GYPSY LULLABY CO. Brown, '61) M. 36" $1 .50 



Ruffled standards of butterscotch with a light violet flush; flaring 

 very wide falls of medium rcd-violet shading to the color of the 

 standards. This is distinctly different and has produced some novel 

 seedlings. HM, '62; AM, '64. See page 41. 



HAWAIIAN BREEZE (Hall, '61) ML. 36" $1 .50 



A delicately colored flower that is neither pink nor mauve, but is 

 from pink breeding and could be called a pink blend. It is so differ- 

 ent from others of this series, so enchanting in its pastel shadings 

 and so excitingly unique. Large, well formed and nicely branched. 

 See page 49. HM, '63. 



HENNA STITCHES (Gibson, '61) EM. 36" $1.00 



A very bright combination of frosty white and gleaming henna- 

 copper. The petals are gracefully flounced and ruffled. A feature which 

 enlivens this plicata is the metallic gleam of the reddish margins and 

 stylearms. HM, '62. 



HENRY SHAW (C. Benson, '59) M. 38" $2.00 

 A giant white, perfectly proportioned, crimped and ruffled and with 

 a greenish undertone on the falls. The huge buds have a greenish

 '59; AM, '61. Best white Iris of 196."). See page 44. 



HIGH ABOVE (Deforest, '61) M. 36" $2.00 



One of the late Fred DeForest's masterpieces. Color is pale sky blue, 

 smooth and even, the texture like satin. Very spreading falls, waved 

 at the edges, seven to nine blooms to the 36-inch stalk. HM, '62; AM, 

 '64. See page 45. 



HIGH ESTEEM (Tompkins, '66) ML. 36" $5.00 



This is a new, beautifully formed, deep Peachglow pink with a bright 

 coral-rose beard. The stems are ramrod stiff, perfectly branched and 

 flowers from midseason to very late. Large flowers, elegantly ruffled. 

 HM, '67. See page 24. 



HIGH LIFE (Schreiner, '64) L. 36" $3.00

 larger and taller than that fine variety. The giant, richly hued flowers 

 resemble some rare tropical orchid. Late. HM, '65. Shown on page 38. 



African Queen $10.00 



HEARTBREAKER (Hall, '64) ML. 36" $2.00 



A large, flaring pink self, with deep pink beard and a worthy mem-

 season to late. Shown on page 51 . HM, '65. 



HEATHER HAWK (Gibson, '66) ML. 36" $3.50 



Almost pure white falls with a narrow band of pinkish copper and 

 light plicata markings on the haft. The standards are pale copper

 beard are a contrasting old gold tint. Large blooms. See page 39. 

 HM, '68. 



HEAVENLY DAYS (Wickersbam, '63) M. 36" $2.00 

 Too many blues? Not with the quality, form, size and crisp clear 

 June sky hue of this one! Standards are wide and upright, practically 

 closed at the top, waved and of heavy substance. The falls are extra 

 broad and flaring, set off with a creamy white beard. Good branching 

 and very long lasting.
