DOT & DASH 



DOT & DASH (Hall, 1960) Each $20.00 



This surprising plicata has been an attraction in both the 

 Hall garden and in our own for the past few seasons. It 

 has borne the nickname of Dave's "Black SC White", but 

 was not registered as such. Our illustration is quite ac- 

 curate, showing the almost solidly colored blackish violet 

 standards and bright falls of pure white with blackish 

 margins. Most of the peppery effect is confined to the 

 outer area of the falls. The beards are inconspicuous. 

 Flowers are waved and flaring, well spaced on good 

 branches, and are produced in great profusion. 33-36 

 inches. Seedling No. 53-13. 



"Received my Iris shipment last week and had the pleasure of putting in 

 the largest Iris rhizomes I have ever seen. They were so heavy and in such 

 perfect condition." 



MRS. W. R. FALLS, Lome Park, Canada 



CHINQUAPIN (Gibsor^, 1960) 



Each $25.00 



A big golden brown plicata, the 

 standards solid golden brown, the 

 falls same color with ivory shading 

 in the central areas where they are 

 speckled and blended with brown. 

 Standards are extra broad and fluted 

 or waved, completely closed at the 

 top. The wide falls flare gracefully 

 and seem to undulate at the margins. 

 Beard is bronzy orange. This Iris 

 won the cup at the Regional Meet- 

 ing in Southern California last sea- 

 son. Mr. Gibson called this seedling 

 "Honey Bear" but the name had 

 been taken. Anyway, it certainly is 

 "a honey" in the plicata class! 

 Heisht 34-36 inches. No. 29-3DD. 



LOVELY LETTY 



(HaW, 1960) Each $20.00 

 Bright violet-blue with very 

 brilliant tangerine beard. 30- 

 32 inches tall, with many 

 flowers. Very flaring falls, 

 standing almost horizontal — 

 a fine feature for an Iris of 

 medium height. Self colored 

 except for the fiery beard. Seedling 

 No. 56-119. 



POINT LACE (Gibson, 1960) 



Each $25.00 



Here is a big, clean, ivory-cream 

 flower with tangerine beard. As the 

 name implies, the entire blossom is 

 fringed with lace at the edges — both 

 standards and falls. Even the style- 

 arms carry this ornamentation. Un- 

 like so many recent "lacy" intro- 

 ductions this one has size, including 

 extra broad falls of flaring form. 

 Standards are domed, with heavy 

 mid-ribs. Harold Fletcher, President of the British Iris 

 Society, toured this country at Iris time in 1959. In com- 

 menting, he wrote, "Point Lace, I think, is the best thing 

 that I saw anywhere." Stalks are rigid and reach a height 

 of 36 inches. Seedling No. 19-3L.
