BALLERINA (Hall 1951) 
A lovely, nicely ruffled, very broad 
petaled seashell-pink with a deep

but much smoother in color and larg- 
er than the 1951 Dykes Medal winner 
"Cherie". Excellent all-round plant 
nicely branched stalks. 35 in. 3.50 
BALLET DANCER (Klein. 1949) 
Here, with its smooth, vivid coloring 
and its broad, wavy almost horizontal 
falls we have the flowing grace and 
flashing brilliance of the swirling 
dancer costumed in billowing golden- 
apricot. An outstanding iris and a 
fine all-round plant. 36-38 in. 1.50 
BLACK AND GOLD (Klein. 1943} 
S bright, deep yellow, falls a solid 
blackish-maroon, An extreme contrast 
in splashing color hardly possible 
except in an iris flower. No other 
iris quite like it. 36 in. not he 
BLACK FOREST (Schreiner 1945) 
Not tall nor large but it's like a 
rare jewel in its perfection of form 
and coloring. The entire flower, beard 
and all, is a solid, lustrous blue- 
black with no haft markings to mar 
its gem like beauty. A treasure for 
foreground planting. 24-28 in. ° 75 
BLACK HILLS (Fay 1951) 
A blue-black seedling of "Black 
Forest" with beard to match and 
shading to a still deeper black at 
the haft. Much taller and larger 
than its parent. 36 in. stalks. 7.00 
LUE BLAZES (Welch 1950) 
Those who can afford it buy it on 
sight - those who can't quickly jot 
it down on their "going to have" 
list. Huge, blocky, broad petaled, 
beautifully ruffled flowers of light 
to medium blue contrasting with its 
rich, orange~yellow beards. An all- 
round outstanding iris. 36-40 in. 2.75
