AMIGO (Williamson, 1934) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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 1 945 was given a special 

 award by the English Iris Society. Standards ore clear light violet- 

 blue; falls intense violet-purple edged the color of the standards. 

 34 inches tali, a fine grower and good reliable bloomer. HM AIS, 

 1936; AM, 1938. Turn to page 16. 



AND THOU (Graves, 1942) Each $2.50 



A self of palest Wedgwood-blue, with a deeper blue flush in rhe 

 center of the bloom. Beard deep blue, tipped white. Strong stalks 

 with good branching, bearing large, rounded flowers. 40 inches tall. 

 HM AIS, 1942. 



ANGELUS (Egelberg, 1937) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



In color a bright light pink, with slight lavender iridescence just 

 below the lemon beard. Throughout the center there is a delicate 

 infusion of lemon-yellow. Large, husky stems, 3 feet toll. Very late. 

 HM AIS, 1939. 



ANITRA (H. Sass, 1936) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



A silvery sky-blue, pure in color, of great size and beautiful form. 

 Particularly effective and strikingly blue in late afternoon and early 

 evening. Midseason; average height. See page 18. 



ANNA WILLIAMSON (Cook, 1946) Each $7.50 



A lovely bright bicolor pink, the standards lighter than the falls. The 

 pink tone is on the rosy side, with an underlying yellow suffusion. 

 Large flower, broad petals and ideal form, three feet tall. HM AIS, 

 1946. 



ARCTIC (Kleinsorge, 1940) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Here is one of the most beautiful and best Iris originated by this 

 famous raiser of notable seedlings. A huge white and gold flower 

 of perfect form, with ruffled but closed standards and broad falls 

 that are as smooth as white enamel. There is an area of bright 

 yellow throughout the center of the flower and the standards have 

 a creamy tint. Established plants will produce spikes four feet and 

 over in height, with as many as six open foamv flowers at one time. 

 HM AIS, 1941; AM, 1942. See at right and also page 3. 



AUBANEL (Cayeux, 1935) Each 75c 



This pink blend from France is one of the loveliest Irises ever received 

 from that country and one of the nearest to pink in color. It is large 

 and well formed, sort of shrimp-pink with a good deal of yellow in 

 the center. Very limited stock. 



AUBURN (Kleinsorge, 1945) 



Each $10.00 



This is certainly a new color in Iris — at least we have never seen 

 anything like it. The name Auburn was selected because it seems 

 especially suited to the flower. Both standards and falls are a 

 coppery henna-brown, with an undertone of gold, and the falls have 

 a brilliant patch of blue in the center at the tip of the beard. This is 

 a remarkably vivid Iris which glows when seen a block distant. Very 

 early, with 36-inch stems. Color plate on opposite page is very 

 close. HM AIS, 1946. 



AZURE SKIES (Pattison, 1943) Each $3.00 



Originally called "Summer Skies" by Mrs. Pattison, the originator, 

 this is a self of pale azure-blue with firm domed standards and flar- 

 ing, almost horizontal falls. The flowers are beautifully ruffled and 

 have wide hafts, surmounted by. a white beard. Declared by many to 

 be the most lovely of all light blue Iris to date. 36 inches. AM AIS, 

 1945. See page 10. 



BAGHDAD (Whiting, 1946) Each $15.00 



A deep, strong yellow, overlaid with a metallic finish of burnished 

 brass. Of pleasingly flaring form, very heavy in substance. This is 

 a strong grower, nicely branched, hardy and increases rapidly. A real 

 "brass-yellow." 



BALMUNG (H. Sass, 1939) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Just about the finest, in our opinion, of all the Sass series of yellow 

 Plicatas. The ground color is a defnite yellow and the markings ore 

 peppered on in cinnamon-brown. Note the illustration — it is a perfect 

 likeness. Much larger than others of this series, with tall stems and 

 good habit. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1942. Shown on page 17. 



BANDMASTER (Hall, 1944) Each $5.00 



A very large, vigorous growing and free blooming medium blue, a 

 few shades lighter than The Admiral and deeper than Great Lakes. 

 The color holds up unusually well. Immense foliage and heavy stems 

 36 to 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1944. 



BATAAN (Kleinsorge, 1942) Each $3.00 



This is a very dark blend of coppery plum, henna and rich brown. 

 Freshly opened flowers exhibit a pronounced henna cast, some of 

 which is missing in the illustration on page 32. Distinctive and 

 attractive shape and something apart from the usual run in iris 

 colors. Height 3 feet or slightly over. 



ARCTIC 



BERKELEY GOLD (Salbach, 1942) Each $2.50 



This fine yellow continues to hold a place near the top in the 

 list of 100 best Iris. Absolutely perfect in form, on stems that 

 average three feet and over, well branched and with flowers of 

 very rich solid yellow, it is regarded by many judges as the 

 world's best yellow Iris. HM AIS, 1944; AM 1946. 



BERMUDA SAND (Hall, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A glorified and gigantic Jean Cayeux, both standards and falls 

 heavily ruffled. Deeper in color than Jean Cayeux, a light 

 coffee-ton with a glint of gold. Freshly opened blooms are 

 reddish gold. Strong growing with broad foliage and sturdy 

 bloom stalks. 



BERTHA GERSDORFF (J. Sass, 1942) Each $2.50 



An oddly feathered flower of pale yellow, marked with rosy 

 purple in a most unusual manner. Standards pinkish shading 

 to yellow; falls yellow brushed with rose-purple. Large blooms, 

 lots of them, on 3-foot stems. 



BLACK BANNER (Nicholls, 1947) Each $7.50 



Velvety, intensely colored near block. Sleek and rich in its 

 midnight hue, with practically solid dark hafts. Introduced 

 last year it was awarded an HM by the American Iris Society. 

 Increases very rapidly and grows well everywhere. Height 3 ft. 

 HM AIS, 1947. 



BLACK & GOLD (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each $5.00 



Standards rich pure chrome-gold; falls solid blackish maroon 

 with some marking at the haft. Well named, it provides a most 

 striking contrast of rich colors. Tall and well branched. 



BLACK FOREST (Schreiner, 1945) Each $10.00 



"Black OS pitch," says the introducer. A rich, silky, ebony 

 blue-black, the effect of which is intensified by a very solid 

 haft and a blackish blue beard. Medium in height, with flaring 

 falls. A very startling new introduction. HM AIS, 1946. 



BLUE FRILLS (Stephenson, 1946) Each $7.50 



Pure azure-blue, darker than Great Lakes but still a light blue 

 Iris. Clear end uniform in color, the flowers rounded in style, 

 and of a rich glossy texture. The blue tinged beard adds to the 

 color note. 34 inches.
