Illustrious Bearded Iris 
Eupogon-Pogocyclus 
Regeliaoncobreds and Oncocylus 
ALI BABA (David W. Lyon 1952) $10.00 
(No. D204-47-8 Ranger x Cordovan) We introduced this Iris 
by popular demand. A sister to The Mad Hatter, whose deep 
maroon coloring contrasts with the bright red of the Ali Baba. Its 
standards are spectrum taupe, flushed garnet-brown with broad 
flaring deep garnet-brown falls that darken toward the edges, and 
are of the heaviest velvety texture that does not burn or wilt in 
the sun. Best garden effect is obtained when planted where the 
afternoon sun filters through the blossoms. Its bright red rich- 
ness stole the show here at Irisland, so we named it Ali Baba. 
This cross has a most pleasing fragrance. It blooms from mid- 
season to late, on well branched 44’ stalks. 
ALICIA (Rowlins 1949) $3.00; 3 for $7.50 
A large clear cool silvery blue of smooth iridescent quality. This 
lovely blue comes from a Great Lakes and Gloriole cross and 
inherits their good quality points. 36”. Mid-late. Honorable Men- 
tion A.I.S. 1951.” 
ALLINE ROGERS (Kleinsorge 1950) $3.50 
(Cascade Splendor x Daybreak) This creation is an ashes of 
roses with a blending in of gold into its coloring, which is 
accented at the hafts of the falls and the base of the standards. 
The style arms and beard carry a continuation of this gold flush. 
The broad petals of the flowers are ruffled around the outer 
edges. 34”. Honorable Mention A.J.S. 1951. 
AMANDINE (G. Douglas 1946) $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
This is a cool lemon cream self. Etched with the delicacy and

form on well branched stalks. Award of Merit A.I.S. 1948. Late 
mid-season to late. 36”

tection from extremely hot sun. Mid-season. 36”.

ARABI PASHA (G. Anley, of England 1951) $15.00 
((Minerette: Blue Ensign x Windermer) X (Blue Ensign) ) 
A tailored flower of deep corflower blue. The blue beard makes 
Arabi Pasha unique, a quality that will readily be recognized by 
hybridizers. A graceful dip characterizes the falls. Enthusiasti-
