GREAT LAKES (Cousins, 1938) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A clear blue self, produced in Canada by Lyman Cousins, of London. 

 Ontario. A broadly spreading regal type of flower, with handsome foliage 

 and 4-foot stalks, ideally branched. Look at its record: HM AIS. 1939; 

 AM, 1940; Dykes Medal. 1942; No. 1 in the AIS judges' symposium for 

 four successive years and among the first ten for ten years! Shown on 

 page 39. 



GYPSY ROSE (Whifing, 1946) Each $3.00 



Rich tapestry-red suffused with a warm glow of copper and a touch of 

 blue in the center of the falls. The blooms are extra large and wide- 

 petaled, with pleasing rounded form. Very tall and vigorous grower. H]\l 

 AIS. 1949. 1. 



GUDRUN (Dykes, 1931) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Heavily textured enonnous while, with petals like those of a Magnolia. 

 A warm or creamy white, with brilliant orange beard and suffusion of 

 gold sprinkling over the entire bloom. Sold very short last year. See page 

 30. 



HARRIET THOREAU (Cook, 1944) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A new and delightful orchid-pink self of indi'viduality and style. Tall and 

 strong stems, the flowers large and of substantial build with color that is 

 clear and bright ; petals slightly waved. Height 38 inches. HM AIS, 1945. 



PROSPECTOR 



Like the gold rush pioneer 

 figure for whom it was 

 named, this nugget of a 

 flower will bring rich re- 

 ward to any garden. It just 

 can't be beaten for color 

 . . . and loads of it! 



GYPSY (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Coppery gold standards and falls of solid chestnut-brown, silky rather 

 than velvety. A very late Iris that brings something new into the varie- 

 gata field. There is such a contrast in the standards and falls, the latter 

 decidedly rounded and uniformly brown without haft markings, that it 

 commands immediate attention. 4-foot stems, lots of flowers. HM AIS, 

 1945. See page 14. 



HEATHER ROSE (Hall, 1950) Each $7.50 



This is a large rosy orchid-pink, but of a different shade from any Iris we 

 have seen. The color is new, pleasing and very close to that of Scotch 

 heather. Form, stem and branching are all good. It is a vigorous grower, 

 hardy and blooms freely. A fine Iris in every way and brings a bit of new 

 color to the garden. Courtier is one parent. HM AIS, 1951.
