TOMECO (Suiter, '60) AA. 36" $1 .00 



Smoothly burnished oxblood red self without haft markings. Tailored 

 in appearance, the big rounded standards domed and closed and the 

 broad falls semiflaring. Bronze yellow beard. HM, '62. Cook-Lapham 

 Award for best Red Iris in 1965. Picture page 51. 



TOP BILLING (Nelson, '69) ML. 42" $1 0.00 



A startling new white with "house-afire" red beard. Borne on heavy, 

 stalwart stems reaching up to four feet in height, the very large, 

 ideally formed flowers have the finish of white porcelain and are of 

 extra thick substance. Shown on page 11. 



TOUCHE (Hamblen, '69) ML. 34" $1 2.50 



Standards are pink flushed blue-violet. Falls are blue-violet with blue 

 flash edged violet. Beard is burnt orange. Pleasing form with firmly 

 held standards and horizontally flaring falls. Well branched. HM, 

 '70; AM, '72. 



TOWN AND COUNTRY (Gaulter, '71) ML. 34" $15.00 



A silvery rose-violet of spreading form and with unusual curls and 

 contrasting appendages in the standards. Both standards and falls 

 are of a uniform, bright rose-violet hue and the beard is white. All 

 petals are gracefully waved at the margins. Large flowers on stout 

 stems. See page 9. 



Sunny Splendor $3.00 



TRITON (Julander, '63) M. 36" $2.00 

 Rich marine-blue with very wide petals. Standards are arched and 

 closed at the top; the falls flare almost horizontally and are waved 

 at the margins. This is a fine addition to the blue class, clean and 

 sparkling! HM, '64. 



TAWNY MINK (Schreiner, '68) ML. 37" $4.00 



Such a rich, golden yellow, so lavishly ruffled and fluted, that it stands 

 out in the garden like a beacon. Here is an Iris of rugged constitution, 

 fine form, wonderful branching and all around exceptional quality. 

 HM, '67. 



ULTRALURE (Gibson, '68) ML. 34" $5.00 



A copper and white plicata, the standards flushed with mulberry 

 and a soft tint of mulberry barely present near the rim of the falls. 

 Petals are decidedly crimped and fluted at the margins. Derived from 

 Wild Ginger, it is less pinkish, and more of a bright copper-brown 

 efi^ect than we have in the parent. Shown on page 18. 



TECHNY CHIMES (Bro. Charles, '55) M. 36" $1 .50 



A gorgeous light yellow with very deep red-orange beard. This is 

 certainly a striking Iris and the branching is a special feature. HM, 

 '55; AM, '57; tied for Dykes Medal in 1960. See page 44. 



TIBURON (Gaulter, '71) hK. 36" $15.00 



From a long line of seedlings involving Arctic Flame we have this deep 

 orchid with flaming red beard and fringed petal edges. All petals are 

 fluted and waved, the blossoms of great size and are indeed remindful 

 of giant orchids. See page 7. 



ULTRAPOISE (Hoyd, '62) ML. 34" $3.00 



Here is something really new and different in yellow. Described as 

 straw yellow with a flush of pink in the standards, the very bright 

 reddish tangerine beard glows like fire. Perfectly branched. HM, 

 •63; AM, '65. 



UPROAR (Tompkins, '70) VL. 38" $15.00 



A clean, new, very large red; elegant form with broad petals, which 

 are flawlessly clean. Substance is heavy and does not burn nor fade; 

 flared and ruffled. 



TINSEL TOWN (Tompkins, '67) ML. 38" $1 0.00 



Pure, clean white with center of molten gold. Undersides of the falls 

 are yellow and this second color is exposed by the ruffles and folds 

 of the petal margins. Here is one of the largest of all Iris, magnificent 

 in every way. HM, '68; AM, '70. See page 10. 



VALIMAR (Hamblen, '58) ML. 36" $1 .00 



A smooth apricot-pink with a wide nasturtium-red beard. Judges 

 raved over this at the 1958 American Iris Society Convention in New 

 York, and so will you! HM, '58; AM, '60. See page 51. One of the "5 

 Iris of the Year" for 1965. 



TOLL GATE ^Coolc, '59) M. 40" $1 .50

 long yellow beard extending across the lighter haft. Very tall, with 

 many flowers per stem, widely spaced. HM, '59; AM, '62. Illustrated 

 on page 52. 



VELVET ROBE (Schreiner, '60) M. 34" $1 .50
