PINK CAMEO 



CONGO 



DEMETRIA (Hinkle, '58) Each $15.00 



Big and beautiful medium blue, slightly ruffled, with a hint of laven- 

 der in the falls. The Hinkle blues— Helen Novak, Symphony, Regina 

 Maria and Demetria— occupy a special niche in the world of top- 

 notch Iris in shades of blue. All are noted for great size, lovely form, 

 breadth of petal and crisp substance. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 

 1960. 



DESERT SONG (Fay, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Cream self, beautifully ruffled with extra large flowers of excellent 

 proportions. Texture is especially heavy and the flowers last a long 

 time in either rain or heat. Stems reach a height of 3Vz feet. HM 

 AIS, 1946; AM, 1949. Shown on page 27. 



DOLLY VARDEN (Hall, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A very large light pink with a slight overlay of salmon. It is a self 

 with no haft markings, good form and substance, and it takes the 

 sun surprisingly well. Sturdy and well branched on stems of 38 inches. 

 Has proven a good parent for large pinks. HM AIS, 1950. 



DOT & DASH (Hall, '60) Each $15.00 



This surprising plicata has been an attraction in both the Hall gar- 

 den and in our own for the past few seasons. It has borne the nick- 

 name of Dave's "Black & White", but was not registered as such. 

 Our illustration is quite accurate, showing the almost solidly colored 

 blackish violet standards and bright falls of pure white with blackish 

 margins. Most of the peppery effect is confined to the outer area of 

 the falls. The beards are inconspicuous. Flowers are waved and flar- 

 ing, well spaced on good branches, and are produced in great pro- 

 fusion. 33-36 inches. HM AIS, 1960. See page 51. 



DOTTED SWISS (Sass, '56) Each $5.00 



Acclaimed by many as the finest of the blue and white plicatas. The 

 ground color is sparkling white and the dots and stitchings are de- 

 cidedly blue, the very large flowers elegantly ruffled. It truly lives up 

 to its name. Over three feet tall, very well branched, blooms early. 

 HM AIS, 1956; AM, 1958.
