"Received the Iris in fine shape. They are the finest ones I have ever 

 bought. Such big husky ones — / am so pleased with them."

PATRICIAN 



COLLEGIATE (Hall, '55) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



This ivory-white Iris has a distinction which our ])icture 

 does not quite properly portray. Actually, the base of the 

 standards and the markings near the center are about the 

 color of a ripe cantaloupe— neither orange nor yellow. Un- 

 der side of the falls is yellow and the buds are yellow. 30- 

 34 inches in height. See page IS. 



COLOR CARNIVAL (DeForesi, '49) Each $1.00 



.A. startling arrangement of colors in the range of the new pinks. 

 7 he ground color is a deep shade of pink in both standards and falls, 

 with heavy markings of vivid purple on the falls. Beard is tangerine- 

 red. Big flowers, \erv well formed, on excellent stalks. HM MS. 19.')0. 



CONCORD RIVER (Buttrick, '56) Each $7.00 



Light blue, with very wide hafts and domed standards. The beard 

 is white. Color is smooth and even, without the detracting veins so 

 often evident in blue varieties. The 38-inch stalks are strong and 

 well branched. HM AIS, 1956. 



CONGO (Schreiner, '53) Each $1.00 



The first large dark Iris with a reddish silken sheen on top of a 

 coal-black undertone. A very good color photo of this appears on 

 page 36. Extra large, nicely branched, 42 inches in height. 



CONSTANT COMMENT (Hall, '54) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Pinkish apricot is probably the best way to describe the color of 

 this delicious looking affair. Or, you might call it a "peachy" tint. 

 .\t home with the pinks, and from pink breeding, it flaunts a heavy 

 red-orange beard that is as brilliant as a house afire. Flowers are 

 large and heavily substanced with ruffled and finely notched edges. 

 Bold stalks and thrifty foliage, a huskv grower. 36 inches tall. HM 

 AIS, 1956. 



COOL COMFORT (Tompkins, '58) Each $5.00 



.A lovely new citron-yellow Iris of large size and delightful form. 

 The broad, heavily substanced petals have a sleek sparkling finish 

 and a hint of lace. This is a self, including the beard, but there is 

 a small, snow-white, green flushed blaze at its tip. .\ luscious and 

 refreshing flower, certain to please. Rather late, 36 inches tall. HM 

 AIS, 1961. 



COPPER HALO (Gibson, '58) Each $5.00 



Here we have a new plicata from the originator of the popular but 

 still scarce Taholah. Illustrated on page 26, it is a creamy white or 

 ivory ground in both standards and falls, heavilv peppered and 

 stitched with rosy copper. Broad petals, graceful ruffling and thick 

 texture mark this strain and set a new standard for plicata types. 

 Copper Halo is a lively color pattern which blends well in almost 

 any garden scheme. Very late. 34-36 inches in height. HM AIS, 1958.
