AVONDALE (H. Sass, 1934) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



Subdued shades of violet and copper, with a very vivid orange beard 

 and inner glow. Has been referred to as fuchsia colored. A popular 

 variety that blooms extra late and succeeds everywhere. Height 32 

 inches. 



AZTEC COPPER (Kleinsorge, 1939) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A rare and subtle blend of smoky violets and delicate coppers, blended 

 and washed together in lovely harmony so as to baffle description. 

 Positively huge, with broad hafts and leathery substance, wonderfully 

 branched. 36 to 40 inches. HM AIS, 1940. 



AZURE SKIES (Pattison, 1943) Each $7.50 



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 bv 

 many to be the most lovely of all light blue Iris to date. 36 inches. 

 AM AIS, 1945. 



BALMUNG (H. Sass, 1939) Each $2.50; 3 for $6.50 



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

 plicatas. The ground color is a definite yellow and the markings are 

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

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

 and good habits. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1942. Shown on page 12. 



BANDMASTER (Hall, 1944) Each $7.50 



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 $5.00 



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 15. Distinctive and 

 attractive shape and something apart from the usual run in Iris colors. 

 Height 3 feet or slightly over.
