GOLDEN RUFFLES (Taylor, 1946) Each ^3.00 



In Southern California, where it was produced, this glorious big solid 

 yellow Iris hardly has an equal. It is a consistent winner there in the 

 shows and a clump in the garden is really the last word. We doubt 

 its hardiness in severe climates but in the South and on the Pacific 

 Coast it is superb. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1949. 



GOLDEN RUSSET (Hall, 1946) Each ^3.50 



The unusual feature of this flower is its great size. In line with the 

 name, it is golden russet in color — a self. The enormous flowers are 

 7 inches high and 9 inches wide, wth broad hafts. Grows to 40 inches 

 on very heavy stalks. Will evoke many "ohs" and "ahs" from visitors. 

 HM AIS, 1947. 



GOLDEN SPIKE (Whiting, 1940) Each 50c; 3 for ^1.25 



A very popular deep yellow with stunning rich orange beard. One of 

 the deepest colored of all the yellows, it does not fade, has several 

 flowers open at one time, and is both large and tall. HM AIS, 1940; 

 AM, 1942. 



GOLDEN TREASURE (Schreiner, 1936) 



Each 50c; 3 for ^1,25 



Solid deep cream, but with an outpouring of rich, golden orange all 

 about the central portion of the flower. Tall, perfectly branched, very 

 floriferous, it will stand out in a planting of hundreds of varieties. 

 HM AIS, 1936; AM, 1938. See page 32. 



GOOD NEWS (Kleinsorge, 1946) Each ^2.50 



Brilliant mustard-gold self. A much ruffled flower with immense wide 

 standards, nicely domed. Falls are exactly the same color, with nar- 

 row band of copper shading near the outer edges. A sister seedling 

 of Chamois and Bryce Canyon, not quite as tall as either of these, but 

 about 33 inches in height and a profuse bloomer. Illustrated in color 

 on page 20: HM AIS, 1947. 



GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge, 1941 ) Each 75c; 3 for ^2.00 

 An odd blend of rather deep tones of plum and copper, and gold. 

 Entirely different from any Iris we have ever introduced, it is an Iris 

 to be admired at close range and is especially suited to bringing in- 

 doors and associating with Oriental rugs. Attractively formed and 

 delicately ruffled. About 40 inches tall, perfectly branched, and it 

 flowers over a very long season. Very large, it is accurately shown 

 in color on page 29. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1944. 



GREAT LAKES (Cousins, 1938) Each 75c; 3 for ^2.00 



A clear blue self, produced in Canada by Lyman Cousins, of London, 

 Ontario. A broadly spreading regal type of flower, with handsome 

 foliage and 4-foot stalks, ideally branched. Look at its record: 

 HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1940; Dykes Medal, 1942; No. 1 in the AIS 

 judges' symposium for four successive years and among the first ten 

 for ten years! Shown on page 12. 



GUDRUN (Dykes, 1931) Each 40c; 3 for ^1.00 



Heavily textured enormous white, with petals like those of a Magnolia. 

 A warm or creamy white, with brilliant orange beard and suffusion 

 of gold sprinkling over the entire bloom. Sold very short last year. 

 See page 32. 



GYPSY (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each ^1.00; 3 for ^2.50 



Coppery gold standards and falls of solid chestnut-brown, silky rather 

 than velvety. A very late Iris that brings something new into the 

 variegata field. There is such a contrast in the standards and falls, 

 the latter decidedly rounded and uniformly brown without haft mark- 

 ings, that it commands immediate attention. 4-foot stems, lots of 

 flowers. HM AIS, 1945. See page 31. 



GYPSY ROSE (Whiting, 1946) Each ^4.00 



Rich tapestry-red suffused with a warm glow of copper and a touch 

 of blue in the center of the falls. The blooms are extra large and wide- 

 petaled, with pleasingly rounded form. Very tall and vigorous grower. 

 HM AIS, 1949. 



HARRIET THOREAU (Cook, 1944) Each ^1.00; 3 for ^2.50 



A new and delightful orchid-pink self of individuality and style. 

 Tall and strong stems, the flowers large and of substantial build with 

 color that is clear and bright; petals slightly waved. Height 38 

 inches. HM AIS, 1945. 



