FLUTED COPPER (Kleinsorge, '57) Each $1 .50 



Canning on the long line of bronze, brown and tan Iris for which 

 the Doctor has become so well known, this distinct one is in metallic 

 shades of hammered copper. Both the standards and falls are bright 

 coppery tan, curled and crinkled, broad and in good balance. The 

 beard is bronzy orange. Height 34-36 inches. Pictured in color on 

 page 21. 



FLUTED HAVEN (Reynolds, '58) Each $10.00 



A swirly and frilly big white of heavy substance. This bears some 

 resemblance to Celestial Snow but is more on the creamy side. The 

 flaring falls are delightfully fluted. Quite early; 35 inches. AM, 1962. 



FOAMING SEAS (Sfevens, '60) Each $3.00 



A frothy, ruffly light blue with deeper veins, suggestive of the 

 churning surf against a rocky shore. The beard is bluewhite. Mas- 

 sive flowers, widely spreading in form and freely produced on 3-foot 

 stalks. HM AIS, 1960. 



FORTUNE'S GIFT (Mitsch, '55) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Huge, 7-inch flowers with very wide and spreading falls, a seedling 

 of Cordovan crossed with Inca Chief. The color is deep but bright 

 metallic brown, with bronze beard. 40 inches in height. HM AIS, 

 1956. 



FORWARD MARCH (Lapham-Wise, '60) Each $2.50 



Deep uniform ruby-crimson with wide and flat flaring falls of velvety 

 texture. There are no haft venations and the dull bronze-yellow 

 beard blends well with the richness and depth of this newcomer to 

 the red fold. 30 inches. 



FOXFIRE (Fox, '53) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A grand golden yellow self which was awarded the President's Cup

FRONT PAGE (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50

BUHERSCOTCH KISS 



FROST and FLAME (Hall, '57) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



Mr. Hall worked for several years in an effort to bring out a faultless 

 white with the tangerine beard so closely associated with the flamin- 

 go-pinks. And here we have it! The flowers are large, the stiff stems 

 reach four feet, and the thick petals are as clean and white as a sheet. 

 HM AIS, 1957; AM, 1959. Illustrated on page 14. 



FLAG SHIP (Tompkins, '60) Each $2.00 



A true light violet blue self, including the beard. The lovely, cool, 

 clear color has such luminous quality as to make it outstandingly 

 diff'erent. Perfect in every way — flower, stalk and plant growth. 

 Height 40 inches. HM AIS, 1961. 



FLASHING GEM (Gibson, '63) Each $10.00 



Very tall and very large bright yellow with a band of bright rose- 

 purple surrounding each fall. The standards are yellow shading into 

 the same rose-purple trim on the falls. Actually more brilliant than 

 our picture on page 30 seems to portray — but this gives you a fair 

 idea. Note the purple tips on the style arms. Widely branched and 

 blooms over a very long season. 40 inches in height. 



FLORADORA FLOUNCE (Gibson, '64) Each $1 5.00 



Of all the plicata patterns wc have seen in the Gibson garden none 

 matches this one for either color or downright novelty . . . and few, 

 if any, for size. The large, silky standards are extra broad and closed, 

 beautifully ruffled, a solid, metallic light brown. Falls are extra wide, 

 striated and dotted deep nutmeg on cream, deeper at the margins 

 and the beard is orange. The entire flower is flounced and ruffled. 

 Height 34 inches. See page 44. 



FULL DRESS (O. Brown, '60) Each $7.50 



Heavily laced bright yellow with saffron yellow beard. The flowers 



have domed standards and graceful, semi-flaring falls. Tall, strong 

 stalks with fine branching. HM AIS, 1960. 



FULL REWARD (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



One of the largest and most deeply toned yellows we have ever seen. 

 The falls are exceptionally wide right up to the point where they 

 meet the fully domed standards. Extra good branching and an 

 abundance of blossoms. 3 feet or over. HM AIS, 1956. Color picture 

 on page 48. 



FULL VOLTAGE (Tompkins, '60) Each $7.50 



Standards are brilliant dandelion gold, broad and domed. Falls are 

 like rich white velvet with a half-inch border of precise stitching, the 

 same bright yellow of the standards. 38-inch stems, well branched. 

 HM AIS, 1961. 



FUSILIER (Tompkins, '58) Each $2.00 



.\n orange-yellow self, including the beard, near to chrome-orange by 

 the color chart. This was outstanding in the Fleur-de-Lis gardens last 

 season and we are glad to offer it as one of the best and newest of all 

 yellows. Large, heavily ruffled, velvetv textured. 38 inches HM .MS, 

 1961.
