COPPER HALO 



VANITY FAIR (Hall, '51) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Clear medium true pink, very smooth and tailored in appear- 

 ance. Near the color of Cherie, perhaps, but really does not re- 

 semble it. This is almost an ideal flamingo-pink Iris, with lots 

 of color, stems at least three feet in height, beautiful form and 

 a very fiery tangerine beard. It is very late. Cherie x Fantasy. 

 HM AIS, 1952. Illustrated on page 20. 



VENGEANCE (Craig, '56) Each $2.50 



This creamy white plicata has delicate lavender stitching or 

 brush marks; the blossoms are large and delicately ruffled. Be- 

 cause it produces so many flowers on its excellent stems and 

 increases so rapidly its value as a garden subject is especially 

 worth-while. 3 feet; early. 



VIOLET HARMONY (Lowry, '52) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Light violet in color, with a lighter patch in the center of the 

 falls. Very large, of elegant form, and nicely ruffled. Winner of 

 the President's Cup in 1953; Dykes Medal, 1957. See page 15. 



VIOLET HILLS (DeForesf, '56) Each $6.00 



Here is the last word in deep true violet color! The 7-inch flow- 

 ers shine like taffeta, even on a rainy day, and they will take 

 rain, wind, or sun. Standards, falls and beard are a uniform rich 

 violet-purple, the beard is lightly tipped blue. We nominate this 

 as the finest Iris of the past three years. 38 inches. HM AIS, 

 1956; AM, 1958. Winner of the President's Cup, 1960. See page 53. 



WATERMELON (Waters, '54) Each $3.00 



A blending of greenish light lemon and deep watermelon-pink 

 ... a cut watermelon not quite ripe. Extra large, with ruffled 

 petals and very heavy substance. HM AIS, 1954. 



WAXING MOON (Fay, '57) Each $7.50 



Round and full petaled very light yellow. Standards, falls and 

 beard are all a uniform shade of soft, wax-like greenish ivory- 

 yellow. Petals are lightly ruffled. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1957; 

 AM, 1960. 



WEDDING BOUQUET (Butirick, '52) Each $2.00 



Looking for a white that has distinction? This ruffled newcomer 

 has chartreuse buds which unfold into gorgeous pure white 

 flowers leaving the unique color of the buds on the under side 

 of the petals. This gives the entire blossom a hint of 

 cool greenish ivory. 35 inches. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 

 1956. 



WENATCHEE KID (Noyd, '58) Each $15.00 

 Large tan, with most striking haft markings of burnt 

 sienna. The effect is that of chocolate-brown on light 

 tan, and there is a greenish midrib line to add 

 further distinction. 34-36 inches; rather late. 



WHIR OF LACE (Schreiner, '58) Each $12.00 



"Fragile as gossamer, lacy as a bridal veil, and snowy 

 as an angel's wing"— so does the introducer describe 

 this exquisite white. It is larger and taller than 

 Queen's Lace, clear white rather than ivory. 34 inches.

WHITE PALOMINO (Hall, '58) Each $6.00 



As the name would indicate, this is an exact replica of the famous 

 Palomino, which was runner-up for the Dykes Medal in 1957, except 

 that it is pure white. It sports the bold tangerine-red beard and cop- 

 pery overlay on the haft, and the standards blend into copper at the 

 base. This glowing, fiery central area is in startling contrast to the 

 otherwise immaculate whiteness of the entire flower. Foliage, stem, 

 size and form of flower duplicates the parent. See page 32. 

 WHITE SPRITE (Cassebeer, '51) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A most distinct snow-white, including the beard. The flowers are 

 delicately ruffled and the broad falls almost touch each other. They 

 flare straight out and the standards appear as a white ruffled ball 

 setting on a white plate. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1952. See page 29. 

 WHOLE CLOTH (Cook, '58) Each $15.00 



This is the first of the series of new style amoenas from the garden 

 of Paul Cook. Standards are pure white, the falls soft medium blue 

 and the beard is practically white. Petals are broad and flaring. Few 

 plants. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1960. 

 WIDE WORLD (Cook, '54) Each $5.00 



A blue and white reverse bicolor of special interest to hy- 

 bridizers. Standards are pale blue deepening at the base. Falls 

 are pure white and the beard is white. Large, spreading falls, 

 on 40-inch stems. HM AIS. 1954.
