 Stout 29-inch stems, well branched. HM AIS, 1962. 



DAVE'S ORCHID (Hall, '60) Each $3.00 



A very large Iris and one which will arouse enthusiasm in those 

 looking for something distinctly different. The color is orchid-rose 

 with bluish overlay on the falls. Hafts are marked with amber,

DEEP BLACK (Cook, '55) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50

 seedlings have come into being, this was our choice. Height 34-36 

 inches. HM AIS, 1955; A.M. 1957.

DENVER DAWN rOurronce, '64) Each $15.00 



Colorado is noted for its clear blue skies. Before the sun peeks over 

 the horizon this azure hue is flushed with rose and mauve and the 

 tints in this new Iris could hardly be more aptly described. The 

 flowers are extra large and handsome, symmetrically ruffled, and 

 borne on 36 to 40-inch stems carrying many branches. Mid-season to 

 late. Shown on Page 16.

 Very large, the petals broad and flaring. Height 40 inches. 



DESERT THISTLE (Gibson, '61) Each $7.00 



This one is not pink but is a glowing, rosy mauve, or perhaps a cap- 

 tivating blend of lavender-rose, slightly blued, would better describe 

 it. Tall, large and exciting, with wide standards and falls, finely 

 laced. See page 28. HM AIS, 1962. 



DIVINE BLUE (Wafers, '59) Each $3.50 



As blue as they come, with porcelain texture and extremely broad

 definite and vivid skv blue. Beard is light yellow. 36 inches. HM AIS, 

 1959.
