Orange Parade $3.50 



High Life $3.50 



PALISADES (Plough, '64) EM. 36" Each $5.00 



A new and i'elati\ely unfamiliar addition to the orange ranks. Stand- 

 ards are pink to poppy-red, blending to tangerine-orange at the edges. 

 Fall sare orange with a pink area around the tangerine beard. Early 

 to late. HMAIS, 1966. 



PALO DUROS (Tompkins, '67) ML. 36" Each $7.50 



Here is a new dark, but richly glowing red of giant size, with spread- 

 ing falls, and domed standards. A brilliant and glossy piece of color. 



PALOMINO (Hall, '52) EM. 36" Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



The falls are pale ivory with an amber-copper shoulder and thin 

 band all the way around. Beard is like a bonfire. For size, form, 

 substance, branching and truly mar\elous color, this is indeed su- 

 preme. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954. See page 25. 



PARISIAN BLUE (Schreiner, '65) ML. 40" Each $3.50 



Bright and uniform azure blue without haft markings and of serenely 

 fashioned fonn. With petals of great width and 40-inch stems ideally 

 branched, we think it probably the best of all the Schreiner blues. 

 HM AIS, 1966. 



PATHFINDER (Whifing, '48) M. 36" Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



A big, broad petaled, pearly rose-pink with very heavy substance. 

 Actually a blend, rather than a pink, with some coppery suffusion 

 about the haft and style arms. The beard is yellow. HM AIS, 1948. 

 See page 35. 



PICARDY (Gaulter, '70) M. 36" Each $15.00 



A smoky, light amber-wine self with burnt orange beard. This could 

 also be described as a sort of "ashes of roses" color. Extra large blos- 

 soms, the falls wide and ciiiite horizontal, the standards rufHed and 

 nearly closed at the top. A cjuiet, subdued effect, but the beard adds 

 life. Parentage, Laurie x Sib. 



PINK CHIMES (Hall, '57) EM. 36" Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



This might be termed a "refined" Pink Sensation. The rich pink falls 

 carry a smooth overlay of gold near the base of the standards. There 

 is no veining and the beard is fiery tangerine. Prolific in growth and 

 very free blooming with large flowers. HM AIS, 1957. One of the 

 "Five Iris of the Year" for 1963. See page 30. 



PINK DIVINITY (Tarns, '67) M. 35" Each $10.00 



A self of bright medium pink with a flush of white down the center 

 of the falls and around a vivid red beard. Wide flaring falls. Some- 

 thing new in the field of pinks. HM AIS, 1968. 



PINWHEEL fSc/ire/ner, '62) M. 34" Each $1.00 



Ruby-burgundy on cream, the standards solid burgundy and the 

 starchy, flaring falls cream striated with radiating lines, hence the 

 "pinwheel" effect. Crisp and lively— and different! HM AIS, 1963. 



POMPANO PEACH (Schremer, '63) EM. 36" Each $2.50 



This new peach-apricot blend is especially noteworthy on account of 

 its luscious luminescent quality and lacquered sheen. Large, well 

 formed and frilled. Rather early. HM AIS, 1964. 



PORT ROYAL (Gaulfer, '65) EM. 38" Each $3.50 



A giant gleaming white plicata with vivid blue-violet petal edges. 

 The beard is tipped with blue. Distinct from Rococo, one of the 

 parents, more violet than blue, but with the same ruffling and 

 abundance of huge flowers. Quite early to midseason. HM AIS, 1967. 



PRETTY CAROL (Hamblen, '59) ML. 36" Each $1.50 



Lo\ely rich orchid self with a lighter area in the center of the falls, 

 highlighted by a complementary tangerine beard. The large flowers 

 are broad and fully formed, stalks heavy and well branched, reaching 

 3 feet or more. One of the very best. HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1961. 



PRETTYFIELD (Cook, '59) ML. 36" Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Clean white standards; white falls delicately blended or flushed clear 

 blue around the outer margins. The beard is bright yellow. This may 

 sound like the familiar blue plicata pattern but it is a decidedly 

 different type. Large flowers; 35-inch stems. HM AIS, 1959. 



PRETTY QUADROON (Kleinsorge, '48) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Smooth, metallic, light copper-brown or pale tan, with a hint of 

 lavender and gold. The flowers are of faultless form— wide hafts, 

 spreading falls and large, closed standards. The beard is brown. 

 Height 36 inches. Late midseason. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1950. See 

 page 52. 



PRIMROSE PATH (Framke, '63) EL. 39" Each $2.50 



Perfection in this cool, creamy, greenish yellow or primrose yellow 

 class. Large, velvety and perfect in form. A real beauty and one which, 

 once seen, is not soon forgotten. Very long blooming season. 



PRINCE INDIGO (Schreiner, '64) L. 38" Each $3.00 



Of richest pansy-\iolet hue, uniform in standards, falls and beard, 

 with velvety-like pile on the falls and silken finish in the standards, 

 here is truly an Iris supreme! Tall, generous in size, ideally branched. 

 HM AIS, 1965; AM, 1967. Shown on back cover. 



RADIANT APOGEE (Gibson, '66) M. 36" Each $6.00 



If would be difficult to conjure up a more colorful or "attention 

 getting ' Iris than this. While a member of the plicata line, of course, 

 it is devoid of much in the way of dots and stitches peculiar to its 

 kinfolk. Standards are solid, bright deep yellow, with no markings. 

 Falls are clear white in the center, banded deep gold with some 

 brownish markings high on the haft. Beard is deep orange. Ruffled 

 and well branched. Shown on page 29. HM AIS, 1967; AM, 1969. 



RADIANT LIGHT (Fay, '65) ML. 34" Each $6.00 



Shimmering orange self, with apricot and gold infusions, all lit up 

 with a fiery, deep orange-red beard. Flowers are large and ruffled, 

 the growth vigorous, with good branching. HM AIS, 1966.
