"We received our Iris order from you yesterday and 

 were really pleased with them. We had never received 

 larger ones from any place we had ever ordered."

Mangum, Okla. 



GALA GOWN (Corey, '59) Each $7.50 



Described as "melon color," a blend of apricot-tan and peach-pink. 

 This is a self, even the beard harmonizing with this luscious but 

 brilliant tint. Large, rounded and slightly flaring; silky finish. 36 

 inches. HM AIS, 1959. 



GALILEE (Fay, '56) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



Giant medium blue self with a white beard. The color holds in sun 

 or rain and is decidedly blue for an Iris. Mr. Fay has produced some 

 excellent things in blues but this tops them all! HM AIS, 1956; AM, 

 1958. 



GARDEN GOLD (Hall, '56) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



Solid, deep chrome-yellow throughout, except for the fiery orange- 

 red beard. While the beard is not actually red it is so deep an orange 

 tone as to appear almost red and certainly sets this Iris apart from all 

 other yellows. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1957. See page 43. 



GAYLORD (Douglas, '50) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



With pure white standards and velvety red-purple falls bordered 

 white, we have a vast improvement on the famous and long popular 

 Wabash. Gaylord is more than twice as large as its predecessor and 

 will soon displace it. 38 inches; late. HM AIS, 1949. 



GEORGIE ERNST (Hall, '62) Each $7.50 



Fluffy pale pinkish lilac, or might be described as an orchid shade 

 with a faint hint of blue in its make-up. Standards and falls are 

 identical in color, the hafts lighter in tone and a tangerine beard 

 literally sets the center on fire. The flowers are very large and beauti- 

 fully formed, the stems well branched ... as bubbly and frothy as an 

 evening gown beset with jewels in the form of the brilliant beards! 

 Height 34 inches. See page 18. 



WATERMELON 



GIANT ROSE (Schreiner, '59) Each $3.50 



Possibly the largest Iris ever introduced, the blooms actually measur- 

 ing 1 1 inches, from top to bottom! Color is a pleasing shade of lilac- 

 rose with vellow glow at the heart. Beard is bright yellow. The inch- 

 thick stems reach 40 inches. Patent No. 2067. HM AIS, 1961.
