ARCTIC 
ARIANE (Cayeux 1935): M. 36 in. An imported French plicata. 
The blue and the white blending gives this Iris a distinct color-

bloom very abundantly. Each 60c; 3 for $1.50

AUBURN (Kleinsorge 1945): V.E. 36 in. Both the standards and 
the falls are a coppery henna-brown, with an undertone of gold, 
and the falls have a brilliant patch of blue in the center of the 
tip of the beard. We feel that this fragrant Iris is well named 
and that it is a relatively new color in Iris. H.M., 1946. IIlustrat-

AZURE SKIES (Pattison 1943): M.L. 34 in. The pale azure-blue 
flowers are beautifully ruffled and have domed standards and

BALLET DANCER (Kleinsorge 1949): M.L. 36 in. A golden

in color than Jean Cayeux and is an excellent grower with 
sturdy stalks. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 
BEVERLY (Lapham 1939): M. 32 in. The large well shaped 
flowers of deep pink have a distinct golden brown edge and a 
yellow beard. It has a wonderful garden effect as the blooms 
are of good size, well shaped and it increases rapidly. 
Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 
BLACK DIAMOND (Schreiner 1951). M.L. 33 in. A fine name for 
a large heavily substanced, ebony-blue-black flower that glistens

a remarkable Iris for the foreground. This is a remarkable ad- 
vance in the dark Iris. H.M., 1952.
