Lothario 



TIFFANY (H. Sass, 1938) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Soft but decidedly yellow in color, with abundant stitching of bronzy 

 pinkish violet. A gracefully frilled flower of full proportions; very large, 

 vigorous growing, reasonably tall. About the best of the low-priced yellow 

 plicatas. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1943. See page 34. 



TOBACCO RQAD(Kleinsorge,1942) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



When this Iris first opened in Dr. Kleinsorge's garden, it was so dif- 

 ferent, so remarkable in both color and form, that we lost all interest 

 in the many other splendid seedlings in the same garden. Tobacco Road 

 is a golden tobacco-brown self. Standards upright, almost closed, with 

 heavy midribs. Falls are broad, wide at the haft and held stiffly hori- 

 zontal. Height 32 to 36 inches, good branching. HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1946. 



Pink Sensation 



TRANQUIL MOON (Cook, 1948) Each $5.00 



A most novel new thing with light yellow to deep cream standards and 

 silvery white falls bordered the yellow of the standards. Hafts are like- 

 wise shaded yellow. The falls of this Iris are extra wide and flare out 

 almost flat, as in Tobacco Road and Ballet Dancer. Large, thick petaled 

 and sparkling; 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1950. See page 36. 



TRULY YOURS (Fay, T949) Each $15.00 



The heart of this spectacular creation is bright yellow, shading off to al- 

 most white at the top of the standards and the bottom of the falls. The 

 entire flower is ruffled and edged in lace, like Chantilly. Unopened buds 

 are yellow, because the undersides of the falls are yellow although faced 

 white on top! Gigantic in size. 33 inches tall; very late. HM AIS, 1949; 

 AM, 1951. Shown on page 5. 



TWILIGHT SKY (Fay, 1949) Each $3.00 



A pink of exceptional form and substance with pink buds and red beard. 

 Parentage is Pink Cameo x Floradora. Mr. Fay considers this the best 

 out of hundreds of seedlings raised for clear pinks. It is of lovely form 

 and tailored appearance, a soft clean clear pink with red tinged beard. 

 35 inches tall. HM AIS, 1950. 



VANITY FAIR (Hall, 1951). Each $12.00 



Clear medium true pink, very smooth and tailored in appearance. Near 

 the color of Cherie, perhaps, but leally does not resemble it. This is 

 almost an ideal flamingo-pink Iris, with lots of color, stems at least three 

 feet in height, beautiful form and a very fiery tangerine beard, ft is 

 very late. Cherie x Fantasy. (Seedling No. 47-19). HM AIS, 1952. See 

 page 7. 



VATICAN PURPLE (Whiting, 1943) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Of bold stature and splendid form, this is one of the most striking new- 

 comers in an old color class that welcomes such improvements. Deep but 

 bright blue-purple, silky in finish but heavy in texture, without haft 

 markings. It has wide spreading falls and 3-foot stems. A good picture 

 of it on page 18. HM AIS, 1943. 



VICE-REGAL (Miles, 1946) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Here is a brand new Iris from Canada, one of the most richly colored 

 seedlings we have ever grown. The standards and falls are almost 

 identical in color, but the velvet of the latter makes them appear slightly 

 deeper. Scarcely any haft markings — a supreme shade of glowing bronzy 

 red-purple with bronze beard. 33 inches tall. Shown on page 29. HM AIS, 

 1947; AM, 1951. 



VIOLET SYMPHONY (K. Smith, 1940) Each 75c 



Smoothly finished Bradley's violet self, free from venations. Practically 

 without competition in its color class, the standards full and closed, the 

 falls very broad and rounded. Not a deep color but rather a light violet- 

 purple or deep violet-mauve. A near perfect flower, 40 inches tall. HM 

 AIS, 1940; AM 1943
