AIDA ** (Mitch. ‘38) frosted bronze, 34’’. 75c¢ 
This popular iris, all firm and frosted, with standards pure rich 
bronze and falls darker, is quite similar to Naranja in form. 
Sometimes the lovely color is spotted with brown markings. 
dS) ALACRITY (Peck. ’40) brisk yellow and pink, 38’. $5.00 
fi Here’s cheerfulness in the garden, gay and lively are its 
pale yellow and pink hues. The long blooming period em- 
phasizes its grace. 


ALINE **** (Stern ‘34) real blue, 36’’. 50c 
“Aline, you azure blue, so smooth and waxen in texture, so firm 
in substance, so large and rounded—are you real?’’ ‘Of course, 
and if you would like to know, I’m the best true medium blue 
self in the garden, even better than Missouri, I’m a bit bluer 
than Blue Triumph, and | received an Award of Merit in England.” 
ALLUMEUSE *** (Gage ‘38) blue violet, 40”. $2.00 
“The splendor of mountain and lake 
With their hues that seem ever to vary.” 
So this blend so bright and cheerful with wisteria violet 
standards yellowing at the base and with pansy violet almost 
horizontal falls blended a_ royal flush—a novel glow 
like stained glass windows. A Rip Van Winkle Sir Michael who 
has polished himself through all these years. Superb in all respects 
except for sparse branching. 
AMIGO **** (Wmsn. ’34) enlivening blues, 30’’. 50c 
“A friend to greet our friends’’—We gave it the central spot 
in our garden. This startling blue amoena has bright pansy blue 
velvet in the falls sets off by an edging of the soft, yet lively 
blue of the standards. The rather short stout stalks make this a 
most admirable iris for mass border planting. Voted one of the 
10 ‘‘Best’’ iris in commerce today. A.M. ‘38. 
/ AMITOLA **** (H. Sass ‘36.) rainbow blend, 38”. 35¢ 
An improved Rameses, rose and gold with a play of lavender. 
ANGELUS **** (Egel. ‘37) pearly pink lustre, 36”. $1.25 
Our favorite, with an irresistible pearly pink lustre flushed blue 
and coppery is amongst the Judges’ 50 ‘’Best’’ Iris. Like Depute 
Nomblot in size, shape, and substance. We marvel that one iris 
possesses so many fine qualities, especially substance, in a pink. 
ANITRA **** (H. Sass ‘36) celestial blue, 36’’. 75¢ 
With standards domed, with falls full and flaring this superfine, 
subdued, soft blue self so easily sells itself! With an Honorable 
Mention Award, an improved Blue Monarch. 
ANNE NEWHARD *** (Wies. ‘40) new pansy blue, 38’’. $6.00 
Clear and refreshing colors were smoothly applied to this medium 
sized flower. The semi-flaring falls are deep pansy blue without 
venations on the haft. The arched standards are medium hya- 
cinth blue with a tiny deep blue edging. A richer and far better 
St. Louis but with the same strong growth. ; 
APRICOT ** (Klein. ‘38) luscious apricot, 36’’. 
Solid golden apricot self, slightly ruffled and fluted. 
AT DAWNING *** (Kirk. ‘35) lovely lavender and pink, 40’. 50c

lustrous shades of lavender and pink, speckled with gold through 
the center. The standards are rose lavender, in perfect unison 
with the rose pink falls. Lowest flower often first to open. A.M. ‘38. 
ATHALA *** (Cay. ’36) plicata, feathered blue, 36”. $10.00 
$2.00 
One of the outstanding French plicatas—blue lilac markings’ 
cover the white standards, and the same color edges the white 
falls. 
AUBANEL **** (Cay. ‘35) raspberry blend, 42’. $1.50 
One of the most colorful—an unusual iris—the ruffled petals are 
red raspberry tinted heliotrope, with bronze yellow throughout 
the heart and a brilliant blue spot in the center of each fall. 
AZTEC *** (Kirk. ’35) golden tan and velvety red, 38”. 50c 
A sister of that very famous Copper luster. 
BALMUNG **** (H. Sass ’39) yellow plicata, 38’’. $10.00 
Yellow plicatas of this type are the beginning of a new develop- 
ment in iris color. This one is large and full formed of clear 
yellow coloring, with both standards and falls having heavy but 
clean plicata markings (stitching or pencilling) of brown. Strong 
grower. Rated 90. Honorable Mention Award 1940. 
BELMONT *** (Wms. ‘38) pure blue, 36’’. $2.00 
Slightly deeper than Waverly in tone—perhaps a purer blue— 
this lovely flower brings to us fine clarity of color throughout, wide 
semi-flaring falls, and generosity of bloom. 
BEOWULF ** (Schr. ‘36) maroon, 32’. 
The first sumptuous maroon iris—so rich! 
35c 
BEVERLY *** (Lap. ‘39) charming pink, shaded brown, 32’. $5.00

are distinctive. You show yourself often and why not! You’re so 
cute and round.

domed standards and widely flaring, circular, velvety falls.

heavy substanced flower irresistible. 
BLUE DIAMOND **** (Nic. ‘38) sparkling light blue, 40’’. $2.50

Rome Trials in ‘39. The large clear self has domed standards

These perfectly modelled (flaring), medium blue flowers satisfy. 
Received an Award of Merit in ‘39. 
BLUE PETER *** (White ‘36) suede prune purple, 40’. 50c 
A flag of very deep prune purple, with a black suede finish over 
all. It waves on high in our garden and calls us with its rich 
vital colors. The standards and falls are long and artistic. Truly 
a regal iris with us. 
BLUE TRIUMPH **** (Grin. ‘34) luminous light blue, 40’’. 50c 
Hail the conquering hero comes, carrying standards full rounded, 
and falls full flaring and of stout substance. A richness of luminous 
blue shines from the heraldic staffs, always victorious. Honored

with light brown markings, with the standards more colored than 
the falls.

Deep velvety aniline blue, clean cut, solid coloring, perfect form, 
and ideal branching. Of medium size, a blue that is blue and 
not purple or violet.
