Here Begins a List of the World's 

 Finest Irises, Described in Detail, 

 Currently Priced — 



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 75c 



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 75c; 3 for $2.00 



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 25. 



AMIGO Each $8.00 



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. 



AMENTI Each $10.00 



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. 



AMITOLA Each $10.00 



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. 

 We have very few rhizomes of it. 



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. Photograph on 

 page 37. 



ANNE MARIE CAYEUX Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



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 27. 



ASHTORETH Each $1.00 



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 $7.50 



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. 



Our three favorites among the new creations of 

 Chancellor Kirkland were Copper Lustre, Junaluska, 

 and this: At Dawning. Among his hundreds of fine 

 seedlings showing a coppery influence and varying 

 in tone and shade from almost pure copper through 

 coppery rose and pink to deep coppery crimson, 

 these three were in our opinion most distinct and 

 unusually fine in every way. We have splendid 

 stock and enough of it to assure your getting only 

 extra quality rhizomes.
