Mrs. David Hall Relaxes on the Terrace at Iris Time 



ACTION FRONT (Cook, 1942) Each 75c 



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. 



ADMIRAL NIMITZ (Graves, 1948) Each $2.50 



A spectacular new white from a famous introducer. The crisp, firm flow- 

 ers, with closely domed standards and semi-flaring falls are large and 

 very white, surmounted by a thick brilliant gold beard. This combination 

 suggests a naval officer in white with rich gold shoulder ornaments. Fine 

 spacing of flowers, a husky grower, 36 to 42 inches in height. HM AIS, 

 1948. 



Argus Pheasant 



ALADDIN'S WISH (Murawksa, 1945) Each $1.00 



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. Shown on page 30. 



ALICIA (Rawlins, 1948) Each $5.00 



Beautiful silvery blue with cool, crisp iridescence. This Iris combines 

 the best qualities of both parents, Gloriole and Great Lakes, about mid- 

 way beween the two in shade and with a minimum of veining. Very 

 smooth. HM AIS, 1951. 



ALLINE ROGERS (Kleinsorge, 1950) Each $5.00 



The form of this flower resembles Cascade Splendor, one of its parents, 

 but the color inclines more to pink or rose, with just a suggestion of 

 ashes of roses in its cast. There is considerable gold in the blending of 

 color, especiallv near the haft. Style arms and beard are both golden 

 yellow. Falls are wide and quite flat, standards upright and closed, the 

 entire flower heavily ruffled. 34 inches tall. HM AIS, 1951. See page 37. 



ALPINE GLOW (Kleinsorge 1945) Each $1.00 



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

 It has a slaty overcast, suggesting the soft colors of mountain 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. 



AMANDINE (Douglas, 1946) Each $3.00 



Large flaring cream self, slightly flushed with lemon. The wide flaring 

 falls are slightly ruffled and the standards are nicely domed. Height 3 

 ft. Winner of the President's Cup at the A.I.S. meeting in Nashville in 

 1948. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1948. 



AMIGO (Williamson, 1934) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



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 in- 

 tense violet-purple edged the color of the standards. 34 inches tall, a 

 fine grower and good reliable bloomer. HM AIS, 1936; AM, 1938. Turn 

 to page 34.
