OLD PARCHMENT (Kleinsorge, 1939 J 



Each 50c; 3 for .^1.25 



Liglit creamy tan. with golden buff overlay; a most unusual color 

 break and a distinctly beautiful new Iris. Standards are domed and 

 closed; falls wide and rather tailored in appearance. A perfectly huge 

 bloom, heavy in sui)stance. and the longest lasting variety in our gar- 

 den. HM AIS. 1940; AM, 1941. .See page 33. 



OPAL CLOUD (Kleinsorge, 1949) Each ^5.00 



A huge blend of pinkish opalescent tints. Not a pink Iris, but a 

 harmony of pearl and opal and soft rose with coppery shading near 

 the border of the falls. This copper suffusion is present near the hafts 

 and the crests are copper colored. The over-all effect is a sort of 

 terra-cotta-pink with pale violet suffusions. Cascade Splendor crossed 

 with Daybreak. 42 inches tall and very well branched. 



ORANGEMAN (Waters, 1946) Each ^3.00 



A lovely huge orange self with a touch of deeper orange at the 

 haft. The flower has a wonderfully smooth, well groomed look ; the 

 coloring is even and rich. The tall stems. 40 inches high, are very 

 well branched. An outstanding Iris in a much sought after color. 

 HM AIS, 1947. 



Spanish Peaks 



ORELIO (Deforest, 1947) Each $4.00 



Deep crimson-brown, more red than brown. Obtained from Casa 

 Morena crossed with Garden Flame, which will convey some idea as 

 to the color of this rich new Iris. It is large, tall and well branched. 

 HM AIS, 1948. 



ORMOHR (Kleinsorge, 1937) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



One of the largest Irises in existence, and especially noteworthy be- 

 cause it is a seedling of Wm. Mohr. It reaches 40 inches in height, 

 with several great bloonis on well-branched stalks. The color is pale 

 lilac with a silvery cast, veined violet. Darker when first opening and 

 in dull weather. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1940. 



PAILLASSE (Cayeux) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



A French introduction resembling in some ways the popular Marquita, 

 but with more cinnamon-rose color in the falls and considerable of 

 this tint blended in the standards. The ground color is deep cream. 

 A really different Iris and a good grower and free bloomer; seldom 

 seen. 



PALE DAWN (Fay, 1947) Each $3.50 



Palest light blue, a bit bluer than white. Large and full petaled, the 

 wide falls flaring broadly on well branched 40-inch stalks. It does 

 not fade and produces an abundance of flowers. 



PALE PRIMROSE (Whiting, 1946) Each $1.00 



A late, cool primrose-yellow with a touch of wax-yellow at the haft. 

 Of an attractive and useful color, the form of this Iris is its real 

 distinctive feature. It is oval, with standards closed and swirled at 

 the top; the falls are long but so wide they nearly touch each other, 

 the effect is of a huge yellow rosebud. Very latie, high branched and 

 tall — most effective in back of a planting. HM AIS, 1950. 



PATRICE (Deforest, 1945) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



New white plicata which we like very much and which we regard as 

 different from the many others listed. Standards light cream flushed 

 pale rosy lavender; falls sparkling white brushed bright gold across 

 the haft which is speckled rose-brown. Refined, clean and very bril- 

 liant. Tall and large, with all good points. HM AIS, 1946. See 

 page 19. 



PEACHBLOW (H. Sass, 1943) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A pinkish plicata with yellow ground, illustrated perfectly in color 

 plate. This Iris has the remarkable faculty of "carrying power" and 

 its pinkiness accents any spot where it is planted. Oval-shaped blooms 

 on tall stems, nicely branched. Rapid increaser. See color plate on 

 page 29. 



PIERRE MENARD (F aught, 1948) Each $15.00 



Finest of the new medium toned blues. The introducer calls it a 

 Hyacinth-blue, with some of the fine netting in slightly deeper shade 

 that distinguishes Great Lakes. Beard is canary-yellow. Very flaring 

 in form, large and with broad segments, 36 to 40 inches tall. A very, 

 very blue Iris. HM AIS. 1948; AM, 1950. 



PINK BOUNTIFUL (Cook, 1949) Each $8.00 



Selected as the largest and best of all the orchid-pinks raised by Paul 

 Cook. Large, perfectly formed flowers with broad petals, smooth satiny 

 texture and very hea\'y substance. Not to be compared with the 

 flamingo pinks, it approaches this color from the orchid side and 

 is in the range of Harriet Thoreau and Dreamcastle. Husky in growth 

 and extremely floriferous, 38 to 40' inches tall. A very beautiful Iris! 



PINK CAMEO (Fay, 1946) Each $3.00 



One of the new series of "flamingo" pinks — a true pink devoid of 

 violet influence — the kind of pink Iris we have all been wishing to 

 see. Color is described as pale cameo-pink, a self, with a startling 

 tangerine beard, like a tongue of flame on the hafts. An Iris of good 

 size, 3 feet in height. HM AIS, 1946 ; AM, 1948. 



PINK FORMAL (Muhlestein, 1949) Each $20.00 



A new deep pink which is conceded to be sensational. It is large in 

 size and very tall, with red-tangerine beard. Very few plants for sale. 

 HM AIS, 1949. 



PINK REFLECTION (Cook, 1942) Each $i.00 



Chamois-skin-pink self, a peculiar and enchanting shade unlike any- 

 thing else. There seems to be a fleeting buff undertone. A crisp and 

 clean cut flower, flaring in form, with very heavy texture. The beard 

 is lemon. Height 3 feet; very late. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1944. 



PINK RUFFLES (Smith, 1940) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Solidly colored lilac-pink that might be classed as an intermediate 

 because of its low growth — about 24 to 28 inches. The flowers are 

 self colored and heavily fluted and ruffled, produced in great number. 

 HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1942.