HEATHER ROSE (Hall, 1950) Each ^10.00 



This is a large rosy orchid-pink, but of a different shade from any 

 Iris we have seen. The color is new, pleasing and very close to that 

 of Scotch heather. Form, stem and branching are all good. It is a 

 vigorous grower, hardy and blooms freely. A fine Iris in every way 

 and brings a bit of new color to the garden. Courtier is one parent. 



HEIGHO (Craig, 1949) Each ^20.00 



Vigorous and prolific hybrid with fine tall wiry stems 45 inches high, 

 ideally branched. Color is clear Bradley violet, actually a light violet 

 shade of blue-lavender. There is a hint of a signal patch at the tip 

 of the beard. Mr. Craig regards this as one of his greatest accom- 

 plishments. HM AIS, 1949. 



HELEN McGregor (Graves, 1946) Each ^5.00 



Clear pale blue, pure and uniform in color, the sensation of the Iris 

 world the year of its introduction. Of perfect form, flaring and daintily 

 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 all new Irises. 

 HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1948; Dykes Medal, 1949. See page 9. 



HERITAGE (Hall, 1949) Each ^15.00 



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

 outstanding Iris of this color. A nice full petaled flower of heavy 

 substance with slightly ruffled semi-flaring falls and nicely held stand- 

 ards. It's a smooth self with no haft markings and has a bright tan- 

 gerine beard. A sister of Pink Sensation but of a different shade of 

 pink. Shown on page 115 of "The Iris, an Ideal Hardy Perennial." 

 Height 34 inches. HM AIS, 1949. 



HI-TIME (Hall, 1950) Each ^12.00 



A lustrous golden apricot color, called by some a peach-pink although 

 not actually a pink at all. It has a full deep tangerine beard and is 

 a self with no haft markings. The medium large flowers of heavy 

 silky texture have fine form and are carried on 34-inch well branched 

 strong stems. Hi-Time has very dark blue-green foliage that is un- 

 usually resistant to leaf spot; a vigorous grower and free bloomer. 

 It was selected for the Wisley Trial Gardens and a picture of it ap- 

 pears in the 1948 year book of the English Iris Society. The Royal 

 Horticultural Society featured it in color in the November, 1948, issue 

 of its Journal. HM AIS, 1950. 



HIS EXCELLENCY (K. Smith, 1948) Each ^7.50 



One of the few new things in the color and type of the older Louvois. 

 This is taUer and brighter, with tan standards flushed pink and rich 

 brown falls bordered tan. 36 inches. 



HIT PARADE (Hall, 1947) Each ^4.00 



Another flamingo pink, with some ruffling, good form and substance, 

 and a little larger flower than Courtier or Floradora, carried on well- 

 branched 34-inch stems. Color is lighter than Courtier and deeper 

 than Floradora and it has the characteristic tangerine beard. 



HONEYFLOW (Tompkins, 1944) Each ^2.00 



A blend of rose and tan with coppery cast. The flowers are large and 

 excellently formed on 38-inch stems. HM AIS, 1946. 



ILLINOIS (Hall, 1949) Each ^6.00 



A great big creamy yellow, noted for its fine texture and purity of 

 color. The well formed flowers are produced in wonderful profusion 

 on strong 36-inch stems, extra well branched. As either a clump or 

 an individual stalk it attracts all eyes in the garden. HC AIS, 1946; 

 HM, 1950. 



INDIANA NIGHT (Cook, 1942) Each ^1.50 



Lustrous, deepest, richest velvety purple, almost black. The finest and 

 most satisfying dark Iris of a long series of seedlings from the famous 

 Sable. 38-inch stems, well branched, with every good quality desired 

 in an Iris. Midseason and long lasting. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1944. 



INDIAN HILLS (Grant, 1937) Each 40c; 3 for ^1.00 



Rich true purple, more red than blue, with a silky sheen about it 

 that gives it exceptional brilliance. Very large oval-shaped blossoms, 

 a rampant grower and one of the most effective as a garden mass — 

 gloriously vivid. 



INSPIRATION (Stevens, 1937) Each ^1.00 



Brilliant cerise-rose, huge and imposing. This is the only Iris we 

 have in this color — something entirely different and it happens to have 

 all good points. Practically a self, with slightly brownish warm cast 

 on the haft. 



JAKE (Long-Sass, 1943) Each 60c; 3 for ^L50 



A white white, with no other color in it except a trace of pale yellow 

 near the center. Large flowers, well formed, free blooming and an 

 easy grower. Stands right up alongside many more expensive new 

 whites.
