THE WORLD'S FINEST IRISES 



amber wave 

 Amber Wave 



A luminous amber yellow self, suffused and shot 

 with olive bronze. The falls have a lovely faint vel- 

 vety violet blue flush at the haft, which is heavily 

 reticulated. The whole flower is perfectly propor- 

 tioned and well balanced, with very broad standards 

 and falls, which characteristic it owes to one of the 

 parents, iMrs. Valerie West. Height 3 feet. Very late. 



Each $4.00 



Allies 



An autumn flowering iris that, with us at least, 

 has not only bloomed in the spring and fall, but 

 throughout the summer as well. Those who already 

 have among fall bloomers the white, purple, and yel- 

 low varieties from the Sass Brothers, will welcome 

 this French variety, because it adds a different color 

 note — one of red-brown and fawn, with some of the 

 pigment found in Dauntless, although by no means 

 as red. Rhizomes are usually quite small, but the 

 flowers are of large size, and there just seems to be 

 no end to its blooming possiltilities. 



Each 60c; three for $1,50 



Adobe 



A rich, soft, reddish buff combination that im- 

 pressed me as the finest and most distinct of the 

 Ijongfield seedlings when I visited tliere in 1930. The 



-'! Pag. 



stems are slender but tlie flowers are of very large 

 size and well spaced. This is a lovely and very un- 

 usual blend, the colorings being suggestive of the 

 name. Very few rhizomes for sale ; each $7.50 



Aliquippa 



Good sized pale yellow with luminous center of 

 deeper coloring. This iris, which has received a silver 

 medal of the A. L S., is a very free bloomer and 

 increases rapidly, thus being especially desirable 

 where a mass of soft yellow is wanted in tlie garden. 



Each 25c; three for 50c 



Anne-Marie Cayeux 



The smooth, soft tones of this iris are indescrib- 

 able. The introducer says "a delicate blending of the 

 sky's colors at sunset and those of a pigeon's 

 throat." The flowers are very large, of an unusual 

 thick and leathery substance. The whole effect is 

 wonderfully beautiful — soft rosy heliotrope blended 

 with greyish amlier, beard orange. One of the finest 

 things ever to come from France. Each $5,00 



ASHTORETH 



A delicate yellow of very large size and perfec- 

 tion of form, raised by Eugene Baudry of jMassachu- 

 setts. At the Boston shoAV in 1930 it was awarded an 

 H. M. and created a very favorable impression at 

 Freeport, Illinois, last spring. One of the best of our 

 several outstanding new yellow irises. 



Each $12,00 



Allure 



An English silver medal winner, with ruffled 

 flowers of blended tones in yellow and soft lavender- 

 pink. The stems are slender and graceful, and it 

 makes a lovely cut flower. 



Each $1.00; three for $2.00 



Ambassaduer 



A magnificent and very dependable iris tliat 

 every garden should have. Bronze standards and 

 rich red-brown falls, large in size, and of bold grow- 

 ing habit. 



Each 25c 



Andante 



The Longfield Iris Farm introduced Andante in 

 1930 as a greatly im]iroved Gerniaine Perthuis. The 

 great black buds unfold into flowers of perfect form 

 and wondrous beauty. General effect is darkest pur- 

 ple, with very bright orange beard. One of the excel- 

 lent features is the almost total absence of veining. 



Each $2,00; three for $5.00 



Antares 



Fine new French introduction, but little known. 

 Creamy standards, white falls, speckled and overlaid 

 blue. Large bloom of unusual fragrance, and a novel 

 color effect. 



Each 35c 



Apache 



a small flower of distinct red or crimson brown 

 coloring. j\Iakes a wonderful mass, and increases 

 rapidly. 



Each 35c
