COLONEL PRIMROSE (Deforest, 1951) 



Each $12.00 



A self in sparkling lemon-chrome with very wide ruffled 

 falls and closed standards. There are no haft markings and 

 the flat horizontal falls are capped with a lemon-yellow 

 beard. A different and brilliant yellow. 



COLOR CARNIVAL (DeForest, 1949) 



Each $5.00 



A startling arrangement of colors in the range of the new 

 pinks. The ground color is a deep shade of pink in both 

 standards and falls, with heavy markings of vivid purple on 

 the falls. Beard is tangerine-red. Big flowers, very well 

 formed, on exce llent stalks. HM AIS, 1950. 



COPPER MEDALLION (Schreiner, 1951) 



Each $9.00 



This seedling of Bryce Canyon is more coppery toned and 

 less red than its parent — a glittering metallic copper-brown 

 of large size and appealing form. Bronze-yellow beard. 38- 

 inch, well branched stalks. 



CORDOVAN (Kleinsorge, 1946) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A seedling of Bryce Canyon. The coloring is close to that 

 of cordovan leather — a deep coppery oxblood tone, very 

 rich and glossy. Standards are coppery rose-red, the hafts 

 are finely netted with minute webbing and the falls have a 

 distinct frill or ruffle. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 1951. 



CUSTARD (Craig, 1950) Each $4.00 



Luscious and smooth is this immense plicata in soft yel- 

 low, lightly sprinkled with cinnamon-brown. 40 inches tall, 

 a seedling of Bich Raiment. 



DEEP VELVET (Salbach, 1939) 



Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



A striking introduction, one of the richest and best Irises 

 we have yet seen. Self colored in very dark, yet bright, 

 blackish red-purple, with perfectly formed blossoms of very 

 large size. Brownish suffusion at the haft, with deep bronze 

 beard. HM AIS, 1941; AM, 1942. 



DESERT SONG (Fay, 1946) 



Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



New cream self, beautifully ruffled with extra large flowers 

 of excellent proportion. Texture is especially heavy and the 

 flowers last a long time in either rain or heat Stems reach 

 a height of 3y 2 feet. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1949. Shown on 

 page 15. 



DISTANCE (Cook, 1946) 



Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Silvery light blue, smooth in finish and very evenly 

 colored. There is no coarse veining in the flower and 

 almost no markings at the haft. The white beard is 

 quite inconspicuous. Selected from hundreds of blue 

 seedlings by the originator of such things as Sable, 

 Dreamcastle, Pink Reflection and Capt. Wells. HM 

 AIS, 1946; AM, 1949. See page 17. 



DOGROSE (Insole, 1930) Each 50c ; 3 for $1.25 



Deep rose-pink self, on very tall, wiry stems. We originally 

 imported this Iris from England several years ago and have 

 constantly had difficulty in keeping enough stock to offer. 

 A very free bloomer, it is of medium size but makes a most 

 colorful and effective pink garden clump and is a beautiful 

 cut flower in the house. 



DOLLY VARDEN (Hall, 1950) Each $10.00 



A very large light pink with a slight overlay of salmon. The 

 largest pink of the flamingo series yet named from the Hall 

 collection. It is a self with no haft markings, good form 

 and extra heavy substance and it takes the sun surprisingly 

 well. Flowers are carried on sturdy well branched stems. 

 38 inches tall. Has proven a good parent for large pinks. 

 Dolly Varden has probably attracted as much attention as 

 any Iris shown in the Hall garden. (Seedling No. 46-60). 

 HM AIS, 1950. See page 13.

 Limelight 



DREAMCASTLE (Cook, 1943) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



An orchid-pink self, segments very broad and of bright clear tones. The white beard, 

 tinted lemon at the base, tends to emphasize the solid pink effect. One of the most 

 sought after varieties. See page 18. AM AIS, 1948. 



EBONY ISLE (DeForest, 1949) Each $7.50 



Rich, smooth, well formed flowers of deepest purple, in some lights a red-black. There 

 are no markings of any kind to mar the sleek even richness of the heavy falls. The 

 very dark thickly set beards are tipped burnt orange. In spite of its darkness it glows 

 with color. 33 to 36 inches, late. HM AIS, 1950.
