Majestic and beautifully branched, this powder-blue Iris has quality 

 in every detail. A self of soft even tone, the full white beard pro- 

 viding added attractiveness. Falls are wide and flaring, the whole 

 flower nicely ruffled. HM, '56; AM, '58. Dykes Medal in '61. 



ELEGANT FARMER (Gaulter, '68) ML. 36" $3.00

 size, a soft tan with a bluish blaze on the falls. The heavy orange 

 beard ends with a thin, white dart. Sculptured in form, the standards 

 upright and closed, the falls gracefully flaring and waved at the 

 margins. If you like them big, but not coarse, try this one. Well 

 branched.

An immense greenish ivory Iris with amber lights and shadings. The 

 thick petals are greenish amber on the under sides. The extra wide 

 falls are crimped, ruffled and fringed at the edges. The orange-red 

 beard gives the heart of the flower a very warm glow. Wonderful 

 branching and long season of bloom. HM, '65. 



ENCHANTED VIOLET (Hamblen, '58) M. 36" $1 .00 



This striking creation is unique for the combination of pink and 

 orchid tints in the heart of the flower. It is a lovely shade of light

 the falls creamy ivory in the center with fine etchings of apricot. None

 petal width and ideal ruffling and fluting are added features. Shown 

 on page 35.

 color rich and glistening. The beard is of the same

FAIRLIGHT (J. Nelson, 70) VL. 36" $1 2.50 



Our picture on page 12 is an excellent likeness of this frilly, frothy, 

 glittering rich gold and creamy white beauty. The standards, style 

 arms and beard are all a uniform deep gold, as is the underside of the 

 falls. These are creamy white in the center and are rimmed with a 

 band of rich yellow. The upright, closed standards and ruffled flaring 

 falls complete this gorgeous creation. 



FAIRY FABLE (Ernst, '61) ML. 36" $2.00 



This one, resulting from Lynn Hall crossed with May Hall combines 

 the best features of both parents. The shade of pink is about midway 

 between these two. The falls possess great width, extra thick sub- 

 stance and are ruffled and waved at the margins. The heavy beard 

 is deep tangerine-red. Shown on page 46. HM, '62. 



FAIRY ROSE (Schreiner, '64) L. 38" $2.50

 in all its parts, a rich rose self in color, it is an especially effective
