TECHNY CHIMES (Bro. Charles, '55) Each $7.50 



A gorgeous light yellow with very deep red-orange beard. From 

 similar breeding as the new Garden Gold, but a different shade of 

 yellow and very unlike it in form. This is certainly a striking Iris 

 and the branching is a special feature. HM AIS, 1955. 36 inches. 



TEMPLE BELLS CHa//, '52; Each $1.50 



A larger and more metallic colored Hi-Time— a sort of apricot- 

 yellow with no peachy undertone. The blooms are extra large, 

 the falls flaring 'way out and then drooping gracefully with a 

 slight ruffle. Note the heavy red-orange beard. A seedling of Dolly 

 Varden, considered by Mr. Hall as his finest golden apricot self, 

 36 inches, well branched. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954. See page 19. 



THE CITADEL (Watkins, '54) Each $5.00 



Here is a seedling of the grand pure white Helen 

 McKenzie and one which most critics agree will be 

 a leader for years to come. It would be hard to im- 

 agine anything more nearly perfect. HM AIS, 1954; 

 AM, 1959. 



THOTMES III (Kleinsorge, '50) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00

 the Kleinsorge "browns" have become known and 

 grown the world over . . . deep browns, pale tans, 

 sultry blends in many hues. This one is medium 

 light in tone, a smooth self of glistening golden tan 

 with a light bronze beard. It is a gigantic Iris with 

 extra broad falls and heavy texture. 40 inches tall. 

 HM AIS, 1951; AM, 1953. One of the "Five Iris of 

 the Year" for 1959. Shown on pages 23 and 24.

 period. Height 40 inches. HM AIS, 1945; AM, 1949. 



TOAST AN' HONEY (Kleinsorge, '53) Each $3.50

 such things as San Antone, Bryce Canyon and Thotmes III. A 

 full and generously proportioned flower, with wide segments, the 

 falls flaring and waved at the edges. General color is rich light 

 golden brown, like butter and honey, and the falls are shaded 

 deeper toast-brown, especially on the edges and near the hafts. It 

 is of stocky build, well branched, with heavy large blooms pro- 

 duced on 32-inch stems. HM AIS, 1955. See page 17.

 tifully shaped and of firm substance. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1954. 



TOP FAVORITE (Schreiner, '57) Each $7.50

 the center of the flower. Color is clear and bright and the blos- 

 soms are ideally formed, flaring and ruffled at the outer edges. It 

 is tall, strong and branched to perfection. HM AIS, 1957. 



TOP FLIGHT (Hall, '53) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00
