SHEIK OF ARABY 



POINT LACE (Gibson, '60) Each $15.00 



Here is a big, clean, ivory-cream-pink flower with tangerine beard. As 

 the name implies, the entire blossom is fringed with lace at the 

 edges— both standards and falls. Even the style arms carry this orna- 

 mentation. Unlike so many recent "lacy" introductions this one has 

 size, including extra broad falls of flaring form. Standards are domed 

 with heavy mid-ribs. Harold Fletcher, President of the British Iris 

 Society, toured this country at Iris time in 1959. In commenting, he 

 wrote. "Point Lace, I think, is the best thing that I saw anywhere." 

 Stalks are rigid and reach a height of 36 inches, HM AIS, 1961. 



POLAR CAP (Stevens, '56) Each $3.50 



A new combination— snowy standards and pale blue falls. From the 

 New Zealand originator of the popular Pinnacle and other unique 

 breeding achievements. Polar Cap possesses ideal form and large size 

 in addition to good branching. HM ."MS, 1956. 



PORT WINE (Sass, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Deep wine-red standards shot with white, the falls broad and 

 rounded with an almost solid border of wine-purple. The color is 

 sharp and vivid— a quality missing in many plicatas with less heavy 

 pattern. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1953. See page 35. 



PRETENDER (Cook, '51) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



The best of a series of "blue-failed variegatas" from the originator 

 of Amigo, Indiana Night, Pink Bountiful, Dreamcastle, Tranquil 

 Moon and a multitude of famed varieties. Standards are soft yel- 

 low, falls solid velvety blue-purple with narrow lighter margin. 

 Genuinely different! 35 inches tall with large flowers. HM AIS, 

 1952; AM, 1955. Shown on page 27. 



PRETTY CAROL (Hamblen, '59) Each $12.00 



Lovely rich orchid self with a lighter area in the center of the falls, 

 highlighted by a complementary tangerine beard. The large flowers 

 are broad and fully formed, stalks heavy and well branched, reach- 

 ing three feet or more. One of the very best from this new hybrid- 

 izer of exceptional seedlings. HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1961. 



PRETTYFIELD (Cook, '59) Each $15.00 



Clean white standards; white falls delicately banded or flushed clear 

 blue around the outer margins. The beard is bright yellow. This 

 may sound like the familiar blue plicata pattern but it is a decided- 

 ly different type. Emma Cook and Wonderment are in this category. 

 Large flower; 36-inch stems. We like this one verv much. HM AIS, 

 1959. 



PRETTY GAY (Plough, '57) Each $3.00 



Pine white with a startling fiery red beard. There are no haft mark- 

 ings to mar its chaste beauty. Increases rapidly, blooms freely and 

 branches well. HM AIS, 1957. 



PRETTY QUADROON (Kleinsorge, '48) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Smooth, metallic, light copper-brown or pale tan, with a hint of 

 lavender and gold as an undertone. The flowers are of faultless form 

 —wide hafts, spreading falls and large, closed standards. The beard 

 is brown. It is a color most difficult to describe but it has much 

 more life and attraction than these coppery tans usually provide. 

 Height 33 to 36 inches. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1950. Pictured on page 18. 



PRINCE OF MONACO (Kleinsorge, '56) Each $2.50 



A regal flower in two shades of purple, heavily suffused brown on 

 the haft and sporting a rich yellow beard. The standards are brilliant 

 violet-blue, with crinkled appearance of a Poppy petal. The broad 

 falls ffare out widely and are waved at the edges, a lustrous deep 

 violet-purple which has the appearance of heavy velvet. Stalks are 

 strong and reach almost 4 feet in height.
