SPANISH PEAKS (Loomis, '47) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



One of the really great new Irises of the day, from the 

 hybridizer who gave the world the famous Elmohr. 

 Spanish Peaks may prove to be the supreme white of all 

 —a pure clean flower of immense proportions. It has every- 

 thing, including giant size, graceful form, tall stems and 

 perfect branching. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1950. 



SPOTLIGHT (Schreiner, '52) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A rich golden orange-yellow of impressi\e size and stature 

 with wonderful branching and flowers of ideal form. 

 There is a bright patch of white on each fall, just below 

 the beard. Cerainly a spotlight in the garden! 40 inches. 



SPRING CHARM (Hall, '58) Each $10.00 



Standards are pure bright pink, the falls a sort of buff- 

 pink with heavy reddish beard. This is an exceptionally 

 large Iris, the petals broad and smoothly tailored, round- 

 ed in form and the falls flare gracefully. Very late, over 

 three feet tall, with heavy stalks and large foliage. If you 

 like them big, and still not coarse, you will really go for 

 this one! See front cover. 



SPRING FESTIVAL (Hall, '58) Each $15.00 



This is shown on page 44 in as nearly exact reproduction 

 as our engravers have ever turned out. It is not a deep 

 shade of pink but is rather a definite appleblossom tint 

 with heavy geranium-red beards. The flowers are very 

 large, faultlessly fonned and slightly ruffled. Stems are tall 

 with the blooms widely spaced. It has both character and 

 color of its own which set it apart from such distinguished 

 varieties as May Hall. Lynn Hall and Pink Chimes. Plant 

 growth is robust and it increases rapidly. Height 36 to 

 40 inches. HM AIS, 1958. 



FROST AND FLAME 



SPANISH FANDANGO (Kleinsorge, '51) Each $1.50 



A swirling and ruffly affair in brilliant coppery yellow and vivid chestnut-red. 

 Those familiar with the variety Mexico will recognize this as a lively improvement 

 on that popular and distinct Iris. Spanish Fandango is a rampant grower, easily 

 reaching 4 feet, with plenty of good wide branching and lots of big frilled blos- 

 soms. All eyes will be upon it! HM AIS, 1952. 



STARSHINE (Wills, '49) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Subtle pastel shades of cream, buff and muted blue, blend- 

 ed into a pearly combination for those who like soft 

 colors. Falls flare out horizontally and the branching is 

 wide, giving it the reputation as "the Iris of most perfect 

 form." HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. 



STATEN ISLAND (K. Smith, '47) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Generally regarded as the finest true varie- 

 gata of all. Standards bright golden yellow, 

 falls velvety red, edged with a very narrow 

 band of gold. 38 inches tall. HM AIS, 1948; 

 AM, 1951. 



STEP FORWARD (Hall, '59) 



Each $15.00 



Truly a gigantic flower of light lavender- 

 blue on imposing stems. Although of great 

 size it appears graceful and attractive be- 

 cause of the waved or ruffled extra wide 

 falls. The stalks will reach 38-40 inches and 

 the branching is ideal. Here will be a can- 

 didate for first prize in the "largest bloom" 

 class, and a very beautiful one, too. This 

 is an extraordinary Iris in a somewhat staid 

 color group. 



STORM WARNING 



W (Schreiner, '53) Each $1.50 



This new "black" has both great size 



^1 and a 36-inch stalk to set it apart 



from most of its competitors. The 

 color tends to the red-black rather 

 than the blue-black of many of our 

 other dark ones, A simiptuous sheen 

 and perfect form are added fine qual- 

 ities. The beard is deep bronze. HM 

 AIS, 1954. One of the "five Iris of 

 the year" for 1959. 



SUNRAY (Hall, '50) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A large ruffled light yellow of quite ideal form and extra 

 heavv substance. One parent is the pink Floradora. These 

 pinks give a sheen and brilliance to their offspring rarely 

 found in yellows. The 36-inch stems and branching are 

 excellent. It is a fast increaser, hardy and an outstanding 

 parent for ruffled pinks and yellows. A well grown stem 

 of Sunray is well nigh the perfect Iris, HM .AIS, 1951.
