WAYWARD WIND (Baker, '58)

 HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1961. 



WEDDING BOUQUET (Buftrick, '52) 



Each $2.00 



Looking for a white that has distinction? 

 This ruffled newcomer has chartreuse buds 

 which unfold into gorgeous pure white 

 flowers leaving the unique color of the buds 

 on the under side of the petals. This gives 

 the entire blossom a hint of cool greenish 

 ivory. 35 inches. HM AIS, 1952; AM,' 1956. 



WENATCHEE KID (Noyd, '58) 



Each $12.50 



Large tan, with most striking haft markings 

 of burnt sienna. The effect is that of choco- 

 late-brown on light tan, and there is a 

 greenish midrib line to add further distinc- 

 tion. 34-36 inches; rather late. Shown on 

 page 47. HM AIS, 1961. 



WHIR OF LACE (Schreiner, '58) 

 Each $10.00 



'Tragile as gossamer, lacy as a bridal 

 veil, and snowy as an angel's wing"— 

 so does the introducer describe this 

 exquisite white. It is larger and 

 taller than Queen's Lace, clear white 

 rather than ivory. 34 inches. HM 

 AIS, 1961. 



WHITE PALOMINO (Hall, '58) 



Each $3.50 



As the name would indicate, this is an exact 

 replica of the famous Palomino, which was 

 runner-up for the Dykes Medal in 1957, ex- 

 cept that it is pure white. It sports the bold 

 tangerine-red beard and coppery overlay on 

 the haft, and the standards blend into cop- 

 per at the base. This glowing, fiery central 

 area is in startling contrast to the otherwise 

 immaculate whiteness of the entire flower. 

 Foliage, stem, size and form of flower dupli- 

 cates the parent. See page 16. HM AIS, 1961. 



WHITE SPRITE (Cassebeer, '51) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A most distinct snow-white, including the 

 beard. The flowers are delicately ruffled and 

 the broad falls almost touch each other. 

 They flare straight out and the standards 

 appear as a white ruffled ball setting on a 

 white plate. 36 inches. HM AIS, 19.52. See 

 page 33. 



VIOLET HARMONY (Lowry, '52) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00

VIOLET HILLS (DeForest, '56) Each $3.50

 finest Iris of the past three years. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1956; AM,
