BALLERINA 



FULL REWARD (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $3.50 

 Another seedling of Solid Gold and one of the larg- 

 est and most deeply toned yellows we have ever seen. 

 The falls are exceptionally wide right up to the 

 point where they meet the fully domed standards. 

 Extra good branching and an abundance of blos- 

 soms. 3 feet or over. HM AIS, 1956. Color picture on 

 page 54. 



FUSILIER (Tompkins, '58) Each $10.00 



A brand new orange-yellow self, including the beard, 

 near to chome-orange by the color chart. This was 

 outstanding in the Fleur-de-Lis gardens last season 

 and we are glad to offer it as one of the best and 

 newest of all yellows. Large, heavily ruffled, velvety 

 textured. 38 inches. 



GALA FINALE (Deforest, '50) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Strong, deep yellow, heavily overlaid Indian red and 

 appears from a distance to be red. A fancy and very 

 colorful plicata with great garden value. 36 inches 

 tall. 



GALILEE (Fay, '56) Each $15.00 



Giant medium blue self with a white beard. The 

 color holds in sun or rain and is decidedly blue for 

 an Iris. Mr. Fay has produced some excellent things 

 in blue— such as Bluebird Blue and Butterfly Blue- 

 but this tops them all! HM AIS, 1956; AM, 1958. 



GARDEN GLORY (Whiting, '43) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A pure self of rich Bordeaux-red; a seedling from 

 Red Douglas crossed with Garden Magic. This is 

 one of the nearest to true red of any Iris ever flow- 

 ered in our gardens; pure, deep and rich, with no 

 haft venation whatsoever. Smoothly finished with 

 deep bronze-gold beard. Height 33 inches. HM AIS, 

 1945; AM, 1947. 



GARDEN GOLD (Hall, '56) Each $3.50 



Solid, deep chrome-yellow throughout, except for the 

 fiery orange-red beard. While the beard is not actual- 

 ly red it is so deep an orange tone as to appear al- 

 most red and certainly sets this Iris apart from all 

 other yellows. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1957. 



GAY BORDER (DeForest, '49) 



Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



If you like plicatas and are looking for a new 

 and distinct effect in this line we think you 

 will be pleasantly surprised by this one. The 

 impression is that of a clean white flower 

 bordered and stitched with red. The wide 

 falls have a touch of gold at the haft. Large, 

 tall and well branched. HM AIS, 1949. See 

 page 28. 



GAY HEAD (Knowlton, '54) Each $3.50 



A true variegata with genuine personality. The 

 standards are clear bright yellow and nicely ruffled; 

 the falls deep maroon with a solid border of clean 

 yellow extending right up to the center of the flow- 

 er. There are no haft marks. HM AIS, 1954. Bred 

 by Harold Knowlton, recent President of the Amer- 

 can Iris Society. 



FRONT PAGE (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $3.50 



One of the superb seedlings of Solid Gold, seen and exclaimed over in the Kleinsorge 

 garden since they flowered for the first time. The ground color is deep red-gold, 

 lightening to almost white on the central area of the falls. This is close to the color 

 pattern of Prospector but the flower is almost twice that size and over three feet 

 tall. Picture on page 12 is close to the real thing. HM .AIS. 1956. 



FROST and FLAME (Hall, '57) Each $10.00 



Mr. Hall has worked for several years in an effort to bring out a faultless white with 

 the tangerine beard so closely associated with the flamingo-pinks. And here we have 

 it! The flowers are large, the stiff stems reach four feet, and the thick petals are as 

 clean and white as a sheet. Every judge who has seen this has been enthusiastic 

 about it. HM AIS, 1957: AM, 1959. Illustrated on page 52. 



GAYLORD (Douglas, '50) Each $2.00 



With pure white standards and velvety red-purple 

 falls bordered white, we have here a vast improve- 

 ment on the famous and long popular Wabash. Gay- 

 lord is more than twice as large as its predecessor 

 and will soon displace it. 38 inches; late. HM AIS, 

 1949. 



GLITTERING GOLD (Murray, '55) 



Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Huge golden orange self, one of the very largest and 

 most imposing Iris we have ever seen, anywhere! We 

 purchased the stock in 1952 and intended to intro- 

 duce it the following year, but, while a grand grow- 

 er in the South, it is slightly tender in cold or wet 

 sections. If you live in the South or an arid section, 

 where it will succeed, you will swear that it should 

 rate a Dvkes Medal! HC AIS, 1954.
