GOLDEN YEARS (Hall, '61) 



Each $15.00 



When Colilen (.ailand appeared in 195;!, Da\e Hall 

 seized upon it at once as a forerunner of "things to 

 come" in combinations of lacy white fringed with gold. 

 In the past few years a vast number of the offspring 

 from this great Iris have come into flower amongst his 

 seedlings. The one selected as most outstanding was 

 given the name of "Golden Years" in fond recognition 

 of the era into which Mr. Hall's long association with 

 Iris is now fitted. The depth of rich goklen yellow in 

 the standards and on the fringed falls is not ample in 

 oin- illusiralion nor is the clean, sharp contrast of color 

 adequate. See page 58. 



GOLD PIECE (Schreiner, '59) Each $7.50 



Solid goklen yellow with conical rullled standards and 

 very spreading falls, poised as if in full flight. The 

 leathery texline is derived from Inca Chief, a parent.
