Alphabetical Iris List 



Dtvarfs, Intermediates and Fall Bloomers on pages 41 to 43. 



ALINE Each $4.00 



A truly lovely clean pure blue, large in size, on 

 tall stems. This iris possesses an unusual enamel-like 

 lustre which sets it apart from all other blues. Stock 

 is scarce, hence it would be wise to order early. 



ALLIES Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



A French autumn flowering iris that has the habit 

 of flowering intermittently throughout the summer as 

 well as in spring and fall. Color is a combination of 

 red-brown and fawn, a bit on the order of Dauntless. 

 Rhizomes usually small but the flowers are of large 

 size and the plants free blooming. 



ALLUWE Each 50c 



A new type variegata blend from Hans Sass. 

 Standards of yellow with a peachy suffusion, falls 

 very long, of a ruddy tone shading into gold at the 

 edges. Extra late, very tall. 



ALTA CALIFORNIA Each 60c; 3 for $1.25 



Standards clear yellow, falls deep yellow, faintly 

 bronzed. One of the tallest of all irises, very popular 

 among the new yellows, a reliable performer in 

 Minnesota as well as New England and California. 

 The large blossoms are of firm smooth texture, pro- 

 duced on splendid stems. Shown in color on page 27. 



AMENTI Each $5.00 



A Sass introduction of 1936. Grayish vinaceous 

 standards, light mauve falls, pale yellow beard. This 

 is a lovely pastel described by one admirer as a dif- 

 ferent Pres. Pilkington. The flowers are large, on 

 finely branched stalks. 



AMIGO Each $5.00 



Remember the old B. Y. Morrison? In this new in- 

 troduction from the Longfield Iris Farm we have a 

 flower of similar type, with light lavender standards 

 and very deep hyacinth violet falls, edged the color 

 of the standards and margined white. Of Dominion 

 form and pansy-like texture. 



AMITOLA Each $7.50 



Another Sass variety of last season, something 

 along the lines of Rameses in coloring, but coming 

 from the originators of that Dykes Medal winner it 

 can be relied upon to be a real and distinct novelty. 



ANAKIM Each $1.50; 3 for $3.50 



Gigantic lavender, so outstanding in its color class 

 as to defy all predecessors. Despite its colossal size, 

 the flowers are graceful in effect, well carried on 

 stems over four feet tall. The extremely broad falls 

 are a noticeable feature. One of the parents of the 

 new Wm. Mohr seedling, Ormohr. 



ANITRA Each $15.00 



Beautiful shapely pale blue, color of the old vari- 

 ety Celeste, but of great size and splendid form. This 

 is quite likely the finest blue iris ever originated by 

 the Sass Brothers. 



ANGELUS Each $15.00 



A new pink blend, size and shape of Depute Nom- 

 blot, of which it is a seedling. In color it is a bright 

 light pink, with slight lavender iridescence just below 

 the lemon beard. Throughout the center of the flower 

 there is a delicate infusion of lemon yellow. Because 

 of its size, heavy texture, and broad falls, it ranks as 

 one of the very best of recent pink introductions. Pro- 

 duced in Wisconsin, its hardiness is beyond question. 

 Height about three feet. 



ANNDELIA Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



One of the last to bloom, a dainty pink plicata that 

 produces a lavish amount of ruffled blossoms. Seldom 

 offered. Rather low growing habit. 



ANNE MARIE CAYEUX Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



The smooth, soft tones of this iris are indescrib- 

 able. The introducer says "a blending of the sky's 

 colors at sunset and those of a pigeon's throat." The 

 flowers are very large, of a thick and leathery sub- 

 stance. The whole effect is wonderfully beautiful — 

 soft rosy heliotrope blended with grayish amber, 

 beard orange. See page 29. 



APRICOT Each $12.00 



A very lovely golden apricot self, seedling of Far 

 West, introduced this year. See page 6. 



ASHTORETH Each 50c 



A delicate yellow of large size and fine form, with 

 very rich yellow buds. This is an excellent and de- 

 pendable garden subject, liberal in flowering habit, 

 surpassed only by the most recent novelty yellows. 



AT DAWNING Each $5.00 



Appropriately named huge flower of arbutus pink 

 and brilliant rose, light yellow at the throat. There 

 is a pearly suffusion in the standards. Stalks are very 

 strong and hold the flowers well aloft on excellent 

 branches. 



AUTUMN DAWN Each 50c; 3 for $1.00 



Fall bloomer of blended old gold and pink — cer- 

 tainly an advance in this type. In California, where 

 it originated, it blooms almost continuously from 

 August through the winter, commencing again in 

 April. Height, two feet. Very rapid increaser, in no 

 way tender. 



AUTUMN FROST Each $3.00 



A large flowered pure white, with golden haft and 

 beard. A fall bloomer. 



AVONDALE Each $2.00 



Very large flower of subdued shades of copper, 

 bronze and violet, beautifully blended. A reddish 

 bronze effect in the garden, with very brilliant golden 

 beard. Height 3 feet. Awarded an H. M. by the iris 

 society in 1936. 



BALDWIN Each 30c 



One of the largest varieties, of a peculiar shade 

 of manganese violet. A sort of heliotrope color, with 

 monster blooms, freely produced.
