BALMUNG (H. Sass, 1939)
Text Appearing After Image:
Each $2.50 Just about the finest, in our opinion, of all the Sass series ot yellow plicatas. A more yellow Siegrfied, with better form and carriage. Much larger than others of this series, with tall stems and good habits. Clean markings of brown etch both standards and falls. H.M. A.I.S. 1940. A.M. 1942. BANDMASTER (Hall, 1944) Each $7.50 A very large vigorous growing and free blooming medium blue, a few shades lighter than The Admiral. The color holds up un- usually well. One of the bluest of irises, it received a Highly Commended award before its introduction. Form, substance and branching are good. 3b inches tall. H.VI. A.I.S. 1944. BATAAN (Klein., 1942) Each $5.00 A \"cry dark blend of coppery plum, henna and rich brown. Freshly opened flowers exhibit a very pronounced henna cast, some of which is missing in the illustration. An attractive feature of this iris is its rather oval shape, the falls starting to flare widely and then gracefully curving downward and slightly backward at the tips—horizontally oval, not elon- gated. This provides an eyefull when viewed at any angle. Dr. Kleinsorge again gives us something apart .from the u^ual run of iris colors, in a plant with good growing habits, well branched stalks, and flowers above a\erage size. Height three feet or slightly over. BERKELEY 1942) GOLD (Salbach, Each $5.00 MISSOURI AVONDALE (H. Sass, 1934) Each 40c Subdued shades of violet and copper, with a very vivid orange beard and inner glow. An iris which has attained great popularity for its unique color and general excellence. AZTEC COPPER (Klein., 1939) Each $2; 3 for $5.00 A rare and subtle blend of smoky violets and delicate coppers, blended and washed together in lovely harmony to baffle description. Positively huge, with broad hafts and leatherv substance, wonderfuUv branched. 3ti to 40 in. H.M. A.I.S. 1940. AZURE SKIES (Pattison, 1943) Each $10.00 Originally called "Summer Skies" by Mrs. Pattison, the originator, this is a self of pale azure blue with firm domed standards and flaring almost horizontal falls. The flowers are beautifully ruffled and have wide hafts, surmounted by a white beard. It has been declared by many who have seen it to be the most lovely of all light blue iris to date. 3fo inches. This was a sensation in our garden during the blooming season just ended. It is the tallest and probably the richest deep yellow that we have e\ er grown. The flowers are very large on well-branched stems that reach four feet in height. A new yellow from Carl Salbach that is worth much more than the modest price asked for a new introduction. H.M. A.I.S. 1944. BERMUDA SAND (D. Hall, 1939) Each $1.50 A glorified and gigantic Jean Cayeux, both standards and falls heavily ruffled. Deeper in color than Jean Cayeux, a light coffee tan with a glint of gold. Freshly opened blooms are reddish gold. Strong growing with clean broad foliage and sturdy bloom stalks. It is one of the famous seedlings from David Hall of Wilmette, Illinois. BEVERLY (Lapham, 1939) Each $1.50 This is a new iris most suitable for garden effect, decidedly pink in tone, increasing rapidly and blooming abundantly. Blooms are of good size, well shaped, and have a distinct edge of golden brown. Heavy yellow beard, slight gold reticu- lations. One of the new Lapham pinks. BIRCHBARK (Klein., 1940) Ea. 75c; 3 for $2.00 A white Irom Dr. Kleinsorge, introduced in 1940. A very large flower, the falls broadly spreading and with a pronounced rounded shape. Solid clean white, with a very cool inner glow. Of medium height, to three feet, with splendid branching. One of the parents of "Arctic." BLUE SHIMMER (J. Sass, 1942) Each $12.50 An entirely different plicata, clean sparkling white with an all- over pattern of clear blue stippling. The blue seems to be "peppered" on the white background in an even manner, rather than in the familiar button-hole-stitch style. The flowers are very large, full and rounded. Certainly one of the most outstanding irises of the past two or three seasons. H.M. A.I.S. 1942; A.M. 1944. BLUE ZENITH (Whiting, 1942) Each $3.50 A large and tall campanula sky blue—one of the loveliest and best of the new blues. The flowers are slightly ruffled. Hardy and an easy grower. BONANZA (J. Sass, 1939) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 Most >ellow of all the new type plicatas, with very rich ground color and thick veining of brown on the standards, less on the falls. A rapid growing and prolific flowering variety. BROWN THRASHER (Kirk., 1941) Each $15.00 After a slow start this iris really came into its own last year. It has gorgeous color, a brilliant golden light brown with lustrous sheen—not velvety. The tall stems bear several well spaced blossoms of large size, shaped considerably like Copper Lustre, but far more alive and colorful. Altogether different from Tobacco Road, it is one of the very best brown irises and it really appears brown. H.M. A.I.S. 1940, A.M. 1943 8
