 season to late. 36 inches. Shown on page 18. HM AIS, 1965.

 placement, on -S-foot stems. See page 32. 



HEAVENLY DAYS (Wickersham, '63) Each $3.00 



Too many blues? Not with the quahty, form, size and crisp clear 

 June sky hue of this one! Standards are wide and upright, prac- 

 tically closed at the top, waved and of heavy substance. The falls

 is free flowering and a fast increaser. HM AIS, 1958. 



HENNA STITCHES (Gibson, '61) Each $1.50 



Well illustrated on page 53. A ver\- bright combination of frostv' 

 white and gleaming henna-copper. The petals are gracefully

 the metallic gleam of the reddish copper margins and stylearms. 

 36 inches. HM AIS, 1962. 



HENRY SHAW (C. Benson, '59) Each $3.00 



A giant white, perfectly proportioned, crimped and ruflBed and with

 or over in height. Late. HM AIS, 1965. Shown on page 57. 



HIGH SIERRA (Gaulfer, '67) Each $20.00 



We have seen a host of white Iris in our time and there are many 

 truly magnificent ones listed in this catalog. This one, however, is 

 so huge, so flawless and so immaculate that after flowering it the 

 past two seasons we think it superior to any white we know. A 

 complete self, medium late. 38-inch stems. HC .AIS, 1966. See 

 page 2. 



IMPERIAL LILAC (Schreiner, '63) Each $5.00

 size and extra heavy in substance. This is one hard to fault and is 

 probably the very best in its color class. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1965. 



IMPERIAL WOMAN (K. Smith, '58) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00

INDIGLOW (Schortman, '59) Each $4.00

 less in form. What more can one ask? Placement on the heavy stalks 

 is ideal and they will reach a height of 40 inches. HM AIS, 1959; 

 AM, 1961. 



IN ORBIT (Gibson, '63) Each $5.00 



A new pattern in plicatas, as regards both the combination of colors 

 and the striking contrast between standards and falls. Standards are 

 waved and fluted, solid tan with a flush of hght violet; the ruffled
