TAHOLAH (Gibson, '56) Each $7.50 



The picture on page 52 will convey a much more complete and 

 accurate description of this new plicata than simple words can tell. 

 We had this big ruffled novelty on trial in our display garden for 

 two seasons before deciding to introduce it. The ground color is 

 creamy ivory, the standards heavily shaded cinnamon-red and the 

 falls are evenly brushed with this same russet-red tint on the haft 

 and at the outer edges. Long lasting, very large, on stout 3-foot 

 stems. The Indian name means "Village bv the Sea." HM AIS, 

 1956; AM, 1958. 



TALLCHIEF (Deforest, '56) Each $4.00 



Bright, richly glowing red self, with brilliant orange beard. By the 

 Ridgeway color chart it is Brazil-red to carmine. A real advance 

 in red Iris, tall, and very well branched. HM AIS, 1957. See page 14. 



TALLY-HO (Hall, '49) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



The upper part of the falls is close to the deep coloring seen in 

 bright fuchsia colored Orchids. The domed standards and lower 

 part of the falls are lighter. This is something new, pleasing and 

 different! The 32-inch stems are stout but a little closely branched 

 for such large flower. HM AIS, 1950. See page 41. 



TEMPLE BELLS (Hall, '52) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Larger and more metallic colored Hi-Time— a sort of apricot-yellow 

 with no peachy undertone. The blooms are extra large, the falls 

 flaring way out and then drooping gracefullv with a slight ruffle. 

 Note the heavy red-orange beard. A seedling of Dolly Varden, 

 considered by Hr. Hall as his finest golden apricot self, 36 

 inches, well branched. HM AIS, 1952. See page 12.

SWEETHEART (Hall, '59) Each $10.00 



A very large "baby-ribbon"-pink self even to the beard. Flower is full with 

 very wide hafts and the petal texture is like satin. The pink beard lends an 

 unusual touch which accents the purity and softness of the deli- 

 cate color. This has been widely used by Mr. Hall in his breeding 

 program. 30 inches. ^^^^
