WoM% finest Irises 



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 ALL (Dave Hall, '67) Each $12.00 



The heavily fringed and flounced petals of this deep, ivory-cream 

 Iris suggests some of the intricate lace-like work of Oriental ar- 

 tisans. Even the style-arms exhibit this "fancy work" pattern. Very 

 large, with flaring falls and thick substance. 30 inches. The name 

 has been chosen because this is a fitting finale to the long line of 

 Iris of merit from Mr. Hall. Illustrated on page 28. 



AFTER DARK (Schreiner, '63) Each $3.00 



Deepest, velvety, rich violet-blue. The big, slightly ruffled flowers 

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

 height. Early. HM AIS, 1964. 



ALALOA (Gibson, '59) Each $1.00 



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 $10.00 



This ruffly combination of white and gold is regarded by 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. HM AIS, 

 1967. 



AL BORAK (DeForesf,'52) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



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

 ing falls with extremely wide hafts. A light brown garden effect in 

 an Iris which many judges regard as absolutely perfect in form. 

 Three feet in height, finely branched. HM AIS, 1953. 



ALLAGLOW (Tompkins, '58) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



A gigantic Iris of bright sunburst-gold, blended bittersweet-orange, 

 with an all-over flush of clear copper-yellow. The whole flower has 

 a glistening gold dusted finish and a tiny dash of orchid at the 

 tip of the chrome beard. Very broad petaled, with flaring, ruffled 

 falls and wide domed standards. Late; 38 inches. HM AIS, 1958; 

 AM, 1960. 



ALLEGIANCE (Cook, '58) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



The giant flowers are of deepest navy blue, overlaid with velvet, 

 the standards are silky and lustrous. The beards are medium blue 

 tipped lemon-chrome. Color is even and solid clear into the throat. 

 40 inches; late. HM AIS, 1968; AM, 1960; Dykes Medal, 1964.

AMETHYST FLAME (Schreiner, '58) Each $1.50 



Immense in size and elegant in form, a curiously tinted blend of 

 lavender or light violet and rosy heliotrope. The "shoulders" of the 

 falls carry an overlay of chestnut and the beard is almost white. 

 Nicely ruffled, 38 inches tafl, medium late. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 

 1960. Dykes Medal, 1963. Plant Patent No. 1793. See page 36. 



ANNABEL LEE (Schreiner, '66) Each $12.00 



A cool, light rose pink with charming ruffling and thick substance. 

 This is a great improvement over the old Briar Rose but of a some- 

 what similiar shade and an equally startling red-orange beard. 

 Large blossoms, wavy sculptured form and 40-inch branching 

 stems. Very late. HM AIS, 1967.
