FLORADORA FLOUNCE (Gibson, '64) M. 34 



Each $3.00

 ruffled, a solid, metallic light brown. Falls are extra wide, striated 

 and dotted deep nutmeg on cream, deeper at the margins and the 

 beard is orange. The entire flower is flounced and ruffled. HM AIS, 

 1965. See page 37. 



FLUTED HAVEN (Reynolds, '58) EM. 35" Each $1.50 



A swirly and frilly big white of heavy substance. This bears some 

 resemblance to Celestial Snow but is more on the creamy side. The 

 flaring falls are delightfully fluted. AM, 1962. ^Vi^ner of Rees Cup 

 for "Best White Iris of 1967." 



FLUTED LIME (Noyd, '66) M. 32" Each $5.00 



Greenish tinted chartreuse, standards and falls the same shade but 

 with a white crest at the end of the beard. There is a slightly darker 

 greenish mid-rib. Truly a step in the direction of the "green" Iris. 

 Flowers are large and form is excellent. HM AIS, 1967. 



FUJI'S MANTLE (Schreiner, '66) ML. 35" Each $7.50 



^Vith blue-white standards and flaring falls of white shading to pale 

 blue toward the margins, this flower suggests the classic beauty of 

 snow capped Mt. Fuji in Japan as it rises from the lower haze. HM

GAILY CLAD (J. Nelson, '63) ML. 36" 



Pale blue, the wide falls distinctively marked with canarv yellow hafts 

 and a wide, long tangerine beard. Nothing else just like it. 3-foot 

 stems; three branches. Medium late. HM AIS, 1964. 



GALA GOWN (Corey, '59) M. 36" Each $1.50 



Described as "melon color," a blend of apricot-tan and peach-pink. 

 This is a self, even the beard harmonizing with this lucious but bril- 

 liant tint. Large, rounded and slightly flaring; silky finish. HM AIS, 

 1959. Shown on page 20. 



GAY TRACERY (Gibson, '65) M. 34" Each $6.00 



A smoky amethyst on white, the etching on the falls being quite 

 evenly distributed and the standards flushed rather than dotted or 

 etched with white. The huge bronze style arms are a stunning fea- 

 ture of this slightly sombre but artistically lovely flower. It is wide 

 of petal and heavily fluted and ruffled. Very large. See page 26. 

 HM AIS, 1966. 



GIANT ROSE (Schreiner, '59) ML. 40" Each $2.00

 suring 11 inches, from top to bottom! Color is pleasing shade of 

 lilac-rose with yellow glow at the heart. Beard is bright yellow. The 

 inch-thick stems reach 40 inches. Patent No. 2067. HM AIS, 1961. 



GINGERBREAD CASTLE (Tompkins, '67) ML. 40" Each $7.50 



This is a very tall and very large self of Gingerbread brown, a sister 

 of Starburst but more brown and less "reddish" or orange-brown 

 than the fine variety. Flowers are huge, sleek and glossy. HM AIS, 

 1968. 



"I just had to write and let you know how pleased I 

 am with the Iris I ordered from you. They are all in 

 bloom now and are just breath taking in color and 

 size. People here have never seen such lovely flowers." 



Mrs. Joseph Hix, Gibson City, III. 



GINGERSNAP (Schreiner, '65) ML. 37" Each $7.50 



A new and most worthy Iris in rich and brilliant shades of brown.

 width. Spicy and snappy, with a heavy orange-brown beard. HM 

 AIS, 1966; AM, 1968. See above. 



GLACIER GOLD (Wills, '63) ML. 36" Each $3.50 



This is one of the few varieties with clean white standards and rich, 

 golden yellow falls. The large blooms are full petaled, rather rounded 

 in form and of wax-like substance. 



FOAMING SEAS (Stevens, '60) EM. Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A frothy, ruffly light blue with deeper veins, suggestive of the churn- 

 ing surf against a rocky shore. The beard is bluewhite. Massive flowers, 

 widely spreading in form and freely produced on 3-foot stalks. HM 

 AIS, 1960. 



FRENCH FLAIR (J. Nelson, '61) ML 38" Each $2.00

 flaring form, nicely ruffled. As white as Celestial Snow and with the 

 classic appearance of Cliffs of Dover. 



GOLDEN DELIGHT (E. Smith, '60) EM. 36" Each $2.00 



Surely one of the most outstanding yellows we ha\e seen— large, 

 glittering deep golden yellow, lacy and ruffled in both standards 

 and falls. Even the style arms are fringed. This is from pink breeding. 

 Shown on page 48. 



FRONTIER MARSHALL (Schreiner, '65) EM. 36" Each $3.50 



The answer to a wish for a really big, outstanding red Iris. The color 

 is a uniform shade of crimson lake, the wide petaled flowers devoid of 

 veins and the stems stiff and well branched. HM AIS, 1966; AM, 1968. 

 See back cover. 



FROST and FLAME (Hall, '57) EM. 38" Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



Mr. Hall worked for several years in an elfort to bring out a faultless 

 white with the tangerine beard so closely associated with the flamingo- 

 pinks, .^nd 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. 

 HM AIS, 1957; AM, 1959. See page 24. 



GOLDEN FILIGREE (Gibson, '65) EM. 36" Each $2.50 



Light honey-tan standards which are larger than normal as compared 

 to the size of the falls. Blossoms are hca\ ily laced and crimped, even 

 including the style arms. The broad falls are creamy white, edged 

 with the bright golden tan of the standards and the undersides are 

 also golden flushed with tan. Creates a glittering and sparkling clump 

 of massi\e but delicately fringed and laced blossoms on excellent 

 stems. HM AIS. 1966. See page 26.
