Mod Mode $15.00 



ULTRALURE (Gibson, '68) ML. 34" Each $8.00 



A copper and white plicata, the standards flushed with mulberry 

 and a soft tint of mulberry barely present near the rim of the falls. 

 Petals are decidedly crimped and fluted at the margins. Derived from 

 Wild Ginger, it is less pinkish, and more of a bright copper-brown 

 effect than we have in the parent. Shown on page 41. 



ULTRAPOISE (Noyd, '62) ML. 34" Each $5.00 



Here is something really new and different in yellow. Described as 

 straw yellow with a flush of pink in the standards, the \ery bright 

 reddish tangerine beard glows like fire. Perfectly branched. HM AIS, 

 1963; AM, 1965. Runner-up for Dykes, 1968. 



VALIMAR (Hamblen, '58) ML. 36" Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



Derived from Palomino, it's a smooth apricot-pink with a \vide 

 nasturtium red beard. Judges raved over this at the 1958 American 

 Iris Society Convention in New York, and so will you! HM AIS, 1958; 

 AM, 1960. See page 52. One of the "5 Iris of the Year" for 1965. 



VELVET ROBE (Schreiner, '60) M. 34" Each $2.00 



Well named, a deep but glowing shade of plushy crimson red with 

 golden beard. The haft is solidly colored and petals are lightly rutlled. 

 HM AIS, 1960. See page 52. 



VIOLET HILLS (Deforest, '56) ML. Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



Here is the last word in deep true violet color! The 7-inch flowers 

 shine like taffeta, even on a rainy day, and they will take rain, wind, 

 or sun. Standards, falls and beard are a uniform rich violet-purple, 

 the beard is lightly tipped blue. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1956; AM, 1958. 

 Winner of the President's Cup 1960. See page 34. 



VITAFIRE (Schreiner, '68) M. 34" Each $10.00 



A cherry-rose red with a silky, rather than velvety, finish to the 

 petals. Lovely form, the falls semi-flaring, crisp and ruffled. One of 

 our personal favorites among the newer red Iris. HM AIS, 1969. See 

 above. 



WANDERING RAINBOW (Tompkins, '65) VL. Each $1 0.00 



A shimmering blend of rose, brown, gold and electric blue. This 

 combination of tints is found also in Martel and Royal Tapestry, 

 yet the three are distinct from each other. This one has extra heavy 

 stalks with good branching and reaches 39 inches. HM AIS, 1966.
