FATHER RIGNEY (Mission, '56) Each $3.00 



Very large dark violet with violet beard tipped white. High up on 

 the "shoulders", where the standards and falls meet, there is a dark 

 brown blotch which adds interest and beauty to this richly colored 

 Iris. It is an exceptionally vigorous grower; tall, straight and well 

 branched. 42 inches. 



FESTOON (Hall, '58) Each $6.00 



A luscious blend of caramel and peach and salmon-pink, with extra 

 heavy beard of tangerine-red. The coloring is positively mouth- 

 watering! Note the crimped and ruffled edges of both standards and 

 falls in the picture on page 34— a most attractive feature of this 

 delectable novelty. From pink breeding, it should be a gem for the 

 hybridizer. It is quite early, of good size, well branched on 38-inch 

 stems. HM AIS, 1959. 



FIRE BRIGADE (Schreiner, '57) Each $5.00 



Glowing crimson-red, shapely in form of flower, of good size and 

 36 inches in height. The beard is bronze-orange. Well named, it 

 provides an especially fiery clump of garden color. HM AIS, 1958. 



FIRECRACKER (Hall, '43) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A glowing bright burgundy-red plicata, with yellow trim. Well 

 named, it is one of the flashiest things in any Iris collection. The 

 fairly large flowers have good substance and are carried on stout 

 32-inch stems. HM AIS, 1943. Pictured on page 27. 



FIRE DANCE (Fay, '47) Each $1.00 



A much deeper, richer and taller Firecracker. Fire Dance is a bur- 

 gundy-red plicata, both standards and falls heavily marked all over 

 with dark wine-red, the ground color buff. Flowers are round and 

 full, the falls flaring. A prolific bloomer. 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 

 1947. See page 34. 



FIRST VIOLET (DeForest, '52) Each $3.00 



Lovely clear light violet self, the standards, falls and even the beard 

 being of uniform hue. Winner of Dykes Medal in 1956. 



FLAME KISS (Plough, '58) Each $7.50 



White standards with yellow base, the falls clear yellow set off with 

 a rich tangerine beard. This Iris, with its bright, sharp colors, 

 created quite a stir at the Oklahoma convention of the American 

 Iris Society. 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1959. 



FLUTED COPPER (Kleinsorge, '57) Each $3.50 



Carrying on the long line of bronze, brown and tan Iris for which 

 the Doctor has become so well known, we are happy to offer this 

 distinct new one in metallic shades of hammered copper. Both the 

 standards and falls are bright coppery tan, curled and crinkled, broad 

 and in good balance. The beard is bronzy orange. Height 34-36 inches. 

 Pictured in color on page 8. 



FORTUNE'S GIFT (Mitsch, '55) Each $3.50 



Huge, 7-inch flowers with very wide and spreading falls, a seedling of 

 Cordovan crossed with Inca Chief. The color is deep but bright metallic 

 brown, with bronze beard. 40 inches in height. HM AIS, 1956. 



FORWARD MARCH (Lapham-Wise, '60) Each $12.50 



Deep uniform ruby-crimson with wide and flat flaring falls of velvety 

 texture. There are no haft venations and the dull bronze-yellow beard 

 blends well with the richness and depth of this newcomer to the red 

 fold. 30 inches. 



FOXFIRE (Fox, '53) Each $1.00 



A grand golden yellow self which was awarded the President's Cup at 

 the American Iris Society convention in 1957 in Memphis. Very free 

 flowering, the large blooms are of perfect form, and glisten with a 

 metallic sheen. 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1953; AM, 1957. 



FRANCES CRAIG (Craig, '52) Each $1.50 



A pearly lavender-gray oncobred with immense blooms of perfect form. 

 It is one of the first of the tall bearded to come into flower and lasts 

 well into the season. 40 inches. HM AIS, 1953; AM, 1955. 



FRANCES KENT (DeForest, '51) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



The standards are chartreuse-cream with a flush of pink, the falls lighter 

 with a pinkish orange beard. Absolutely outstanding and different. This 

 is surely one of DeForest's best. Falls are almost horizontal and standards 

 are well closed. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954.
