SHEIK OF ARABY (Wickersham, 1960) 



Each $25.00 



When you see this grand new blend you 

 will just instinctively think of Persian rugs 

 and the Arabian Nights! A symphony in 

 muted violets, bronze and copper, its gor- 

 geous colors might aptly bedeck a prince 

 of the storied Middle-East. The very large 

 flowers lack nothing in either form, sub- 

 stance or width of petal that goes into 

 making of a perfect Iris. Stems are strong 

 and sturdy, the branching well placed. 

 Height is about 36-38 inches. Parentage is 

 Oriental Glory x (Argus Pheasant x Gar- 

 den Glory). From the garden of D. P. 

 Wickersham, in Urbana, Ohio, which em- 

 braces one of the most comprehensive Iris 

 collections in this country. Shown on page 

 three. 



ROMANESQUE 



ROMANESQUE (Hall, 1960) Each $25.00 



A very large, deep mulberry flower, near the color of El- 

 mohr but a bit more "rosy." The beard is not heavy but 

 is quite reddish, more so than the picture shows. Ruffled 

 and waved, with very broad standards and falls. Stalks 

 are tall and stiff, the branching very good. This was a 

 "stunner" here last year. Seedling No. 56-15. 



LA ROSITA (Hall, 1960) Each $20.00 



A large, broad petaled, soft uniform rose self. Area be- 

 low the beard is paler, almost white, in center. Haft mark- 

 ings are not conspicuous, but give a rosy tan flush near 

 the center of the flower. Beard is pale tangerine — not red. 

 Photo is a good likeness but the beard hardly deep enough. 

 Very tall — 36-40 inches. Seedling No. 55-07B. 



"You are to be complimented on the size and condition of each rhizome. 

 These will add very much to my already large selection of Cooley Iris." 



MRS. FRED B. LEATHERS, Athens, Georgia

 Iris shipped as I received from you." 



MRS. SAMUEL T. ALLEN, Sapulpa. Oklahoma
