ACTION FRONT (P. Cook 1942) EM. 36”. 
A choice flaming copper red, full wide flowers, petals mas- 
sively rounded (extra broad). Striking red with gold beard 
and rich green foliage. $4.00 
ADVENTURE (Grant 1941) M. 36”. 
Cream and raspberry-cinnamon plicata, winsome and 
delicate. $2.00 
ALADDIN’S WISH (Murawska 1945) M. 36”. 
Something new — a singularly different iris, white brushed 
blue. The color is brushed on as if with blue chalk rather 
than blended. The cream color radiates through the flower 
like the first gentle rays of the sun. Blooms are very large, 
most unusual and lovely. A real innovation in an original 
flower, different from any other iris. $8.00 
ALASKA (Schreiner 1940) VE. 28”. 
The perfectly formed, flaring, pure white intermediate; 
very fragrant. The most meritorious early white. $1.00 
ALASTOR (Spender 1940) EM. 36”. 
A brilliant, smooth bright deep pink. An unusual shade 
near cyclamin pink with a bright orange beard and chestnut 
brown hafts. A lively flower. $1.50 
ALBA SUPERBA JJ. Sass 1943) M. 38”. 
A striking, magnificent white, broad and expansive with 
protusively domed standards, flaring falls, white as monu- 
mental alabaster with heavy substance. The newest and 
finest white from the Sasses. The foremost huge white of 
heavy substance. Fine in every way. $15.00 
ALDURA (Larsen 1943) M. 36”. 
Large and choice blue and white plicata. Of exceptional 
substance and flaring form the large full flowers are artfully 
marked blue on a marbled-dusted blue white background. 
An exceptionally fine iris that deserves more consideration 
than accorded. $1.50 
ALPINE GLOW (Kleinsorge 1945) ML. 36”. 
Intriguing soft dusty rose. In the shade or on a dull day 
the subdued rose with pale lilac infusion gives a cool idyllic 
impression. In the sunlight its bright pinky tones ‘‘carry”’ 
effectively. Lightly ruffled petals. $7.50 
AMIGO (Williamson 1934) EM. 34”. 
Captivating pansy colored favorite of endearing person- 
ality. A striking contrast with clear light lavender standards 
effectively foiled by the deep purple velvet, trimly edged 
falls. Warm and unassuming, 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 
ANDALUSIAN BLUE (Schreiner 1938) VE. 20”. 
_A fine sky blue intermediate, the only early-flowering iris 
of this color. Beautiful planted with tulips. $1.00 
AND THOU (Graves 1942) ML. 36”. 
A very pale mist blue white. The color gathers imper- 
ceptibly in intensity until concentrated alongside the bluish 
beard in a novel and harmonious manner. $4.00 
ANGELUS (Egelberg 1937) L. 36”. 
One of the very finest orchid pink iris. The broad blooms, 
heavily textured, are ideally spaced on a well branched 
stalk. A near self with a shimmering mauve iridescence on 
the falls. The color is exquisite and it is an outstanding 
iris. An ideal iris for both the show table and the garden 
being particularly valuable because it is one of the latest 
iris to bloom prolonging the season in the garden. 
60c; 3 for $1.50 
ANITRA (H. Sass 1936) M. 35”. 
A pearly to silvery sky-blue, pure in color. Of great size 
and beautiful form, flaring falls, with a crisp character to 
the flower. 40c; 3 for $1.00 
ANNA WILLIAMSON (Cook 1946) EM. 36”. 
An engaging bright bicolor pink. Pleasantly brightening 
the rosy pink coloring is the pale yellow suffusion. Few of 
our pinks have the pleasant contrast in coloring between 
the light colored standards and deeper toned falls. Reminds 
one of older Coralie. Nicely formed. $9.00 
ARAB CHIEF (Whiting 1944) VL. 36”. 
One of the brightest and most attractive of the rich burnt 
orange almost henna tones. This choice iris with its broad 
hafts stands up well. Its intense color value, a brilliant self, 
is one of our favorites. $6.00
