ROSE AMETHYST 



THOTMES III (Kleinsorge, '50) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Years ago we introduced Tobacco Road. Since then the Kleinsorge 

 "browns" have become known and grown the world over . . . deep 

 browns, pale tans, sultry blends in many hues. This one is medium 

 light in tone, a smooth self of glistening golden tan with a light 

 bronze beard. It is a gigantic Iris with extra broad falls and heavy 

 texture. 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1951; AM, 1953. One of the "Five 

 Iris of the Year" for 1959. Shown on page 16. 



THREE OAKS (Whiting, '43) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



This massive rose-pink blend opened the eyes of all the judges last 

 season. Huge in size, beautifully blended tones of rose-pink and cop- 

 per, and on very tall stems. Lasts over an extra long period. Height 

 40 inches. HM AIS, 1945; AM, 1949. 



TOAST AN' HONEY (Kle insorge, '53) Each $3.00 



An altogether different tan and brown Iris from the originator of 

 such tilings as San Antone and Thotmes III. A full and generously 

 proportioned flower, with wide segments, the falls flaring and waved 

 at the edges. General color is rich light golden brown, like butter and 

 honey, and the falls are shaded deeper toast-brown, especially on the 

 edges and near the hafts. It is of stocky build, well branched, with 

 very large blooms produced on 32-inch stems. HM AIS, 1955. See 

 page 13. 



TOP FAVORITE (Schreiner, '57) 



Each $5.00 



Colossal orchid-pink, derived from Pink 

 Plume and Pathfinder. The beard is white 

 and there is a soft overlay of amber-buff 

 at the center of the flower. Color is clear 

 and bright and the blossoms are ideally 

 formed, flaring and ruffled at the outer 

 edges. It is tall, strong and branched to 

 perfection. HM AIS, 1957. 



TOP FLIGHT (Hall, '53) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A more deeply colored Temple Bells, more 

 apricot than yellow. Standards and falls 

 are practically the same shade but the 

 beard is fiery orange-red and very thick 

 and heavy. Many visitors prefer it over 

 Temple Bells. Height 34 inches. HM AIS, 

 1953; AM, 1955. Illustrated on page 26. 



TOP HAT (Schreiner, '54) Each $1.50 



Imagine Black Forest on a 40-inch stem, 

 fully twice as large, and you have Top Hat! 

 A sultry black self, with harmonious beard 

 and smooth haft. HM AIS, 1954. 



TOTAL ECLIPSE (Fay, '56) Each $5.00 



A very large and tall blue-black with a 

 beard which is almost black, tipped in light 

 blue. This and Black Hills, the parent, will 

 reach a height of almost four feet and pro- 

 duce 10 or more flowers per main stem. 

 Fine form, good substance and no haft 

 marks. HM AIS, 1956. 



TOWN TALK (Lapham, '54) Each $3.50 



A really large flower of dull flame-red with 

 smooth hafts and a heavy orange beard. 

 The formal style together with the size 

 f immediately attracts attention. 40 inches. 



TRANQUILITY (Fay, '50) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This very large milk-white flower is carried 

 on perfectly branched, strong stems 38 

 inches tall. The haft is wide and clean and 

 the beard is white. Some judges regard it 

 as the best of all whites. HM AIS, 1950; 

 AM, 1953. 



TRANQUIL MOON (Cook, '48) 



Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



A most novel thing with light yellow to 

 deep cream standards and silvery white falls 

 bordered the yellow of the standards. Hafts 

 likewise shaded yellow. The falls of this 

 Iris are extra wide and flare out almost flat. 

 Large, thick petaled and sparkling. 36 inch- 

 es tall. HM AIS, 1950. See page 58. 



TRIM (McKee, '56) Each $7.50 



A wonderful new red with an underlay of 

 bronze. The blooms are large and broad in 

 • all their parts, the stalks husky and well 



branched. Plant Pat. No. 1592.' HM"56. 



TRULY YOURS (Fay, '49) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



The heart of this spectacular creation is bright yellow, shading off to 

 almost white at the top of the standards and the bottom of the falls. 

 The entire flower is ruffled and edged in lace, like Chantilly. Unopen- 

 ed buds are yellow, because the under sides of the falls are yellow 

 although faced white on top! Gigantic in size, 38 inches tall; very late. 

 HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951; Dykes Medal. 1953. One of the "Five Iris 

 of the Year" for 1959. Shown on pages 7 and 25. 



ULTRA VIOLET (Buss, '55) Each $3.00 



Serenely beautiful deep violet self of large proportions with domed 

 standards and flaring falls. The beard is violet too, and there is no 

 thinning out of the color at the center. Broad petaled and perfectly 

 supported on sturdy, well branched stalks. 36 inches. 



UTAH CREAM (Muhlestein, '54) Each $6.00 



As luscious as it sounds, delightfully formed, flaring, waved, heavy 

 in texture. Cream is the one color which will combine with and bind 

 together every other hue— reds, blues, yellows, pinks and the greens 

 of the grass and foliage. This one flowers late on 36-inch stems. HM 

 AIS, 1954. 



VALIMAR (Hamblen, '58) Each $10.00 



A newcomer sure to become a great favorite. Derived from Palomino, 

 it is a smooth apricot-pink with a wide nasturtium-red beard. Judges 

 raved over this at the 1958 American Iris Society convention in New 

 York, and so will youl HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1960.
