FRESCO (Tompkins, '57) Each $5.00 



A new and very different plicata, gigantic in size and well pro- 

 portioned. Ground color is light burgundy-red, infused ruby. 

 There is a network of gold veining and the edges are heavily 

 stitched. Over all this appears a velvety sheen of black, as if 

 powdered on. 38 inches, rather late. 



FRONT PAGE (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $2.50 



One of the superb seedlings of Solid Gold, seen and exclaimed 

 over in the Kleinsorge garden since they flowered for the first 

 time. The ground color is deep red-gold, lighting to almost white 

 on the central area of the falls. This is close to the color pattern 

 of Prospector but the flower is almost twice that size and over 

 three feet tall. Picture on page 13 is close to the real thing. HM 

 AIS, 1956. 



FROST and FLAME (Hall, '57) Each $7.50 



Mr. Hall has worked for several years in an effort to bring out 

 a faultless white with the tangerine beard so closely associated 

 with the flamingo-pinks. And here we have it! The flowers are 

 large, the stiff stems reach four feet, and the thick petals are as 

 clean and white as a sheet. Every judge who has seen this has 

 been enthusiastic about it. HM AIS, 1957; AM, 1959. Illustrated 

 on page 44. Featured in Life Magazine in 1960. 



FULL REWARD (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $2.50 



Another seedling of Solid Gold and one of the largest and most 

 deeply toned yellows we have ever seen. The falls are exception- 

 ally wide right up to the point where they meet the fully domed 

 standards. Extra good branching and an abundance of blossoms. 

 3 feet or over. HM AIS. 1956. Color picture on page 15. 



FUSILIER (Tompkins, '58) Each $7.50 



A brand new orange-yellow self, including the beard, near to 

 chrome-orange by the color chart. This was outstanding in the 

 Fleur-de-Lis gardens last season and we are glad to offer it as 

 one of the best and newest of all yellows. Large, heavily ruffled, 

 velvety textured. 38 inches 1 . 



GALA FINALE (DeForest, '50) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



Strong, deep yellow, heavily overlaid Indian red and appears 

 from a distance to be red. A fancy and very colorful plicata with 

 great garden value. 36 inches tall. 



GALILEE (Fay, '56) Each $10.00 



Giant medium blue self with a white beard. The color holds in 

 sun or rain and is decidedly blue for an Iris. Mr. Fay has pro- 

 duced some excellent things in blue— such as Bluebird Blue and 

 Butterfly Blue— but this tops them all! HM AIS, 1956; AM, 1958. 



GARDEN GLORY (Whiting, '43) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A pure self of rich Bordeaux-red. This is one of the nearest to 

 true red of any Iris ever flowered in our gardens; pure, deep and 

 rich, with no haft venation whatsoever. Smoothly finished with 

 deep bronze-gold beard. Height 33 inches. HM AIS, 1945; AM, 

 1947. See page 37. 



GARDEN GOLD (Hall, '56) Each $2.00 



Solid, deep chrome-yellow throughout, except for the fiery or- 

 ange-red beard. While the beard is not actually red it is so deep 

 an orange tone as to appear almost red and certainly sets this 

 Iris apart from all other yellows. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1957. 



GAY BORDER (DeForest, '49) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



If you like plicatas and are looking for a new and distinct effect 

 in this line we think you will be pleasantly surprised by this one. 

 The impression is that of a clean white flower bordered and 

 stitched with red. The wide falls have a touch of gold at the 

 haft. Large, tall and well branched. HM AIS, 1949. 



GAY HEAD (Knowlton, '54) Each $2.00 



A true variegata with genuine personality. The standards are 

 clear bright yellow and nicely ruffled; the falls deep maroon 

 with a solid border of clean yellow extending right up to the 

 center of the flower. There are no haft marks. HM AIS, 1954. 

 Bred by Harold Knowlton, recent President of the American 

 Iris Society. 



GAYLORD (Douglas, '50) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



With pure white standards and velvety red-purple falls bordered 

 while, we have a vast improvement on the famous and long 

 popular Wabash. Gaylord is more than twice as large as its 

 predecessor and will soon displace it. 38 inches; late. HM AIS. 

 1949.
