Perennial Garden of Mrs. Preston Corey, Reading, Mass 



TRANQUIL MOON (Cook, '48) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A most novel thing with light yellow to deep cream standards and 

 silvery white falls bordered the yellow of the standards. Hafts like- 

 wise shaded yellow. The falls of this Iris are extra wide and flare 

 out almost flat. Large, thick petaled and sparkling. 36 inches tall. 

 HM AIS, 1950. See page 29. 



TRIM (McKee, '56) Each $10.00 



A wonderful new red with an underlay of bronze. The blooms are 

 large and broad in all their parts, the stalks husky and well branch- 

 ed. Plant Pat. No. 1592. 



TRULY YOURS (Fay, '49) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



The heart of this spectacular creation is bright yellow, 

 shading off to almost white at the top of the standards 

 and the bottom of the falls. The entire flower is ruffled 

 and edged in lace, like Chantilly. Unopened buds are yel- 

 low, because the under sides of the falls are yellow 

 although faced white on top! Gigantic in size, 38 inches 

 tall; very late. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951; Dykes Medal, 

 1953. One of the "Five Iris of the Year" for 1959. Shown 

 on page 25. 



ULTRA VIOLET (Buss, '55) Each $3.50 



Serenely beautiful deep violet self of large proportions with domed 

 standards and flaring falls. The beard is violet too, and there is no 

 thinning out of the color at the center. Broad petaled and perfectly 

 supported on sturdy, well branched stalks. 36 inches. 



VALIMAR (Hamblen, '58) Each $15.00 



A newcomer sure to become a great favorite. Derived from Palo- 

 mino, it is a smooth apricot-pink with a wide nasturtium-red beard. 

 Judges raved over this at the 1958 American Iris Society convention _ 

 in New York, and so will you! HM AIS, 1958. FIRST VIOLET 



VANITY FAIR (Hall, '51) Each $2.50 



Clear medium true pink, very smooth and tailored in appearance. 

 Near the color of Cherie, perhaps, but really does not resemble it. 

 This is almost an ideal flamingo-pink Iris, with lots of color, stems 

 at least three feet in height, beautiful form and a very fiery tanger- 

 ine beard. It is very late. Cherie x Fantasy. HM AIS, 1952. Illus- 

 trated on page 58. 



VENGEANCE (Craig, '56) Each $4.00 



This creamy white plicata has delicate lavender stitching or brush 

 marks; the blossoms are large and delicately ruffled. Because it pro- 

 duces so many flowers on its excellent stems and increases so rapidly 

 its value as a garden subject is especially worth-while. 3 feet; early.
