Awards of the American Iris Society following variety description 

 are indicated thus: HM.— Honorable Mention; AM.— Award of Merit. 



ACCENT (Buss, '53) Each $2.00 



Large, tall and vigorous variegata. The clean yellow standards contrast 

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

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

 Year" for 1958. 46 inches. 



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



A spectacular white from a famous introducer. The crisp, firm flowers, 

 with closely domed standards and semi-flaring falls are large and very 

 white; surmounted by a thick brilliant gold beard. This combination 

 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. 



AL BORAK (DeForest, '52) Each $1.50 



A very large brown and copper-russet flower, having wide 

 spreading falls with extremely wide hafts. A light brown gar- 

 den effect in an Iris which many judges regard as absolutely 

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

 AIS, 1953. 



ALLINE ROGERS (Kleinsorge, '50) Each $1.50 

 The form of this flower resembles Cascade Splendor, 

 one of its parents, but the color inclines more to pink 

 or rose, with just a suggestion 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 15. 



AMANDINE (Douglas, '46) Each $1.00 



Large flaring cream self, slightly flushed with lemon. The wide flaring 

 falls are slightly ruffled and the standards are nicely 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 26.
