ACTION FRONT (Cook, 1942) Each $4.00 



A huge flower of glowing deep coppery red, with extra broad falls 

 and solidly colored haft. Beard is brilliant yellow. A grand grower, 

 with strong stalks and heavy foliage. Height 3 feet. 



ALADDIN'S WISH (Murawksa, 1945) Each $8.00 



A singularly different Iris, the whole flower is a lovely shade of 

 blue with brushings of cream radiating through the blossom, like 

 the first rays of the sun breaking through a lightly overcast dawn. 

 The colors seem to be brushed or marbled on, rather than blended. 

 Large, tall, and very popular. 



ALASTOR (Spender, 1940) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



One of the very few exceptional Irises originated in England just 

 prior to the outbreak of the war. This is a beautiful flower in deep 

 pink tones, vivid and alive, with golden center and a golden hazel- 

 brown haft. AM AIS, 1941. 



ALBA SUPERB A (J. Sass, 1943) Each $15.00 



The newest and best white from the Sass gardens. A huge pure 

 white flower with domed standards and flaring falls, thick sub- 

 stance and well-branched stalks. 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1943. 



ALLUMEUSE (Gage, 1938) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A great improvement over the old variety Sir Michael. Falls are 

 sort of mahogany-red, standards bright violet-blue with bronze 

 cast. Center is fiery orange, due especially to the golden beard. 

 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1938. 



ALPINE GLOW (Kleinsorge, 1945) Each $7.50 



Large flower of subdued rose tones, bordering on lilac or pale 

 violet. It has a slaty overcast, suggesting the soft colors of moun- 

 tain valleys at sundown. The beard is gold and there is some 

 brown shading on the haft. A sturdy and well-branched stalk 40 

 inches tall holds the self-colored blossoms well aloft. Petals are 

 crimped like an Oriental Poppy. HM AIS, 1946. See page 7. 



AMIGO (Williamson, 1934) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This richly colored Iris suggests purple Pansies, with its velvety 

 texture and sharp contrasting shades of blue and violet. It is one 

 of the most popular varieties of all time and in 1945 was given 

 a special award by the English Iris Society. Standards are clear 

 light violet-blue, falls intense violet-purple edged the color of the 

 standards. 34 inches tall, a fine grower and good reliable bloomer.

ARAB CHIEF (Whiting, 1944) Each $6.00 



An Iris of rich and brilliant coloring — very near to burnt orange 

 in effect. It is a pure self of intense color value, of large size, 

 pleasing form and has exceptionally vigorous growing and bloom- 

 ing habits. HM AIS, 1946. 



ARCTIC (Kleinsorge, 1940) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Here is one of the most beautiful and best Iris originated by this 

 famous raiser of notable seedlings. A huge white and gold flower 

 of perfect form, with ruffled but closed standards and broad falls 

 that are as smooth as white enamel. There is an area of bright 

 yellow throughout the center of the flower and the standards have 

 a creamy tint. Established plants will produce spikes four feet 

 and over in height, with as many as six open foamy flowers at one 

 time. HM AIS, 1941; AM, 1942. See above and also page 3.
