WILD GINGER 



SIVA-SIVA (Gibson, 1962) Each $25.00 



A flamboyant combination of rich golden standards flushed 

 with cinnamon and porcelain white falls heavily bordered 

 and etched brilliant red-mahogany-brown. The contrast is 

 more pronounced and vivid than indicated in our picture 

 above. All petals are fluted and rippled and the flaring falls 

 are almost horizontal. Named for a colorful and exciting 

 Samoan dance akin to the hula. The large, long lasting 

 flowers are fragrant with the scent of spice. Height 36 

 inches. A seedling of My Honeycomb, it is No. 16-6 PT. 



SON OF SATAN (Wkkersham, 1962) Each $20.00 



A large blackish-maroon self, with, a sooty overlay and 

 bronzy brown beard in harmony. The falls are especially 

 wide at the haft and are semi-flaring. Neither black nor red, 

 the color has been described by some as deepest plum with 

 a mulberry cast. This is a vigorous grower, producing many 

 \^ ell-branched 3 -foot stems to the clump. A very rich piece 

 of color which has attracted much attention in the Urbana, 

 Ohio garden of the originator. 



WILD GINGER (Gibson, 1962) Each $25.00 



A deeply flounced and ruffled new plicata in ginger brown 

 and creamy white, the standards almost solid soft brown. 

 Flowers measure almost 8 inches from tip to tip. The heavy 

 ruffling extends far up into the throat which is peppered 

 with a warm golden brown. It inherits the impressive sturdy 

 form of Taholah — one of the parents — although it is 

 much taller and more deeply flounced and a much browner 

 shade. Petals possess a waxed or starchy quality of stiffness 

 which adds to the especially long lasting period of each 

 blossom. Here is something which has taken the fancy of 

 everyone who has seen it ! Height 35 inches. H.C. AIS, 1961. 



JUDY MARSONETTE (Hall, 1962) Each $20.00 



Here is the deepest pink Iris we have thus far introduced! 

 In addition to its luscious and smoothly uniform color the 

 large blossoms are of tailored perfection in form, the falls 

 semi-flaring and of thick texture. Beard is brilliant red- 

 orange. A short row of this in our field last year lured all 

 visitors. Stems are stout, w ell branched, 34 inches tall. No. 

 58-101.
