FLEET ADMIRAL (Tompkins, '64) Each $7.50 



This very late, glossy violet-blue sports a wide and thick beard of 

 brilliant Royal violet. One of the largest, tallest, and surely most 

 outstanding things in this color range. 42-inch stems, splendidly 

 branched. HM AIS, 1965. 



FLORADORA FLOUNCE (Gibson, '64) Each $4.00

 beard is orange. The entire flower is flounced and ruffled. Height 

 34 inches. HM AIS, 1965. See page 31. 



HAWAIIAN BREEZE 



ROMANESQUE 



FLASHING GEM (Gibson, '63) Each $4.00 



Very tall and ver>' large bright yellow with a band of bright rose- 

 purple surrounding each fall. The standards are yellow shading into 

 the same rose-purple trim on the falls. Actually more brilliant than 

 our picture on page 23 seems to portray — but this gives you a fair 

 idea. Note the purple tips on the style arms. Widely branched and 

 blooms over a very long season. 40 inches in height. HM AIS, 1966. 



FLUTED COPPER (Kleinsorge, '57) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Carrs'ing on the long line of bronze, brown and tan Iris for which 

 the Doctor has become so well known, this distinct one is in metal- 

 lic shades of hammered copper. Both the standards and falls are 

 bright coppery tan, curled and crinkled, broad and in good balance. 

 The beard is bronz\' orange. Height 34-36 inches. See page 46. 



FLUTED HAVEN (Reynolds, '58) Each $2.50 



A swirly and frilly big white of heav\' substance. This bears some 

 resemblance to Celestial Snow but is more on the creamy side. The 

 flaring falls are delightfully fluted. Quite earlv; 35 inches. AM, 1962. 

 Winner of Rees Cup for "Best White Iris of 1967." 



FOAMING SEAS (Stevens, '60) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A frothy, ruffly light blue with deeper veins, suggestive of the 

 churning surf against a rocky shore. The beard is bluewhite. Mas- 

 sive flowers, widely spreading in form and freelv produced on 3-foot 

 stalks. HM AIS, 1960. 



FORTUNE'S GIFT (MUsch, '55) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Huge, 7-inch flowers with very wide and spreading falls, a seedling 

 of Cordovan crossed with Inca Chief. The color is deep but bright 

 metallic brown, with bronze beard. 40 inches in height. HM AIS, 

 1956. 



FRENCH FLAIR (J. Nelson, '61) Each $4.00 



Hyacinth blue standards, shading deeper in the mid-ribs; falls 

 lighter in tone, creating an overall French blue effect. Very- tall 

 stalks well branched, and the wide falls flare horizontally. Medium 

 late. HM AIS, 1962. 



FRONTIER MARSHALL (Schreiner, '65) Each $8.00 



The answer to a wish for a really big, outstanding red Iris. The 

 color is a uniform shade of crimson lake, the wide petaled flowers 

 devoid of veins and the stems stiff and well brancned. HM AIS, 

 1966.
