Chinese Coral $3.50 



Cape Town $6.00 



DEBBY RAIRDON (Kuntz, '65) EM. 34" Each $5.00 



Soft yellow standards, very full and waved, well held and almost 

 closed at the top. The falls are milk white but heavily banded with 

 rich yellow and the under sides are solid yellow. Lovely form, with 

 attractive ruffling. HM AIS, 1966; AM, 1968. See page 12'. 



DEEP SPACE (Tompkins, '61) ML. 40" Each $1.00 



Richest indigo blue, a gigantic flower, broad petaled and smooth in 

 the extreme. There are no veinings or haft marks. Beard is heavy and 

 rich indigo in color. 40-inch stems and heavy foliage. A real stand- 

 out! HM AIS, 1962. See page 17. 



DEMETRIA (Hinkle, '58) M. 36" Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Big and beautiful medium blue, slightly ruffled, with a hint of lav- 

 ender in the falls. The Hinkle blues— Helen Novak, Symphony, and 

 Demetria— occupy a special niche in the world of topnotch Iris in 

 shades of blue. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1960. See page 36. 



DENVER DAWN (Durrance, '64) ML. 38" Each $3.00 



Colorado is noted for its clear blue skies. Before the sun peeks over 

 the horizon this azure hue is flushed with rose and mauve and the 

 tints in this new Iris could hardly be more aptly described. The 

 flowers are extra large and handsome, symmetrically ruffled, and 

 borne on 36- to 40-inch stems carrying many branches. Mid-season to 

 late. Shown on page 15. HM AIS, 1967. 



DENVER MINT (Knopf, '63) EM. 38" Each $3.00 



Deep Dresden yellow, creamy toward the center, the large flowers 

 fluted and ruffled and of leather-like texture. This is one of the most 

 popular of the newer yellows. HM AIS, 1965; AM, 1967. 



DESERT THISTLE (Gibson, '61 )M. 36" Each $1 .50 



This one is not pink but is a glowing, rosy mauve, or perhaps a cap- 

 tivating blend of lavender-rose, slightly blued, would better describe 

 it. Tall, large and exciting, with wide standards and falls, finely 

 laced. See page 22. HM AIS, 1962. 



DIPLOMAT (Tompkins, '66) ML. 40" Each $7.50 



This is one of the finest, in every way, of all the new blues— a giant 

 flower of even, smooth tone and enamel-like finish. The shade of 

 blue is dark and glowing, intensified by a bright ultramarine blue 

 beard. Huge ruffled flowers on 40-inch stalks. Quite late. HM AIS, 

 1968. 



DOCTOR K. (Tell, '60) ML. 36" Each $1.50 



Truly brown in all its parts, with a silken sheen which does not fade. 

 Hafts are smooth and unmarked and the falls flare jauntily. Named 

 for Dr. Kleinsorge who pioneered the brown line in Iris breeding. 

 HM AIS, 1961. 



DOGE OF VENICE (J. Nelson, '65) M. 36" Each $3.00 



This giant ruffled deep purple matches exactly the shade designated 

 as "Doge Purple" in the Wilson color chart. There is no other color 

 nor markings in the broad petaled flowers, except for the heavy 

 brown beard, which adds depth and richness. Well branched. HM 

 AIS, 1966. See page 15. 



DOT & DASH (Hall, '60) EM. 33" Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Almost solidly colored blackish violet standards and bright falls of 

 pure white with blackish margins. Most of the peppery effect is con- 

 fined to the outer area of the falls. The beards are inconspicuous. 

 Flowers are waved and flaring, well spaced on good branches, and 

 are produced in great profusion. HM AIS, 1960; AM, 1962. See page 36. 



DOTTED SWISS (Sass, '56) EM. 36" Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



The ground color is sparkling white and the dots and stitchings are 

 decidedly blue, the very large flowers elegantly ruffled. It truly lives 

 up to its name. Very well branched, blooms early. HM AIS, 1956; 

 AM, 1958. 



DREAM SPUN (Gibson, '62) ML. 38" Each $2.00 



A blend of pinkish amethyst on white ground, actually a plicata, 

 of course, but with a less definite pattern than is usually associated 

 with the term. The central area and the style-arms glow with a waxy, 

 coppery tint. Beard is light yellow. Both standards and falls are 

 abundantly ample in width, the former erect but nearly closed, waved 

 and ruffled, the latter semi-flaring and likewise heavily ruffled. Shown 

 on page 33. HM AIS, 1963. 



DRESS SUIT (Spence, '68) M. 36" Each $5.00 



This newcomer in darks has standards of silky, deep bluish violet 

 and rich, blue-black falls as lustrous as the coat of a seal. Well 

 rounded in form, with many flowers per stem. Self colored beard. 

 Shown on page 47. 



EDENITE (Plough, '59) EM. 35" Each $2.00 



"Sooty" black with a deep red undertone; a seedling of Sable Night. 

 The uniform blackness of this flower immediately attracts all who 

 see it in the garden. Domed standards and flaring falls. Blooms rather 

 early. HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1961. 



ELEANOR'S PRIDE (Waikins, '56) M. Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



Majestic and beautifully branched, this powder-blue Iris has quality 

 in every detail. A self of soft even tone, the full white beard pro- 

 viding added attractiveness. Falls are wide and flaring, the whole 

 flower nicely ruffled. Blooms in midseason. 36-40 inches tall. HM 

 AIS, 1956; AM, 1958; Dykes Medal in 1961. Shown on page 27. 



"My recent order of Iris came through very well. Was very pleased 

 with the size and quality of the thrifty looking plants."
