MAYTIME 
BEL-AIR (Milliken) 
A bit on the tender side, but for a mild climate this lovely large 
iris of medium blue-violet with its beautifully ruffled standards 
and falls, and a fragrance out of this world, coupled with the added 
attraction of siving a wealth of winter bloom, is surely one of 
the most valuable. 21% ft. $1.50 
BELLERIVE (Benson)—H.M., A.LS. 50; President’s Cup 52 
A cream iris which seems to have every good quality in full 
measure. It is the richest cream in the entire color group, the 
petals have extremely heavy substance. 
BEN BOLT (Lothrop) oe 
Outstanding velvety pansy purple, a regal iris, carrying per- 
fectly shaped blossoms atop well-branched stalks. 36 in. $2.00 
BLACK FOREST (Schreiner)—A.M., A.LS. °48 
A chic flower, very tailored and trim done in gleaming blue- 
black with matching beard. Provides striking contrast when 
planted with lighter varieties. 33 in. $1.00 
BLUMOHR (Marx)—A.M., A.LS. 752 
This lovely lavender-blue seedling of Wm. Mohr is surely des- 
tined to go far. The blossoms are perfectly rounded, the surfaces 
are smooth and devoid of veining. Perfect with pinks. 3 ft. $5.00 
BLUE ELEGANCE (Jory)— H.M., A.LS. 749 
Delightful, clear blue with the full, wide Mohr form. This spec- 
tacular iris is tall and a showman in any garden. $2.00 
BLUE RHYTHM (Whiting)—Dykes Medal 50 
Very lovely cornflower blue iris which flowers late, and is ex- 
tremely generous with its beautifully formed blossoms which are 
carried high on sturdy stalks. 3 ft. $1.00 
BLUE VALLEY (Smith)—A.M., A.LS. ’49 
Probably the closest to a true blue iris, but even though this 
may remain a matter of controversy, here is one of the loveliest 
blues we have seen. 3 ft. $1.00 
BLUE VIOLET (Craig) 
Long overlooked, this is perhaps one of the most beautiful iris 
in its class. An intense violet-blue that really carries, and huge, 
well-formed flowers make it truly impressive. $1.50

BOLD CONTRAST (Linse) ; 
A new variegata from Mr. Linse, that we can’t wait to see. Let 
him describe it: “Standards are Inca gold, with minute rose vein- 
ing, giving them a faint rosy flush. The broad semi-flaring falls 
are red—between raspberry and mauve rose, with narrow edging 
of gold. The underside is gold—but differs in that it has red vein- 
ing, which seems to intensify the color of the upper side, which is 
absolutely smooth.” Can you blame us? Wouldn’t you like to see 
it, too? $15.00 
BRYCE CANYON (Kleinsorge) 
Rich, warm henna-copper self, with broad well-rounded falls 
and firmly arched standards. Performs well everywhere. $1.00 
BUCKTHORN BROWN (Milliken) 
A glistening brown flower with a blaze of blue-violet extending 
from the end of the golden beard. In slanting light the surfaces 
seem to be sprinkled with gold dust. With us here in California 
it blooms profusely every November, while in colder sections it 
blooms along with the intermediates. The flowers are medium 
sized and have a delightful fragrance. 3 ft. Reblooms. $1.50

BURGUNDY SPLASH (Craig) 
Another gorgeous fancy. The flowers are large, with stand- 
ard color a muted burgundy-red, but on the falls the color splashes 
all over the cream falls, and ends up in a one-inch border of pure 
burgundy-red. $5.00 
BURNING DRIFTWOCD (Milliken) 
An intriguing iris with a ground color like mellowed driftwood. 
A glowing orange beard from which radiate a myriad of colors 
—hlues, violets and golds. Heavily textured throughout with al- 
most horizontal falls which are crimped at the edges. 3 ft. $1.50 
CAHOKIA (Faught)—A.M., A.LS. 51 
It would not be difficult to believe that a fairy had fashioned 
this lovely light blue flower, and as a last finishing touch had 
dipped a tiny paint brush into the heavens and gently sketched 
in the veining, and borrowed a shaft of sunlight for the golden 
beard. Exquisite. 3 ft. $3.00 
CAMPFIRE GLOW (Whiting)—H.M., A.LS. °47 
A smouldering red with copper glints overlaying the deeper 
color. Even the beard is red and the hafts are smooth. Small 
plants. $2.00
