GIANT ROSE (Schreiner, '59) Each $15.00 



Possibly the largest Iris ever introduced, the blooms actually measuring 

 11 inches, from top to bottom! Color is a pleasing shade of lilac-rose 

 with yellow glow at the heart. Beard is bright yellow. The inch-thick 

 stems reach 40 inches. Patent Pending. 



GLITTERING GOLD (Murray, '55) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Huge golden orange self, one of the very largest and most imposing Iris 

 we have ever seen, anywhere! We purchased the stock in 1952 and in- 

 tended to introduce it the following year, but, while a grand grower in 

 the South, it is slightly tender in cold or wet sections. If you live in the 

 South or an arid section, where it will succeed, you will swear that it 

 should rate a Dykes Medal! HC AIS, 1954. 



GOLDEN BLAZE (Mitsch, '56) Each $3.50 



Derived from Inca Chief, a more golden and less brown affair, and with 

 much more life. Very large in size, with heavy texture, producing a mass 

 of bloom. A clump in bloom is a real eye catcher! 34 inches. 



GOLDEN CROWN (Kleinsorge, '54) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



An absolutely stunning combination of old gold and richest plush-like 

 brownish maroon velvet. It is a seedling of Spanish Fandango. 36 inches 

 tall. HM AIS, 1957. See page 27. 



GOLDEN DELIGHT (E. Smith, '60) Each $25.00 



This was one of the surprises among the new things in bloom at the 

 American Iris Society convention last season. It is surely one of the most 

 outstanding yellows we have seen— large, glittering deep golden yellow, 

 lacy and ruffled in both standards and falls. Even the style arms are 

 fringed. This is from pink breeding. 38 inches. 



GOLDEN GARLAND (Hall, '57) Each $5.00 



A veritable giant of a flower, on stalks fully four feet in height, bloom- 

 ing very late in the season. In some ways it resembles Truly Yours, but 

 it is more of a bi-color and a different shade of yellow. Our picture is 

 too light in tone and the actual flower has definite golden yellow stand- 

 ards and almost white falls bordered yellow. The lacework and crimped 

 petals on both standards and falls are exceptional. Here is a real traffic 

 stopper! HM AIS, 1957; AM, 1959. Illustrated on page 36. 



GOLDEN HAWK (K. Smith, '51) Each $3.50 



A new giant yellow self with an almost velvety texture to the petals. 

 The form and carriage are about as near perfect as one could ask for 

 in any Iris and the 38-inch stems are very well branched. HM AIS, 1952. 



GOLDEN RUSSET (Hall, '46) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



The unusual feature of this flower is its great size. In line with the name, 

 it is golden russet in color— a self. The enormous flowers are 7 inches 

 high and 9 inches wide, with broad hafts. Grows to 40 inches tall on 

 very heavy stalks. Golden Russet will evoke many "ohs" and "ahs" from 

 visitors. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 1952. 



GOLDEN SUNSHINE (Schreiner, '52) Each $1.00 



Not deep golden, not lemon, but a clean, clear bright yellow of an 

 intermediate tone. This is a big flower with wide petals and lovely form 

 —"soft as sunshine on a spring day!" 38 inches. HM AIS, 1954; AM, 1956. 



GOLD PIECE (Schreiner, '59) Each $12.00 



Solid golden yellow with conical ruffled standards and very spreading 

 falls, poised as if in full flight. The leathery texture is derived from 

 Inca Chief, a parent. The brilliant Golden Sunshine is also in its breed- 

 ing. 33 inches; midseason. HM AIS, 1959. 



GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge, '41) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



An odd blend of rather deep tones of plum and copper, and gold. En- 

 tirely different from any Iris we have ever introduced, it is an Iris to be 

 admired at close range and is especially suited to bringing indoors and 

 associating with Oriental rugs. Attractively formed and delicately ruffled. 

 About 40 inches tall, perfectly branched, and it flowers over a very long 

 season. Very large, it is accurately shown in color on page 28. HM AIS, 

 1943; AM, 1944. 



GRAND TETON (DeForest, '56) Each $9.00 



One of the largest of all Iris, with 8-inch flowers on 40-inch stalks. Wax- 

 yellow standards, the falls slightly deeper and heavily ruffled. Hafts are 

 broad and the style arms are crinkled like an oncobred. HM AIS, 1957. 



HALLMARK (Hall, '54) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A golden apricot or caramel self in the color range of Hi-Time and 

 Melody Lane. This is a very large flower, smoothly finished and grace- 

 fully ruffled, the falls extra broad and surmounted by a rich tangerine 

 beard. Height 3 feet, well branched. HM AIS, 1954.
