Aladdin’s Wish (Murawska 1945) Here is really a break in iris color that is most 
pleasing and novel. The color is difficult to adequately describe, being a lovely 
shade of dulcet medium blue, with brushings of cream radiating through the 
flower. The most fragrant iris in our garden. 36” 75¢€ 
Amandine (G. Douglas 1946) Clear smooth cream with a touch of lemon. Nicely 
ruffled. Very good substance. One of the very good cream colored iris. $1.50 
Amigo (Williams 1934) This iris is very suggestive of a velvety blue-purple pansy 
having very heavy texture and fine form. S. clear light lavender violet. F. 
deep hyacinth violet shading out to a lighter violet. 34”. 50c¢ 
Argus Pheasant (De Forest 1948) A smooth soft brown iris that has become very

husky stems and grows about 3 feet tall. $5.00 
Black Diamond (Schreiner 1951) One of the very dark ones that is sometimes 
referred to as a black iris. It is not large nor tall but its rich blue-black color 
has a finish like a piece of black silk. 30”. $4.00, 
Black Hills (Fay 1951) Here is a blue-black iris that has set a new standard of per- 
fection in this color. The flowers are full-petaled, nicely proportioned, flaring 
and stylish. The color is rich, velvety, blue-black. The beard has the same rich 
color and there are no markings on the haft. The stems are four-way branched

color and so perfect in form. Mid-season. $7.50

ing. Has a fine metallic sheen that sparkles all over. 40” $1.00

found in that region. Large, with highly domed standards and rather rounded 
falls. Bronze yellow beard. Firm substance, height and branching good. 36”. 
$10.00 
Cahokia (Faught 1948) Here is a beautiful iris that should be of great interest to 
hybridizers. Color is a lovely shade of light blue with no trace of lavender.

hidden by the extreme fullness of the flower. Form of flower and substance 
excellent. Stem is strong, straight and well branched. Medium late. About 40”.
