ORCHID BROCADE (Rudolph, '65) EM. 36" Each $5.00 



Well named, because of its color and the extra heavy texture of the 

 very broad petals. The general color effect is rich orchid-rose, with a 

 slight beige flush. Fine in every vay. HM AIS, 1966; AM, 1968. See 

 at right. 



ORINDA (Gaulfer, '68) ML. 36" Each $9.00 



A crisp, ruffled blend of rose and tan, from the unusual cross of 

 Melodrama and Mademoiselle. This latter parent produced Claudia 

 Rene; which in turn has sired a vast number of Gaulter's best and 

 most distinct things. Orinda has smooth hafts of copper-brown on 

 crisp, wavy falls of rose-lilac; the standards are ruffled and closed, a 

 blend of tan and rose. Beard is orange-brown. HM AIS, 1970. See 

 page 47. 



"I've always been pleased with your fine healthy rhizomes. My 

 collet! ion over the past years are beautiful and the praise is as 

 great au the Iris. It is a pleasure to deal with you and thanks 

 again for J^e bonus gifts."

OUT YONDER {"^izkersham, '69) Each $10.00 



We like this best of all we have seen of this type . . . pale blue- 

 almost white— standards and solid indigo blue falls with a slight 

 violet cast. A bit of this deeper color extends part way upward along 

 the mid-ribs of the standards. Beard is white, tipped pale yellow. 

 Perfect form, with domed standards and wide, flaring, wavy falls. 

 Fairly late, lots of large flowers on 36-inch stems, well branched.

PACIFICA (J. Nelson, '68) M. 36" Each $8.00 



This gigantic French blue with darker lavender-violet shading in 

 the central area is derived from (Demetria x French Flair) x High 

 Above. The falls are extremely wide and stand out almost horizon- 

 tally. Beard is pale yellow tipped light blue. The great, flat falls 

 summon up thoughts of a Japanese Iris and the color is a lovely 

 symphony of pastel blues and violets. Many flowers to the 3-foot stalks. 



PACIFIC PANORAMA CSexfon, '60) M. 40" Each $2.00 



.\ spectacular sea-blue self of great-size and imposing carriage. The 

 ruffled flowers are produced on 40-inch, well branched stems. Beard 

 is yellow topped white. HM AIS, 1961; AM, 1963. Dykes Medal 1965.
