JAMES BAIRD FARM, NEW YORK, at the height of the iris 

 season. Most of theses plants came originally from Cooley's 

 Gardens, 3000 miles away. 



9*Ui< from New 



One of the very feiv perennials which knows no bounds o 

 climate or geography .... we have shipped them to Alask 

 and to New Zealand, and they grow and bloom lustily i 

 both places and in a thousand intermediate spots both her 

 and abroad. North and South, in every state, Cooley's Irist 



Dwarfs, Intermediates and Fall Bloomers 

 on pages 40 and 41. 



ALINE Each $2.00 



A truly lovely clean pure blue, large in size, on 

 tall stems. This iris possesses an unusual enamel-like 

 lustre which sets it apart from all other blues. Stock 

 is scarce, hence it would be wise to order early. 



ALLIES Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



A French autumn flowering iris that has the habit 

 of flowering intermittently throughout the summer as 

 well as in spring and fall. Color is a combination of 

 red-brown and fawn, a bit on the order of Dauntless. 

 Rhizomes usually small but the flowers are of large 

 size and the plants free blooming. 



ALLUWE Each 35c 



A new type variegata blend from Hans Sass. 

 Standards of yellow with a peachy suffusion, falls 

 very long, of a ruddy tone shading into gold at the 

 edges. Extra late, very tall. 



ALTA CALIFORNIA Each 30c; 3 for 75c 



Standards clear yellow, falls deep yellow, faintly 

 bronzed. One of the tallest of all irises, very popular 

 among the new yellows, a reliable performer in 

 Minnesota as well as New England and California. 

 The large blossoms are of firm smooth texture, pro- 

 duced on splendid stems. Shown in color on page 39. 



AMENTI Each $1.00 



A Sass introduction of 1936. Grayish vinaceous 

 standards, light mauve falls, pale yellow beard. This 

 is a lovely pastel described by one admirer as a dif- 

 ferent Pres. Pilkington. The flowers are large, on 

 finely branched stalks. 



AMIGO Each $3.00 



Remember the old B. Y. Morrison? In this new in- 

 troduction from the Longfield Iris Farm we have a 

 flower of similar type, with light lavender standards 

 and very deep hyacinth violet falls, edged the color 

 of the standards and margined white. Of Dominion 

 form and pansy-like texture. 



AMITOLA Each $2.00 



Another Sass variety of 1937, something along the 

 lines of Rameses in coloring, but coming from the 

 originators of that Dykes Medal winner it can be 

 relied upon to be a real and distinct novelty. 



ANAKIM Each $1.50; 3 for $3.50 



Gigantic lavender, so outstanding in its color class 

 as to defy all predecessors. Despite its colossal size, 

 the flowers are graceful in effect, well carried on 

 stems over four feet tall. The extremely broad falls 

 are a noticeable feature. One of the parents of the 

 new Wm. Mohr seedling, Ormohr. 



ANGELUS Each $10.00 



A new pink blend, size and shape of Depute Nom- 

 blot, of which it is a seedling. In color it is a bright 

 light pink, with slight lavender iridescence just below 

 the lemon beard. Throughout the center of the flower 

 there is a delicate infusion of lemon yellow. Because 

 of its size, heavy texture, and broad falls, it ranks as 

 one of the very best of recent pink introductions. Pro- 

 duced in Wisconsin, its hardiness is beyond question. 

 Height about three feet. 



ANITRA Each $5.00 



Beautiful shapely pale blue, color of the old vari- 

 ety Celeste, but of great size and splendid form. This 

 is quite likely the finest blue iris ever originated by 

 the Sass Brothers. Shown on page 7. 



ANNDELIA Each 20c; 3 for 50c 



One of the last to bloom, a dainty pink plicata that 

 produces a lavish amount of ruffled blossoms. Seldom 

 offered. Rather low growing habit. 



ANNE MARIE CAYEUX Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



The smooth, soft tones of this iris are indescrib- 

 able. The introducer says "a blending of the sky's 

 colors at sunset and those of a pigeon's throat." The 

 flowers are very large, of a thick and leathery sub- 

 stance. The whole effect is wonderfully beautiful — 

 soft rosy heliotrope blended with grayish amber, 

 beard orange. 



APRICOT Each $8.00 



A seedling of Far West, a solidly colored golden 

 apricot self. The individual flowers are of medium to 

 large size, with a slight fluting and ruffling in both 

 standards and falls. Height about 3 feet. A Kleinsorge 

 origination which we introduced last year and which 

 is especially desirable because of its beauty at close 

 range, when seen across the garden, or under arti- 

 ficial light indoors. Stock very limited this year.
