Spanish Gift $3.50 



GRAPE FESTIVAL (Gaulter, '69) M. 38" $7.50 



An Iris of stupendous proportions— one of the largest we have ever 

 seen— in a shade resembling Concord grape juice. There is some 

 bronze shading on the haft which is lit up with an almost white 

 beard. Just a hint of bronze adorns the lace-edged falls. Shown on 

 page 16. HM, '70. 



GREENAN CASTLE (Beattie, '71) ML. 38" $10.00 



A lovely icy pink of large size and extremely fine form. Very broad 

 petals of good heavy substance. A deep rosy pink beard and long 

 lasting blooms are other qualities of this fine Iris. 



GREEN QUEST (R. Brown, '60) ML. 36" $2.00 



We hear a great deal about "green Iris" these days but the term is 

 largely an exaggeration. This one is actually bright primrose yellow 

 with a chartreuse green cast. Added to the unusual color is perfec- 

 tion of form, large size, perfect branching. HM, '62. See page 46. 



GYPSY JEWELS (Schreiner, '63) M. 35" $1 .50 



Here is a ruby to garnet red of different tonal value from any red in 

 this catalog. Crisply flaring, remarkable heavy substance, and a 

 plushy sheen on the falls, with no haft markings. HM, '64; AM, '66. 

 Shown on page 47. 



GYPSY LULLABY fO. Brown, '6 1 ) M. 36" $1 .00 



Ruffled standards of butterscotch with a light violet flush; flaring 

 very wide falls of medium red-violet shading to the color of the 

 standards. This is distinctly different and has produced some novel 

 seedlings. HM, '62; AM, '64. See page 53. 



HAWAIIAN BREEZE (Hall, '61) ML. 36" $1.50 



A delicately colored flower that is neither pink nor mauve, but is 

 from pink breeding and could be called a pink blend. It is so differ- 

 ent from others of this series, so enchanting in its pastel shadings 

 and so excitingly unique. Large, well formed and nicely branched. 

 See page 45. HM, '63. 



HEARTBREAKER (Hall, '64) ML. 36" $2.00 

 A large, flaring pink self, with deep pink beard and a worthy mem- 

 ber of the finest trio of pink Iris we have ever introduced from Mr. 

 Hall. Heartbreaker has extra fine branching and flowers from mid- 

 season to late. Shown on page 43. HM, '65. 



HEATHER HAWK (Gibson, '66) ML. 36" $3.00 



Almost pure white falls with a narrow band of pinkish copper and 

 light plicata markings on the haft. The standards are pale copper 

 shading into white, delicately ruffled and flounced. Style-arms and 

 beard are a contrasting old gold tint. Large blooms. See page 20. 

 HM, '68. 



HEAVENLY DAYS (Wickersham, '63) M. 36" $1.50 



Too many blues? Not with the quality, form, size and 

 crisp clear June sky hue of this one! Standards are wide 

 and upright, practically closed at the top, waved and of 

 heavy substance. The falls are extra broad and flaring, set 

 off with a creamy white beard. Good branching and very 

 long lasting. See page 54. 



HENNA STITCHES (Gibson, '61) EM. 36" $1.00 



A very bright combination of frosty white and gleaming henna- 

 copper. The petals are gracefully flounced and ruffled. A feature which 

 enlivens this plicata is the metallic gleam of the reddish margins and 

 stylearms. HM, '62. 



HENRY SHAW (C. Benson, '59) M. 38" $2.00 



A giant white, perfectly proportioned, crimped and ruffled and with 

 a greenish undertone on the falls. The huge buds have a greenish 

 cast and the beard is white. Many flowers and good branching. HM, 

 '59; AM, '61. Best white Iris of 1965. See page 38. 



HIGH ABOVE (DeForesf, '61) M. 36" $1.50 



One of the late Fred DeForest's masterpieces. Color is pale sky blue, 

 smooth and even, the texture like satin. Very spreading falls, waved 

 at the edges, seven to nine blooms to the 36-inch stalk. HM, '62; AM, 

 '64. See page 31. 



HIGH ESTEEM (Tompkins, '66) ML. 36" $3.50 



This is a new, beautifully formed, deep Peachglow pink with a bright 

 coral-rose beard. The stems are ramrod stiff, perfectly branched and 

 flowers from midseason to very late. Large flowers, elegantly ruffled. 

 HM, '67. See page 40.
