ALASTOR (Spender 1940) EM. 38”. 
_This development in the dark pink class is a worthy ad- 
dition to this limited color class. A suave, supple and 
smoothly finished creation of delicate tints of deep cyclamin 
pink with an underlay of old-gold more pronounced at the 
haft. The entire flower is climaxed by a bright orange 
beard. Good substance, a satiny texture on the falls and 
non-fading flowers. Tall branched stem, a good grower 
with deep, glaucous green foliage. We introduced this 
English Silver Medal winner to America in 1940. (Pic- 
tured on page 28). $7.50 
ALICE HARDING (Cayeux 1933) M. 40”. 
Soft-toned primrose yellow blended buff near the base of 
the falls and overlain with a flaxen sheen. Beard is richest 
orange. A larger and more flaring Phebus. Free-flowering 
and prolific. 25c; 3 for 50c 
ALINE (Stern 1934) ML. 34”. 
Tranquil as the deep azure of early morning, this medium 
blue self of conventionally perfect form and large size 
comes the closest to true blue of any iris. You will admire 
its fine enameled finish. 25c; 3 for 50c 
AMIGO (Williamson 1934) EM. 34”. 
An iris of endearing personality, unassuming for all its 
rich endowment of color. Intense, glowing, its light lavender 
standards, lustrous pansy-purple falls and contrasting orange 
beard make it one of the favorites of the iris garden. An 
iris that has ‘‘class’’ and one of the richest and loveliest of 
75c 
iris. 
AMITOLA (H. P. Sass 1936) ML. 38”. 
A large, opulent, smooth pink-and-gold blend, the flow- 
ers are lightly ruffled, copiously and well formed. A seed- 
ling of Rameses, it is larger and pinker. A prolific bloomer, 
well branched and hardy. 35c; 3 for 75c 
ANGELUS (Egelberg 1937) ML. 36”. 
This differently colored iris can best be visualized as a 
creamy, pearly light mauve-pink blend of huge size and 
extraordinary petal-substance (in which respect it is in 
marked contrast to other pinks). In form it is similar to 
its parent, the courtly Depute Nomblot. (Pictured on a 18).

ANITRA (H. Sass 1936) M. 36”, 
A pearly blue of fine texture and substance that has a 
luminous quality at twilight. In its domed standards and 
broadly flaring falls it reminds one of Shining Waters, but 
its tint of blue is paler, more silvery. 60c 
APRICOT (Kleinsorge 1938) ML. 36”. 
This is a soft tan-apricot colored iris, pleasingly colored; 
medium sized blooms, delicately blended and gracefully 
fluted and ruffled. $2.00 
AT DAWNING (Kirkland 1935) M. 40”. 
An arbutus pink bicolor, one of the most ethereal of iris, 
with crystalline standards shimmering as if indeed touched 
by the “rosy-fingered Dawn’’ and at the base glowing as 
if with the gold of imminent day. The same golden flood 
extends also to the smooth, rosier toned falls. 50c 
AUBANEL (Cayeux 1935) ME. 38”. 
An iris of unique color value: shrimp pink tinted helio- 
trope and flushed yellow at the base. In the center of each 
fall there is a distinct spot of lilac. Striking in Oa 
AVONDALE HU. Sass 1934) M. 33”. 
A rich bicolor of strawberry red tones with a lamplike 
inner glow and vivid orange beard. A spectacular beauty 
of fine size and branching. In every way an core le 
c 
AZTEC COPPER (Kleinsorge 1939) M. 38”. 
In the last few years several new coppers have been 
developed. Aztec Copper is not a bright color but it com- 
bines off tones of copper with touches of smoky violet In 
effect this makes the color seem to glisten with a slight 
greenish tinge. Unusual and quixotic in itself, it is a lovely 
iris for a close-up spot in the garden. Broadly shaped 
blooms, leathery substance, good height and branching. 
$10.00 
BALLET GIRL (H. Sass 1935) EM. 38”. 
An iris of distinctive, delicate personality, and poised, 
restrained carriage; in color the filmiest pink imaginable, 
reminding one of the exquisite shades of pink found in 
sweet peas. An iris that grows in one’s appreciation. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
BALMUNG U.P. Sass 1939) ML. 38”. 
A subtly colored, quietly capricious yellow-ground pli- 
cata. It is about the largest of this striking color class. 
Large, well rounded flowers, evenly colored yellow with 
heavy, though clean, plicata markings of brown. Sharply 
contrasted, it resembles some rare tropical orchid. $5.00 
BELMONT (Williams 1938) M. 36”. 
A frilled, rich, clear medium deep blue. In form it is 
quite distinct; combined attractively with the frilling we 
have wide, semi-flaring falls. One of the most attractive 
new iris in the blue class. Belmont and its lighter colored 
counterpart, Waverly, represent two very distinct additions 
and are worthy new developments. $2.00 
BEOWULF (Schreiner 1936) E. 32”. 
Rich velvety maroon unmarred by any haft venation. 
The coppery brown of the standards is repeated in a soft 
margining on the unusually broad falls. The rich orange 
beard completes the glowing ensemble.  25c; 3 for 50c 
BLACKAMOOR (J. Sass 1932) M. 38”. 
A massive iris of black-violet with a uniformity of color- 
ing to which even the deep-blue beard contributes. Almost 
black when it opens, it lightens to a rich violet shade. The 
long buds are most exciting. 25c; 3 for 50c 
BLACK BEAUTY (Kirkland 1934) M. 30”. 
A large iris of classic perfection of form and uniform 
indigo-tone. Very lustrous and velvety. 25c; 3 for 50c 
BLACK VALOR (Nicholls 1938) L. 33”. 
One of the very newest creations of the “‘black’”’ group. 
Done in veiled tones of very rich violet-black or royal pur- 
ple with a velvety gloss. The beard is practically the same 
color. Unveined haft, free blooming, not tall. $3.00 
BLACK WINGS (Kirkland 1930) M. 34”. 
A popular iris of deepest midnight blue overlain with a 
frosty black sheen. Rich and lustrous, bespeaking a long 
Dominion heritage. Ideal for foreground plantings. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
BLUE DIAMOND (Nicholls 1938) EM. 38”. 
We feel this is going to be one of the most sought after 
delicate blue iris. Classical in form, the sculptured falls 
flare with delicate grace and just a breath of fluting. The 
flower is rigidly and crisply compact and very weather 
resistant. Of purest cerulean blue the ethereal blooms have 
a silvery, sparkling glow that makes them delicate and at 
the same time vividly fresh looking. The flower reminds 
one of a bloom that has just opened after a shower with all 
its pristine loveliness unsoiled. Lemon colored beard, locust 
scented, tall and finely branched; a splendid iris. $4.00
