ACTION FRONT (Cook, 1942) Each $2.50 



A huge flower of glowing deep coppery red, with extra brood 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 $5.00 



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 35. 



ALASTOR (Spender, 1940) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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. A.M AIS, 1941. 



ALBA SUPERBA (J. Sass, 1943) Each $7.50 



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 50c; 3 for $1.25 



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 $5.00 



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

 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 8.
