Cup Race $5.00 Rippling Rose $12.50 BLUE SAPPHIRE (Schreiner, '53) E. 36" Each $1.00 "Heavenly blue" is a phrase befitting the ruffled addition to an in- creasingly popular color class. Lighter in tone than many others, with a glowing gold beard it is large in size, on tall well branched stalks which defy both wind and rain. HM AIS, 1954; AM, 1956; DYKES Medal, 1958. See page 52. 'It was like Christmas when I opened the box of beautiful, fine Iris you sent me and I'm delighted to see such large healthy plants. Especially nice was the surprise of the extra Iris you sent." G.B.M., California BLUSHING BEAUTY (Noyd, '64) M. 38" Each $3.00 A warm white with hafts of definite blush pink and a bright coral red beard. Apple Valley is in its parentage. Contrast of colors is striking, the very large blossoms well spaced on stems over three feet in height as it grows here. HM AIS, 1965. BONANZA BELLE (Gibson, 71) ML. 36" Each $20.00 Opalescent standards of coppery apricot, waved, fluteci and folded, very full and upright but closed at the top. Extra large style-arms and a heavy yellow beard are notable features. The falls are broad and rounded, pinkish white, shading out to a blended margin of apricot to match the standards. See page 5. BRASILIA (Schreiner, '61) t^. 35" Each $1.50 Deep but very brilliant henna-brown-red. This is a new and striking color in Iris, much more lively than others in the brownish color tones. It is large, well proportioned and beautifully branched. HM AIS, 1962. See page 44. BRASS ACCENTS (Schreiner, '59) M. 40" Each $1.50 Golden coffee-brown, regal in carriage, huge in size, ideal in form. We regard this seedling of Inca Chief as a leader amongst the host of beautiful brown Iris now available. HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1961. Shown on page 49. BRAVADO (HaW, '59) M. 35" Each $1.00 Deepest golden yellow, ruffled and with wide petals. There is some- thing about this flower—heaviness of texture, metallic glisten, or uniform depth of golden richness—that draws instant attention in the garden or on the show table. HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1963. Shown on page 53.
