WONDERMENT (Cook, '58) Each $2.50 



Iris breeders throughout the world have been agog over the progeni-

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



.'\s the name would indicate, this is an exact replica of the famous 

 Palomino, except that it is pure white. It sports the bold tangerine- 

 red beard and coppery overlay on the haft, and the standards blend 

 into copper at the base. This glowing, fiery central area is in startling 

 contrast to the otherwise immaculate whiteness of the entire flower. 

 See page 53. HM AIS, 1961. 



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



A ver>' large deep yellow self, clear and clean, with a rich yellow 

 beard and no haft markings. Perfection in form, tailored and flaring,

 Iris to bloom. 



ZEBRA (Pallida variegata) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



The only Iris with leaves striped creamy yellow and green. Excellent 

 for a foliage accent in the border and, it lends itself particularly well 

 in some t^npes of flower arrangements. Bears lavender-blue blossoms 

 but its chief value lies in its novel foliage. 



WHOLE CLOTH (Cook, '58) Each $3.50 



This is the first of the series of new style amoenas from the garden 

 of Paul Cook. Standards are pure white, the falls soft medium blue 

 and the beard is practically white. Petals are broad and flaring. HM

 creamy white, the standards almost solid soft brown. Flowers measure 

 almost 8 inches from tip to tip. The heavy ruffling extends far up into 

 the throat which is peppered with a warm golden brown. It inherits 

 the impressive sturdy form of Taholah — one of the parents — 

 although it is much taller and more deeply flounced and a much 

 browner shade. Petals possess a waxed or starchy quality of stiffness 

 which adds to the especially long lasting period of each blossom. 

 Height 35 inches. See page 32. HM AIS, 1963. 



WINE AND ROSES (Hall, '63) 



Each $15.00 



A break much sought after by hybridizers has been a combination of 

 clear rose-pink and deep violet puiple. Now here is the flower which 

 brings these colors out in truly splendid fashion — ruffled, flaring, 

 clean and sharp in contrast! The edging of rose-pink around the 

 velvety falls exactly matches the standards. There is a warm glow at 

 the heart of the flower and the beard is red-orange. Large blooms: 

 well branched. 35-inch stems. HM AIS, 1964. See page 36. 



WINTER OLYMPICS fO. Brown, '63) Each $22.50 



Domed standards and extra wide falls with elegant ruffling are fea- 

 tures of this sensational new white Iris. It was the leader in the

 won the HM .\ward of the .A.IS last year. Will be hard to beat!
