Camelot Rose $4.00 



HIGH LIFE (Schreiner, '64) L. 36" $2.50 



A spirited burgundy red plicata on the order of Karachi but both 

 larger and taller than that fine variety. The giant, richly hued flowers 

 resemble some rare tropical orchid. Late. HM, '65. Shown on page 33. 



HIGH PRAISE (Schreiner, '66) ML. 35" $3.00 



Truly the freshest, most vivid shade of blue-violet imaginable! Flowers 

 are of fantastic breadth and the substance is stiff and glossy. Flaring 

 form and fine branching. HM, '67. See page 24. 



African Queen $10.00 



Heather Hawk $3.00 



HIGH SIERRA (Gaulter, '67) ML. 38" $4.00 



We have seen a host of white Iris in our time and there are many 

 truly magnificent ones listed in this catalog. This one, however, is 

 so huge, so flawless, and so immaculate that after flowering it these 

 past seasons we think it superior to any white we know. A complete 

 self. HC, '66; HM, '68. See page 23. 



HOROSCOPE (Beattie, 71) ML. 26" $10.00 



This is a distinctly different color pattern in an Iris. The standards 

 are medium violet and falls deep purple with a wire edging of the 

 medium violet. Yellow beard tipped brown. Flower, stem and branch- 

 ing in excellent proportion. HC, '66. 



HOT LIPS (Noyd, 71) ML. 38" $10.00 



A huge white with a full brushing of green gold over the hafts. A 

 glowing red beard. This is a cross with Cherry Jubilee and Christ- 

 mas Time. Very fine white. 



IN ORBIT (Gibson, '63) 30" $2.50 



A new pattern in plicatas, as regards both the combination of colors 

 and the striking contrast between standards and falls. Standards are 

 waved and fluted, solid tan with a flush of light violet; the ruffled 

 falls striated and peppered deep plum on a white ground. Large 

 flowers on stocky, well balanced stems. HM. '64. Sec page 39. 



IRENE BROWN (R. Brown, '60) EM. 36" $1 .50 



If you are looking for deep color in the pink class you will find it 

 here! Clean and rich in tone, the coral red beard adding to its bright- 

 ness. Large, fairly early. HM, '62. 



IRMA MELROSE (Deforest, '56) ML. 40" $1 .00 



Extra large lemon-yellow with faint plicata markings near the beard 

 and throat. Although of unusual size the ruffled flowers are graceful 

 and long lasting in rain or sun. Stems are very tall but strong and 

 well branched. HM, '56. Shown on page 49. 



ISLAND HOLIDAY (Gibson, 70) ML. 36" 



$7.50 



A new bright and rich plicata pattern in golden buff. Standards are 

 solid metallic orange-gold; the falls are broad and semi flaring, with 

 an all-over delicate etching of cream and cinnamon. This is the first 

 of this type to come from Jim Gibson. Large and extremely colorful.
