ARIANE (Cayeux, 1935) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This is an unusual plicata, much more blue than white, somewhat 

 on the order of Florentine but with a heavier and darker blue 

 ground. A very fine, large and well-formed Iris, it will prove 

 something different for those who like plicatas. 



AUBANEL (Cayeux, 1935) Each $1.00 



This pink blend from France is one of the loveliest Irises ever re- 

 ceived from that country and one of the nearest to pink in color. 

 It is large and well formed, sort of shimp-pink with a good deal 

 of yellow in the center. Very limited stock. 



AVONDALE (H. Sass, 1934) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Subdued shades of violet and copper, with a very vivid orange 

 beard and inner glow. Has been referred to as Fuchsia colored. 

 A popular variety that blooms extra late and succeeds everywhere. 

 Height 32 inches. 



OLA KALA 



AMIGO 



AZTEC COPPER (Kleinsorge, 1939) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A rare and subtle blend of smoky violets and delicate coppers, blended 

 and washed together in lovely harmony so as to baffle description. 

 Positively huge, with broad hafts and leathery substance, wonderfully 

 branched. 36 to 40 inches. HM AIS, 1940. 



AZURE SKIES (Pattison, 1943) Each $5.00 



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 — foils. The flowers are beautifully ruffled and have wide 

 hafts, surmounted by a white beard. Declared by many to be the most 

 lovely of all light blue Iris to date. 36 inches. AM AIS, 1945. 



BALMUNG (H. Sass, 1939) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Just about the finest, in our opinion, of all the Sass series of yellow 

 plicatas. The ground color is a definite yellow and the markings are 

 peppered on in cinnamon-brown. Note the illustration — it is a perfect 

 likeness. Much larger than others of this series, with tall stems and good 

 habits. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1942. Shown on page 8. 



BANDMASTER (Hall, 1944) Each $7.50 



A very large vigorous growing and free blooming medium blue, a few 

 shades lighter than The Admiral and deeper than Great Lakes. The color 

 holds up unusually well. Immense foliage and heavy stems 36 to 40 

 inches tall. HM AIS, 1944. 



BATAAN (Kleinsorge, 1942) Each $5.00 



This is a very dark blend of coppery plum, henna and rich brown. Freshly 

 opened flowers exhibit a pronounced henna cast, some of which is missing 

 in the illustration on page 13. Distinctive and attractive shape and 

 something apart from the usual run in Iris colors. Height 3 feet or 

 slightly over. 



BERKELEY GOLD (Salbach, 1942) Each $4.00; 3 for $10.00 



For the fourth successive year this magnificent new yellow has gained in 

 popularity until it just misses being among the first ten in the list of 

 100 best Iris. Absolutely perfect in form, on stems that average three 

 feet and over, well branched, and with flowers of very rich solid yellow, 

 it is regarded by many judges as the world's finest yellow Iris. HM AIS, 

 1944; AM, 1946.
