Awards of the American Iris Society 

 following variety description are indicated 

 thus: HM.— Honorable Mention; AM.— 

 Award of Merit. 



ACCENT (Buss, '53) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Large, tall and vigorous variegata. The clean yellow standards con- 

 trast most agreeably with the rose-red falls. Its bright color and huge 

 size resulted in its having been selected as one of the five "Iris of the 

 Year" for 1958. 36 inches. 



ADMIRAL NIMITZ (Graves, '48) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



A spectacular 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 com- 

 bination of color and form 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. 



AGATINE (Schreiner, '59) Each $5.00 



A supremely smooth, trimly tailored, velvety red. It is one of the 

 earliest reds to bloom, with Pacemaker and Argus Pheasant in its 

 breeding background. 34 inches. 



TRULY YOURS 



AHOY (Tompkins, '57) Each $7.50 



Best described as a rosy toned cherry-red with a faint undertone of 

 blue that adds to its brilliance and carrying power. Flowers are large, 

 heavily substanced and have lovely flaring form. 36-inch, well branch- 

 ed stems. Medium late. 



ALALOA (Gibson, '59) Each $7.50 



Lemon-yellow with a lighter area in the center of the falls. Remem- 

 ber the old variety Elsa Sass? This is a somewhat similar color ar- 

 rangement but the comparison is hardly adequate. Alaloa ("Little 

 Song") is a huge blossom, very wide and full, the standards broad, 

 domed and glistening. Falls flare and possess a heavy enamel-like tex- 

 ture. It is a flower for foreground planting since its height is only 

 about two feet. There is surely a definite place for plants of such 

 stature and you will be thrilled with this one!
