INDIAN HILLS (Grant, 1937) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Rich true purple, more red than blue, with a silky sheen about it that 

 gives it exceptional brilliance. Very large oval-shaped blossoms, a ram- 

 pant grower and one of the most effective as a garden mass — gloriously 

 vivid. 



INSPIRATION (Stevens, 1937) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Brilliant cerise-rose, huge and imposing. This if. the onlj 1 1 i •- we have 

 in this color — something entirely differenl and it happens to have all 

 good points. Practically a sell, with slightl) brownish warm cast on the 

 haftL 



JAKE (Long-Sass, 1943) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A white-white, with no other color in it except a trace of pale yellow 

 near the center. Large flowers, well formed, free blooming and an easy 

 grower. Stands right up alonside many more expensive new whites. 



JANE PHILLIPS (Graves, 1950) Each $8.00 



A new light) blue that is deeper in color than Helen McGregor, of which 

 it is a seedling. It resembles its famous parent in form and size but be- 

 cause it carries more color it is distinct and worthy in its own right. 

 We have seen no Iris which appears nearer true blue. I1M MS. 1950: 

 AM. 1952. 



Mexico 



JAVA JEWEL (DeForest, 1951) Each $9.00 



Bright "old gold", with size, form and substance. A smooth, irridescent golden tan 

 with greenish hue. Different from the other tan-browns. 



JOSEPH'S MANTLE (Craig, 1949) Each $5.00 



Immense flowers, flaring and somewhat ruffled. Golden buff lightly washed and 

 striated red-brown, with red-brown stippling forming an almost solid Vt-inch 

 margin to the falls. One of Craig's many new fancy an unusual plicata patterns. 



JULIET (Kleinsorge, 1946) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



We think that this is one of the most colorful and fiery blends that we have seen. 

 It is a sort of flame-copper, with salmon shadings, and the beards and centTal 

 areas are a mass of brilliant burnt orange. Large flowers; the standards upright 

 and well closed, the falls broad and distinctly flaring. Increases fast and makes a 

 gorgeous clump. HM AIS, 1947.

JUNE BRIDE (Hall, 1952) Each $12.00 



The picture on page 22 is not quite right for this luscious, mouth-water- 

 ing, deep apricot-pink with the heavy geranium-red beard. It is much 

 more pink and less buff tinted than the color plate indicates. Such 

 delectable shades are associated with Tuberous Begonias and Gladiolus 

 but we have never seen them in any Iris. Large flower, horizontal falls, 

 ill inches in height. HM AIS. 1952. 



KATHERINE FAY (Fay, 1945) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



A grand white, large, tall with semi-flaring ruffled blooms. All white, 

 with no vellow in the center. It is an easy grower and rapid multiplier. 

 HM)', hardy. HM AIS. 1945; AM, 1947. 



KEZAR LAKE (Knowlton, 1951) Each $9.00 



A decidedly blue Iris. A seedling of Great Lakes, with clearer color, 

 much less of the conspicuous veining but with the otherwise good fea- 

 tures of size, form and color that have made the parent one of the great- 

 est Iris of all time. 38 inch.-. HM \ IS. 1951. 



LADY BOSCAWEN (Graves, 1946) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Alabaster-white perfection in color and form. In the originator's garden 

 it grew 4 feet in height with magnificent branching. Slightly ruffled, 

 it bears some resemblance to Helen McGregor in form. Beard is light 

 yellow and does not contrast with the pure white effect. AM AIS, 1948.
