HARVEST SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge, '56) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A smooth blend of gold and apricot, the standards solid apricot 

 faintly tinted rose, the falls bright old gold shading to apricot 

 near the margins. Beard is orange yellow. The flowers are well 

 tailored, just slightly waved at the edges of the falls. Substance 

 is thick and the petal surface glistens with myriad golden par- 

 ticles. A clump produces lots of bloom thus making it an ideal 

 variety for mass effect in the garden. 3 feet; midseason. In color 

 on page 23. 



HEARTBEAT (Lapham, '58) Each $12.50 



Among the vast number of pink Iris now in commerce, this 

 is real unique. Not only is the "La France" shade quite apart 

 from others, but the heavy pink beard extending far down on 

 the falls is unlike any Iris we know. Rare breeding opportunity 

 here! 36 inches; quite late. HM AIS. 1958. 



HELEN COLLINGWOOD (K. Smith, '49) Each $1.50 



A very brilliant Iris in the neglecta class. Standards are light 

 lavender, the falls bright violet-purple ... a decided contrast. 

 Stalks are 40 inches tall, sturdy and vigorous. HM AIS. 1950; 

 AM, 1952. Shown on page 15. 



BEECHLEAF 



HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Hall, '52) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



Peer of all the flamingo-pinks to date. It is twice as large as Heritage and 

 much the same shade of pink; deeper in color than Ballerina, much larger 

 and more colorful than Pink Sensation. It has bowled over all who have 

 seen it. Happy Birthday is not just a sumptuous flower ... it has bold 

 foliage, big, heavy stalks, large rhizomes and increases at a rapid rate. Height 

 3 feet. HM AIS, 1952: AM, 1954. Shown in color on page 20. One of the "5 

 Iris of the Year" in I960. 



HELEN MCGREGOR (Graves, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Clear pale blue, pure and uniform in color, the beard lemon- 

 yellow. Of perfect form, flaring and daintilv ruffled, very large, 

 beautifully spaced on nice stems, it is not only supreme as a 

 light blue but ranks as one of the best of modern Irises. HM 

 AIS. 1946; AM. 1948; Dvkes Medal, 1949. 



HELEN NOVAK (Hinkle, '58) Each $15.00 



A ruffled medium blue of intense color, lovely billowy fullness 

 of form and delightful ruffling. The beard is tipped blue. 

 Great size and 38-inch, nicely branched stalks are additional 

 complements. It is free flowering and a fast increaser. HM AIS, 



HERITAGE (Hall, '49) Each 60c ; 3 for $1.50 



A flamingo-pink of a deeper tone than Hit Parade or Cherie 

 and an outstanding Iris of this color. A nice full petaled flow- 

 er of heavy substance with slightly ruffled semi-flaring falls and 

 nicely held standards. It's a smooth self with no haft markings 

 and has a bright tangerine beard. A sister of Pink Sensation 

 but is a different shade of pink. Height 34 inches. HM AIS, 

 1949; AM, 1951. 



HER LADYSHIP (Palmer, '56) Each $5.00 



If you admire blue Iris you will fall in love with this very 

 large medium blue, remindful of a regal lady with full, semi- 

 flaring skirts. Standards are conical and firmly closed. 36 inches 

 and over in height. HM AIS, 1956. 



HIGH BARBAREE (Tompkins, '58) Each $10.00 



For many years Chet Tompkins has worked with his own strain 

 of reds, hoping to come up with something which would top 

 anything ever produced in this color section. In the new High 

 Barbaree he feels that he has attained that goal. Clean, glossy 

 and rich, it is between currant-red and carmine, on 40-inch 

 stalks. The heavy beard is lemon. HM AIS, 1958. 



HINDU BELLE (Kleinsorge, '60) Each $12.00 



The general color is burnished bronzy tan, with a flush of 

 violet-blue on the falls. Petals are crisp and flaring, the stand- 

 ards erect and closed. This is a heavy producer of flowers and 

 makes a solid clump of color in the garden. Height 34-36 

 inches. 



HAPPY WANDERER (Lapham, '57) Each $6.00 



A clear tapestry-red self with clean, smooth hafts and a dark orange beard. 

 This is the largest red Iris we have seen. Both standards and falls are full, 

 well rounded and the shade of red is vibrant and glowing. Our illustration 

 on page 43 is a factual likeness of this grand flower. Height 36 inches. 



HARBOR BLUE (Schreiner, '54) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



This new blue, of startling size, has been winning fame both in this country 

 and abroad. The great flowers are borne on husky stalks reaching almost 

 four feet and they hold up in all kinds of weather. HM AIS, 1955; AM. 1957.
