ALASTOR (Spender 1940) EM. 38”. 
This development in the dark pink class is a worthy addi- 
tion 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 
and a satiny texture on the falls. The entire flower is cli- 
maxed by a bright orange beard. Tall branched stem, a 
good grower with deep, glaucous green foliage. We intro- 
duced this English Silver Medal winner to America in 1940. 
(Pictured on page 11). $5.00 
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. Free-flowering and prolific. 25c; 3 for 60c 
ALINE (Stern 1934) ML. 34”. 
Tranquil as the deep azure of early morning, this medium 
blue self of conventionally perfect form comes close to true 
blue. Fine enameled finish. 25c; 3 for 60c 
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 
iris. 75c 
AMITOLA (H. Sass 1936) ML. 38”. 
A large, opulent, smooth pink-and-gold blend, 
the flowers are lightly ruffled, copiously and well 
formed. A seedling of Rameses, it is larger and 
pinker. A prolific bloomer, well branched and 
hardy. 35c; 3 for 90c 
ANGELUS (Egelberg 1937) ML. 36”. 
This differently colored iris can best be visual- 
ized 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. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
ANITRA (H. Sass 1936) M. 35”. 
A pearly blue of fine texture and substance 
that has a luminous quality at twilight. In its 
domed standards and broadly flaring falls it re- 
minds one of Shining Waters, but its tint of blue 
is paler, more silvery. A big favorite in our 
garden. 35c; 3 for 90c 
ANNE MARIE BERTHIER (Cayeux 1939) 
EM. 36%. 
Cayeux’s pure white, without throat markings 
of any kind. Lemon yellow beard. The color is 
exceedingly pure and chaste. Very vigorous 
grower. 
APRICOT (Kleinsorge 1938) ML. 36”. 
This is a soft, delicate tan-apricot iris, pleas- 
ingly colored; medium sized blooms. $1.00 
ARCTIC (Kleinsorge 1940) M. 40”. 
Cool, brittle, quartz-like white. One of the 
most attractive features of this flower is the rich, 
glowing overflow of golden-yellow throat and 
beard, a most striking contrast to the enamel- 
white flower. The flecks of gold on purest white 
make it a fresh, vital, invigorating new develop- 
ment. Branched stalks carry many blooms. 
$5.00 
ARETHUSA (Gage 1940) M. 40”. 
A simply exquisite, lustrous, medium-rose development 
delicately blended with tones of melodious golden-bronze 
in the haft which contrasts effectively with the daphne red 
tones of the flower. Unusual metallic lustre and striking 
color; fair substance. Fine stem, unique color. $10.00 
AT DAWNING (Kirkland 1935) E. 40”. 
An arbutus pink bicolor, 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) EM. 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 the mass. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50
