FLUTED COPPER 



AL BORAK (Deforest '52) Each $1.00 



A very large brown and copper-russet flower, having wide spreading falls with extremely 

 wide hafts. A light brown garden effect in an Iris which many judges regard as absolutely 

 perfect in form. Three feet in height, finely branched. HM AIS, 1953. 



ALICE LEMEN (Plough, '57) Each $10.00 



This big, lacy beauty hints of Truly Yours in form and size though it is of lighter and 

 softer color tones and the two are not related. The giant flowers are heavily laced and 

 fringed, on very tall stems. Falls are white, shaded Empire yellow at the haft; standards are 

 solid Empire yellow and the beard is also yellow. HM AIS. 1960. 



ALLAGLOW (Tompkins, '58) Each $15.00 



A gigantic new Iris of bright sunburst-gold, blended bittersweet-orange, with an all-over 

 flush of clear copper-yellow. The whole flower has a glistening gold dusted finish and a 

 tiny flash of orchid at the tip of the chrome beard. Very broad petaled, with flaring, ruffled 

 falls and wide domed standards. Late; 38 inches. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1960. 



ALLEGIANCE (Cook, '58) Each $15.00 



This is certainly a masterpiece, from an Iris breeder whose skill has produced a long line 

 of Iris of distinction and highest quality. The giant flowers are of deepest navy blue, over- 

 laid with velvet, the standards are silky and lustrous. The beards are medium blue tipped 

 lemon-chrome. Color is even and solid clear into the throat. 40 inches; late. HM AIS, 1958; 

 AM, 1960. 



ALLINE ROGERS (Kleinsorge, '50) 



Each 75c 



The form of this flower resembles Cascade 

 Splendor, one of its parents, but the color in- 

 clines more to pink or rose, with just a sug- 

 gestion of ashes of roses in its cast. There is 

 considerable gold in the blending of color, 

 especially 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. HM 

 AIS, 1951. See page 31. 



ALPENROSE (Schreiner, '59) Each $10.00 



Silvery, iridescent lavender-rose— a sort of 

 ashes-of-roses tone— with a dusty beard in per- 

 fect harmony. Stems reach 38 inches and the 

 broad falls flare gracefully. A quiet, restful 

 and serene hue in a large and well formed Iris. 



AMANDINE (Douglas, '46) Each 75c 



Large flaring cream self, slightly flushed with 

 lemon. The wide flaring falls are slightly ruf- 

 fled and the standards are nicelv domed. 

 Height 3 feet. Winner of the President's Cup 

 at the AIS meeting in Nashville in 1948. HM 

 AIS, 1946; AM, 1948. Shown on page 33. 



AMETHYST FLAME (Schreiner, '58) 



Each $12.00 



Immense in size and elegant in form, a curi- 

 ously tinted blend of lavender or light violet 

 and rosy heliotrope. The "shoulders" of the 

 falls carry an overlay of chestnut and the beard 

 is almost white. Nicelv ruffled, 38 inches tall, 

 medium late. HM AIS, 1958; AM. 1960. Plant 

 Patent No. 1793. 



ANNETTE (Hall, '55) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A tawny deep rose with w-idely flaring, almost 

 flat falls. The entire flower carries a copperv 

 cast but the center is all aglow with the bril- 

 liant red beards. Quite different from other 

 Hall things. 34 inches tall. HM AIS. 1956. See 

 page 21. 



ANTHEM (Schreiner, '58) Each $5.00 



The richness of the fuchsia-purple tone is in- 

 tensified by a generous margin of bronze 

 around the huge falls. There is also a subtle 

 infusion of this same bronze tint in the taf- 

 feta-like standards. Metallic plum might well 

 describe the general color effect of this new 

 giant. Beard is lemon. 40 inches; fairly earlv. 

 HM AIS, 1960. 



APPLAUSE (Hall, '56) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A color break in the quest for new pinks. This 

 new Iris is not pink ... it is a self of light 

 mauve-lilac with odd markings of violet ir- 

 regularly spaced on the falls. The flowers are 

 large with broad segments, very freely pro- 

 duced on well branched stems, 3 feet tall. A 

 novel flower individually and a beautiful mass 

 of color. 



APRICOT DANCER (Noyd, '58) 



Each $7.50 



A late flowering orange-apricot self, from a 

 cross of June Bride and Temple Bells. The 

 horizontal and flaring falls are nicelv fringed 

 with lace. Substance is extra heavy. Here is a 

 decidedlv rich piece of color which won the 

 HM of the AIS in 1959. 



ARABI PASHA (Anley, '53) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Deep cornflower-blue with blue-tipped beard. 

 A new one from England which won the Dykes 

 Medal there in 1953 and is about the most 

 vivid deep blue we have ever seen. Flat, spread- 

 ing falls. 32 inches.
