AMIGO (Williamson, '34) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



This richly colored Iris suggests purple Pansies, with its velvety texture 

 and sharp contrasting shades of blue and violet. Standards are clear 

 light violet-blue: falls intense violet-purple edged the color of the stand- 

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

 1936; AM, 1938. 



ANNETTE (Hall, '55) Each $3.50 



A tawny deep rose with widely flaring, almost flat falls. The entire 

 flower carries a coppery 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 8. 



APPLAUSE (Hall, '56) Each $3.50 



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 irregularly 

 spaced on the falls. The flowers are large with broad segments, very 

 freely produced on well branched stems, 3 feet tall. A novel flower 

 individually and a beautiful mass of color. 



ARABI PASHA (Anley, '53) Each $3.00 



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, spreading falls. 32 inches. 



ARGUS PHEASANT (DeForest, '48) Each $1.00 



A smooth soft brown which has become justly famous. Deeper in tone 

 and more metallic in finish than Pretty Quadroon . . . they form a 

 team of the two most beautiful brown Irises of the day. Huge flowers 

 with broad flaring falls and wide standards; orange-brown beard. 38 

 inches tall. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1950; Dykes Medal, 1952. Shown on 

 page 26. 



AZURE LAKE (Muhl., '52) Each $2.00 



Smoothly finished blue with falls that flare horizontally and have the 

 heaviest ruffling imaginable! 36 inches tall; makes a stunning clump. 

 HM AIS, 1954. 



BALLERINA (Hall, '51) Each $1.50 



A very large, rudled, wide petaled flamingo-pink self with deep orange 

 beard. It is a medium to light tone of pink . . . not pale but having 

 plenty of color, a shade lighter than Cherie. Petals are thick and 

 lustrous, the form ideal. Husky stems 3 feet tall, with excellent branch- 

 ing. Hit Parade is one parent. Cherie a grandparent. HM AIS, 1951; 

 AM, 1953
