ESTHER FAY (Fay, '61) Each $10.00 



A beautiful pink self, large in size, ruffled and broad petaled. This is 

 new and a favorite of one of America's best known producers of 

 quality originations. A bright, reddish-pink beard makes the center 

 glow. 35 inches. HM AIS, 1962; AM, 1964. 



FIRE DANCE (Fay, '47) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



A much deeper, richer and taller Firecracker. Fire Dance is a bur- 

 gundy-red plicata, both standards and falls heavily marked all over 

 with dark wine-red, the ground color buff. Flowers are round and 

 full, the falls flaring. A prolific bloomer, 40 inches tall. HM AIS 

 1947. 



ETHEREAL PINK (Gibson, '62) Each $5.00 



This is an exquisitely laced new pink self with melon pink beard, 

 jewel-like in finish and color. The standards are large and domed, 

 the falls wide and held high before arching. Style arms are large 

 and heavily laciniated in keeping with the "pinking shears" treat- 

 ment of all petal edges. Vigorous, well branched, three feet in height. 



FABULOUS (Kleinsorge, '58) Each $2.50 



Here is a flower remindful of the splendor in a scene from a tale 

 in the Arabian Nights! Our picture on page 45 is neither deep 

 enough in tone nor sufficiently brilliant to portray the pageant of 

 color loosed in the garden when this Iris unfolds ... a blend of 

 red, rose, violet and copper. Very large, quite late. 36-38 inches. 

 HM AIS, 1958. 



FIRE MAGIC (Schreiner, '62) Each $10.00 



Big and bold, tall and faultlessly branched; a gleaming, fiery, copper- 

 red with widely flaring falls and large closed standards. Exceptionally 

 red for an Iris and with the sun on it or through it. Fire Magic 

 really lives up to its name! 42 inches. HM AIS, 1963. 



FIRENZE (O. Brown, '58) Each $3.00 



A bright violet-blue self with startling contrasting beard of tangerine 

 red. Flaring falls and wide hafts help to display this unusual com- 

 bination. Height to 40 inches. HM AIS, 1958. 



FIRST VIOLET (DeForest, '52) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



Lovely clear light violet self, the standards, falls and even the beard 

 being of uniform hue. Winner of Dykes Medal in 1956. 



FAIRY FABLE (Ernsf, '61) Each $7.50 



This one, resulting from Lynn Hall crossed with May Hall combines 

 the best features of both parents. The shade of pink is about midway 

 between these two. The falls possess great width, extra thick sub- 

 stance and are ruffled and waved at the margins. The heavy beard is 

 deep tangerine-red. 36 inches. Shown on page 34. HM AIS, 1962. 



FASHION SHOW (Hamblen, '59) Each $2.50 



Here is a combination of shades and tints in violets, mauve and gold 

 dust, unmatched by any Iris we know. Flowers are widely flaring, the 

 standards closed, and handsome ruffling adds attractiveness. Beard is 

 brilliant orange. Long blooming season. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1959. 



FATHER RIGNEY (Mission, '56) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



Very large dark violet with violet beard tipped white. High up on 

 the "shoulders," where the standards and falls meet, there is a dark 

 brown blotch which adds interest and beauty to this richly colored 

 Iris. It is an exceptionally vigorous grower; tall, straight and well 

 branched. 42 inches. 



FESTOON (Hall, '58) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



A luscious blend of caramel and peach and salmon-pink, with extra 

 heavy beard of tangerine-red. The coloring is positively mouthwater- 

 ing! Note the crimped and ruffled edges of both standards and falls in 

 the picture on page 40. It is quite early, of good size, well branched 

 on 38-inch stems. HM AIS, 1959. 



FIRE BRIGADE (Schreiner, '57) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Glowing crimson-red, shapely in form of flower, of good size and 36 

 inches in height. The beard is bronze-orange. Well named, it pro- 

 vides an especially fiery clump of garden color. HM AIS, 1958. See 

 page 43. 



"/ just had to write and thank you for my lovely Iris. They 

 were just beautiful rhizomes! The "extra" was one I didn't 

 have hut wanted very much. You are indeed the most gra- 

 cious company I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with."

FIRE CHIEF (Galyon, '59) Each $2.50 



The most brilliant variegata, the deep yellow standards clean and 

 clear, the very red toned falls large and devoid of haft markings. 

 Stalks will often reach to four feet in height. HM AIS, 1959. See 

 page 20. 



FIRECRACKER (Hall, '43) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A glowing bright burgundy-red plicata, with yellow trim. Well 

 named, it is one of the flashiest things in any Iris collection. The 

 fairly large flowers have good substance and are carried on stout 

 32-inch stems. HM AIS, 1943. Pictured on page 47.
