Society. $7.50 
BLUE RHYTHM (Whiting 1945) ML. 38”. * 
We like this Iris very much. A medium blue with a silvery 
tone, it lacks nothing in branching, 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 instantly. The first Iris to capture the Presi- 
dent’s Cup, the Dykes Medal and the Wisley Award (English) 
in the same year—a three time winner! HM’45. AM/’47.

BLUE RIM (Larsen 1948) M. 36”. 
Very large, round flowered plicata. The ground color of white 
is tinted blue with a pronounced etching of blue stitches. 
HM’49. $5.00 
BLUE SHIMMER (J. Sass 1942) M. 38”. * 
Charming and capricious, a plicata of utmost 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 
ALADDIN’S plant habit in stem, stalk and flower is all very satisfactory. 
WISH One of the most distinct Iris originated in this class in years 
and one of the outstanding Iris; fragrant. Pictured page 18.

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 sparkling sheen. Novel in form and color, scented. 
HM’47. AM’49. $5.00; 3 for $12.00
