LYNN HALL (Hall, '57) Each $6.00 



Since 1953, when this deep pink first bloomed in the 

 Hall garden in Illinois, we have been asked when it 

 would be available. It invariably draws a crowd of ad- 

 mirers. The picture on page 30 is very close to the actual 

 bloom ... a very deep and uniform shade of luscious 

 pink. It flowers freely, is beautifully branched and grows 

 and increases vigorously. 3 feet in height. HM AIS. 1957; 

 AM, 1959. 



MARY RANDALL (Fay, '51) Each $2.50 



This deep rose-pink self, with bright tangerine-red beard 

 is a new color in Iris. The flowers are large and have 

 a thickness of petal seen in few other varieties. Haft is 

 very wide, free from markings. The form of this Iris is 

 near perfection and the flowers are well spaced along a 

 nicely branched, 36-inch stem. Produces wonderful seed- 

 lings. Dykes Medal, 1954. Illustrated on page 11 



MATTIE GATES (Sass, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Exquisite wax-like blossoms with a pronounced sheen. 

 A cool, soft yellow with bright gold on a crisp white 

 heart. A cleaner flower than Golden Fleece, taller and 

 larger than Misty Gold. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1950. 



MAY HALL (Hall, '54) Each $2.50 



In the opinion of Mr. Hall this is the best flamingo-pink 

 he has thus far turned out. The color is clear, clean, and 

 bright, a shade of pink which everyone expects in a 

 flower of this hue. Many spreading blossoms to the stem, 

 good branching, and a vivid beard to set it off. 36 inches 

 tall. HM AIS, 1954; AM, 1956. Shown on page 10. 



FROST AND FLAME 



LOVELY LETTY (Hall, '60) Each $15.00 



Bright violet-blue with very brilliant tangerine beard. 30-32 inches tall, with many 

 flowers. Very flaring falls, standing almost horizontal— a fine feature for an Iris of 

 medium height. Self colored except for the fiery beard. Shown on page 55. 



LUCY LEE (Gibson, '60) Each $15.00 



Clean sparkling white with bright red-violet stitching; of a size and quality that 

 sets a new standard in plicatas of this color combination. The illustration lacks 

 the flash and vividness of the actual flower but it does show the symmetrical form, 

 broad petals and moderate ruffling which are typical. It is very large, the stems 

 tall and fully branched and it produces an abundance of bloom. The beard is 

 light yellow on a gleaming white haft. Height 3 feet. See page 55.

MAY MAGIC (Schreiner, '56) Each $3.50 



A fresh, light hearted, radiant orchid-pink. Not related 

 to nor resembling the flamingo-pinks, it is a frilly edi- 

 tion of the Pink Plume and Lavanesque series. Luscious 

 and delicate, with opalescent hues. HM AIS. 1956. Shown 

 on page 9. 



MAYTIME (Whiting, '50) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Two tones of bright orchid-pink. This is 

 one of Mrs. Whiting's best— a handsomely 

 formed full flower with lots of color. There 

 is a definite contrast in the color of stand- 

 ards and falls, making it a near amoena. 

 36 inches. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1953. Pic- 

 tured on page 23. 



MAZATLAN (Hall, '59) Each $10.00 

 Our picture on page 50 is an excellent like- 

 ness of the flower. Standards are practically 

 snow-white, flushed amber at the base. Falls 

 have a white ground but blend into blue 

 beyond the center. Beard is red-orange on 

 an amber ground. The entire flower is 

 fringed and shirred at the margins. It is 

 from pink breeding but the number is not 

 available. 30-33 inches, well branched. We 

 named it for the exciting fishing re- 

 sort on the West Coast of Mexico, 

 with its white fleecy clouds, blue 

 skies and waters and brilliant sunsets. 



MELODRAMA (Cook, '56) 



Each $15.00 



This new break in Iris breeding has 

 attracted wide attention and stock 

 has been almost unattainable. The standards are pale 

 violet, deepening in tone to the deep lilac of the flaring 

 falls. With its very broad petals and huge size it will be 

 immediately spotted in any planting. 40 inches. HM 

 AIS, 1956; AM, 1958. Runner-up for Dykes Medal. 1960. 

 See page 53. 



MELODY LANE (Hall, '49) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Bright glistening golden apricot, although it came from 

 two flamingo-pink seedlings. The color is most attrac- 

 tive and new. with great carrying power in the garden. 

 Many of these new shades crop out in the offspring from 

 pink parents. The flowers are very large with some ruf- 

 fling, good form and a heavy brilliant tangerine beard. 

 Early with 36-inch stems. HM AIS. 1950; AM, 1952. See 

 page 31.
