ACTION FRONT (P. Cook 1942) EM. 36”. 
A clear cut, bright and bold coppery red, its turgid tones 
seem to flare up in a blaze of color. There are real red tones 
in this one — distinct and worthy. $6.00 
ADVENTURE (Grant 1941) M. 36”. 
Winsome, delicate plicata with brownish red markings ap- 
proaching strawberry in tone. Attractive in form and well 
substanced. | $5.00 
ALASKA (Schreiner 1940) VE. 28”. 
The perfect formed, flaring, pure white intermediate; 
very fragrant. ‘The only intermediate iris of its color with 
good form. $1.00 
ALASTOR (Spender 1940) EM. 38”. 
One of the exceptional iris originated in England and in- 
troduced by us to America. A beautiful suave, smoothly 
finished deep pink close to cyclamin pink with a pronounced 
golden center with a symmetrical golden-hazel brown haft. 
‘The entire flower has a satiny glistening finish climaxed by 
a bright orange beard. $2.00 
ALBA SUPERBA (J. Sass 1943) M. 35”. 
A striking, magnificent white, broad and expansive with 
protusively domed standards, flaring falls, as white as monu- 
mental alabaster with heavy substance. An unmistakable 
advance in a class where competiton is very keen. $25.00 
ALINE (Stern 1934) M. 34” 
Tranquil azure blue, close to true blue. Medium sized 
florets of conventional perfect form. 25c 
AMIGO (Williamson 1934) EM. 34”. 
' An iris of endearing personality, unassuming for all its 
rich endowment of color. Captivating pansy colored 
favorite, clear light blue-lavender standards, lustrous deep 
purple velvet, trimly edged falls. A rare color gem that 
should be in every garden. Its striking contrast reminds 
one of a rich silken pansy. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
AMITOLA (H. Sass 1936) ML. 38”. 
A large, enticing smooth blend. The full shaped flowers 
are lightly ruffled, a delicate mixture of rose and gold. A 
better formed, pinker Rameses, very satisfactory. 
4 35c; 3 for 90c 
AND THOU (Graves 1942) ML. 36”. 
Dulcet light blue with the coloring gathering imper- 
ceptibly in intensity until concentrated in a very narrow 
area alongside the beard in a harmonious ensemblage. The 
gradual concentration of color gives a misty blue ON 
ANGELUS (Egelberg 1937) L. 36”. 
One of the very finest pink iris. The broad blooms, 
heavily textured are ideally spaced on a well branched stalk. 
In color it is a jewel — near self of mallow pink with a shim- 
mering mauve iridescence on the falls. The color is ex- 
quisite and it is an outstanding iris in its class. It is a win- 
ner on the show table and has the additional merit of being 
one of the later iris to bloom prolonging the season in the 
garden. 60c; 3 for $1.50 
ANITRA (H. Sass 1936) ML. 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 reminds one of Shining Waters, but 
its tint of blue is paler, more silvery. A big favorite in our 
garden. 35c; 3 for 90c

ANNA GAGE (Gage 1941) E. 35”. 
Original blend of tawny olive-buff standards and rich 
garnet brown falls — fascinating. $4.50 
ANNE MARIE BERTHIER (Cayeux 1939) EM. 36”. 
Cayeux’s pure white iris. It substitutes for classical but 
tender Purissima. Chaste and pure in color. $1.50 
ARCTIC (Kleinsorge 1940) M. 40”. 
A creamy-smooth, warm white with an interesting feature 
in its gold throat which spills over in a generous overflow 
of yellow on the falls. A handsome iris. $2.00 
ARETHUSA (Gage 1940) M. 40”. 
This iris is a very unusual color—a sort of lustrous medium 
rose with tints of fuschia delicately blended golden bronze 
in the haft. Its substance is not the best but if planted 
where it is partly shaded its originality is readily apparent. 
$3.00 
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. 
35c; 3 for 90c 
ATHALA (Cayeux 1936) ML. 36”. 
This is Cayeux’s blue marked plicata of beautiful form 
and finish. Deviously marked with blue-lilac tracery, the 
falls are likewise marked and stippled along the edges. 
$2.50 
AUBANEL (Cayeux 1935) M. 38”. 
In the opinion of many experts this is one of the truest 
pinks. An unusual iris of unique color value, shrimp-pink 
to rose-pink. Medium sized flowers, the center of each fall 
is highlighted by a distinct spot of lilac with the center of 
the flower enlivened by a warm yellow throat. It is a 
striking picture viewed as a clump in the sunlight. $1.00 
AUTUMN FROST (Schreiner 1934) E. 34”. 
Large flowered pure white with golden haft and beard. 
A fall blooming variety. 30c 
AVONDALE (H. Sass 1934) ML. 33”. 
A rich bicolor in strawberry red tones with a lamp-like 
inner glow and vivid orange beard. An extremely cheery 
color and a popular iris. Yearly our stock is exhausted 
before the close of the selling season. 50c 
AZTEC COOPER (Kleinsorge 1939) M. 38”. 
One of the most unusual, almost quixotic, iris. A singular 
blending and washing of muted smoky violets and soft 
coppers. The individual blooms are big, well substanced 
and well placed on substantially branched stems. $2.00 
AZTEC GLORY (Horton 1941) EM. 35”. 
Exceptional and unusual! In reality a klaidescope of 
color combining the harmony of the blend class with the 
richness and burnished finish of the reds and coppers. A 
self-glowing copper blend. $7.50 
BALMUNG HU. Sass 1939) ML. 38”. 
Resembles a rare tropical orchid. About one of the 
finest yellow ground plicatas. Broadly expansive petals 
with a regular plicata marking, not too heavy, on a back- 
ground that is pronouncedly yellow. It and Ruth Pollock, 
colored in a different manner, are perhaps the finest, in our 
opinion. A capricious color pattern of unusual color as- 
semblage. $3.00
