LATE DATE (Ernst, '67) Each $20.00 



Illustrated on the left . . . and comes honestly by the name, 

 since it is at its peak of bloom after almost all others have 

 practically finished. Standards and falls are both white 

 in the central areas and shade gradually to a uniform, 

 bright violet-blue at the outer edges. Beard is white but 

 glows slightly orange within the Hower. This is a bi-tone 

 blend and not in any sense a plicata. 36 inches tall, with 

 good placement.

AFTER ALL 



ACCENT (Buss, '53) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Large, tall and vigorous variegata. The clean yellow standards con- 

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

 huge size resulted in its having been selected as one of the five 

 "Iris of the Year" for 1958. 36 inches. 



AFTER DARK (Schreiner, '63) Each $5.00 



Deepest, velvety, rich violet-blue. The big, shghtly rufl3ed flowers 

 are produced on four-branched stems reaching to 44 inches in 

 height. Early. HM AIS, 1964. 



ALALOA (Gibson, '59) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Lemon-yellow with a lighter area in the center of the falls. Falls 

 flare and possess a heavy enamel-like texture. It is a flower for fore- 

 ground planting since its height is only about two feet. HM AIS, 

 1961. See page 58. 



ALASKAN CROWN (J. Nelson '66) Each $20.00 



This ruffly combination of white and gold is regarded bv Mrs. 

 Nelson as one of the most distinct and beautiful things she has 

 originated. Broad of petal, in both standards and falls, it is pure 

 white with heavy lace and "crimpings" of yellow all about the 

 edges. Hafts are deep yellow set with reddish-orange beards. 

 Height, branching, size and substance are all excellent.
