LITTLE DOLLY (Hall, '61) Each $5.00 



Slender of stem, reaching a height of about 20 inches, it is loaded

 ance in Median Iris circles. Color plate on page 40 is a good like- 

 ness. HM AIS, 1962.

Something entirely different, a perky little almost black-and-white

LILAC LANE (Whitmg, '47) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00

 Iris which resemble this one in color tone. Slightly ruffled, very re- 

 fined in effect, 3 feet tall, HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1951. Shown on 

 page 49. 



LIMELIGHT (Hall, '52) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00
