ELMOHR (Loomis, '42) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



\\ inner of the Dykes iMedal in 1945. lliis gianl Iris has consistently 

 led all others in point of sales popularity. ,\nd no wonder! The 

 great rich red-violet blooms are daintily ruffled, of a silky texture 

 and remarkable substance. The stems are well branched and at 

 least 3 feet tall. HM AIS, 1942; -AM, 1943. See page 30. 



ENCHANTED VIOLET (Hamblen, '58) Each $15.00 



This striking new creation is unicjue for the combination of pink 

 and orchid tints in the heart of the flower. It is a lovely shade of 

 light violet, slightly ruffled, and the heavy beard is fiery tangerine- 

 red. Together with its large blossoms and sturdy stalks it drew 

 crowds of admirers at the New York Convention of the .American 

 Iris Society. HM AIS, 1958. 



ENCHANTRESS (Hall, '54) Each $2.00 



Delicate parchment color, faintly flushed with pink, especially in the 

 standards. The central area of the falls has an overlay of amber and 

 the beard is brilliant orange. Unlike any other of Mr. Hall's fine 

 things. It is an extra late Iris, with heavy stems and an enamel-like 

 finish to the large flowers. 34-36 inches. See page 17. 



FIRECRACKER (Hall, '43) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A glowing bright burgundy-red plicata. with yellow trim. Well 

 named, it is one of the flashiest things in any Iris collection. The 

 fairly large flowers have good substance and are carried on stout 

 32-inch stems. HM .A.IS, 1934. Pictured on page 27. 



FIRE DANCE (Fay, '47) Each $1 .00 



A much deeper, richer and taller Firecracker. Fire Dance is a bur- 

 gundy-red plicata, both standards and falls heavily marked all over 

 with dark wine-red, the ground color buff. Flowers are round and 

 full, the falls flaring. A prolific bloomer, 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 

 1947. See page 41. 



FIRST VIOLET (DeForesf, '52) Each $4.00 



Lovely clear light violet self, the standards, falls and even the beard 

 being of uniform hue. Winner of Dykes Medal in 1956 and illustrat- 

 ed on page 55. 



FLAME KISS (Plough, '58) Each $10.00 



^\■hite standards with yellow base, the falls clear yellow set ofl: with a 

 rich tangerine beard. This Iris, with its bright, sharp colors, created 

 quite a stir at the Oklahoma convention of the American Iris Society. 

 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1959. 



EVELYN BYE (Kleinsorge, '56) Each $3.50 



A very lo\ ely harmonv of cocoa, blue, \ iolet and 

 old gold. Something different in the family of 

 delightful blends from this master hybridizer of 

 elusive tints. Falls are especially wide, flaring, 

 and are slightly ruffled. Large flowers; height 35 

 inches. 



EXTRAVAGANZA (Douglas, '44) 



Each 75c, 3 for $2.00 



Almost white standards shaded cream at the base, 

 the falls a medley of copper, red-la\ender and 

 deep violet, with a violet flush down the center. 

 On the order of Wabash, but is more of a blend 

 especially in the falls. HM AIS, 1944; AM. 1947. 



FABULOUS (Kleinsorge, '58) Each $15.00 

 Here is a flower remindful of the splendor in a 

 scene from a tale in the Arabian Nights! Our 

 picture on page 50 is neither deep enough in 

 tone nor sufficiently brilliant to portray the pag- 

 eant of color loosed in the garden when this Iris 

 unfolds. Related to Oriental Glory, it carries 

 more red than that fine variety and it is far more 

 vivid. There is a more prominent blue patch just 

 below the beard than the color plate indicates. 

 Growth is vigorous, stems well branched and the 

 flowers are very large. Both last year and the year 

 before it was the "gasper" in the Kleinsorge gar- 

 den. Height 36-38 inches. HM AIS, 1958. 



FANTASY (Hall, '47) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A lo\ely rose and orchid-toned pink, distinctive 

 and quite different in color from the flamingo- 

 pinks. The color is smooth and luscious, more 

 vivid than most in this series. Beard is tangerine- 

 red. Beautiful branching, above average size, 

 stout 30-inch stems. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 1949. 



FATHER RIGNEY (Mission, '56) Each $6.00 



Very large dark violet with violet beard tipped 

 white. High up on the "shoulders", where the 

 standards and falls meet, there is a dark brown 

 blotch which adds interest and beauty to this 

 richly colored Iris. It is an exceptionally vigorous 

 grower; tall, straight and well branched. 42 inches. 



FESTOON (Hall, '58) Each $10.00 

 A luscious blend of caramel and peach and 

 salmon-pink, with extra heavy beard of 

 tangerine-red. The coloring is positively 

 mouth-watering! Note the crimped and 

 ruffled edges of both standards and falls 

 in the picture on page 45— a most attrac- 

 tive feature of this delectable novelty. 

 From pink breeding, it should be a gem 

 for the hybridizer. It is quite early, of 

 good size, well branched on 38-inch stems. 

 HM AIS, 1959.
