ACACIA. (See introductions.) 
ACCOLADE. (Chowning, 750). An uncontrolled hybrid believed to be Arkan- 
sas Yellow Fulva X Imperialis. Lovely flower whose petals are at first upright 
and later open to make a flat flower. Pure self of lavender-pink which has been 
aptly compared to strawberry ice cream in color. Slow of increase. 24 to 28 inches.

ADELAIDE BRADFORD. (Clark, H., 50). Bicolors and bitones in the Lou- 
isiana group are rare. By crossing a decided bicolor, Contrast, by one with bi- 
tone tendencies, Mary Swords Debaillon, Mrs. Clark has achieved this excellent 
variety. The sepals are rose-violet with a yellow signal patch; the petals are off- 
white, veined violet; the dark style arms are long. Medium height. $7.50. 
BAYOU SUNSET (McMillan) MSD Award 1949, H.M. 1950. This striking iris 
begs for adequate description. The 8 inch flowers are of a striking deep rose-pink 
with hints of amber and gold in its make-up. The large raying signal patch almost 
covers its broad, almost orbicular sepal that recurves. The texture is very firm, 
and holds up well in sun and rain. Definitely one of the most outstanding iris in 
the Louisiana group. $3.00.
