COLORGLO (Schreiner 1953) M. 40”. 
HALOLIGHT (Schreiner 1953) L. 42”. 
BLACK CASTLE (Schreiner 1953) M. 32”. 
If I may say so, our seedling field has shown some rather re- 
markable advances in blacks, so much so that a Voltairish 
visitor abjured us when we get to pure black “not to go any 
further.” In the falls of BLACK CASTLE, accurately de- 
picted on page 2, we have really reached almost the limit. 
(The left standard is over-exposed.) BLACK CASTLE is not 
quite as tall as STORM WARNING but in its falls is even 
closer to jet. The orange beard is indescribably rich. For a 
really deep orange tone in the symphony of iris colors, try 
these new blacks! No. G254C. $20.00 
BLUE SAPPHIRE (Schreiner 1953) E. 40”. 
To many flower lovers, the chief glory of iris are the blues, 
which have scarcely any important competition in the flower 
kingdom except among delphiniums. Yet, strangely, outstand- 
ing light blue iris are not numerous. Here is one of extra 
large size and exquisite purity which we feel will take its 
place alongside Helen McGregor, Distance and Jane Phillips. 
A seedling of Chivalry and Snow Flurry, BLUE SAPPHIRE 
makes a magnificent clump, exhibiting floriferousness and 
stalwart poise. Its charming, insouciant ruffling belies its ex- 
traordinarily heavy substance. A superb background iris that 
the wind won’t blow over nor rain injure. A very blue blue, 
like a silvery Jane Phillips. Our picture on page 49 does not 
do justice to this outstandingly valuable blue. No. G28A. 
$15.00 
Dramatic in concept, brilliant in rendition, this stunning 
color gem in rose-pink and gold needs no word picture 
to enhance its gripping beauty. Truly a topmost blend! 
No. G318. $15.00 
A mellifluous blend of golden buff and subtle 
apricot shot with a radiance of pure gold. As 
our engraver will testify, see right, HALO- 
LIGHT beautifully exemplifies the aristocratic 
bearing of a finely-bred iris, opulence of form 
and perfection of branching leaving little to be : 
desired. Truly an ideal garden subject. No.
