EVELYN BYE (Kleinsorge, 1956) Each $20.00 



Shown on the back cover of this catalog ... A very 

 lovely harmony of cocoa, blue, violet and old gold. 

 Something different in the family of delightful blends 

 from this master hybridizer of elusive tints. Falls 

 are especially wide, flaring, and are slightly ruffled. 

 Large flowers; height 35 inches. This Iris is named 

 for our secretary, known by visitors from far and 

 near these past 15 years. 



PRINCE OF MONACO (Kleinsorge, 1956) Each $20.00 

 A regal flower in two shades of purple, heavily suffused 

 brown on the haft and sporting a rich yellow beard. The 

 standards are brilliant violet-blue, with crinkled appear- 

 ance of a Poppy petal. The broad falls flare out widely 

 and are waved at the edges, a lustrous deep violet-purple 

 which has the appearance of heavy velvet. Stalks are 

 strong and reach almost 4 feet in height. This is one of 

 the most richly hued Iris we have ever introduced and 

 the first one in this combination of colors. 



APPLAUSE (Hall, 1956) Each $15.00 



A color break in the quest for new pinks. This new Iris 

 is not pink ... it is a self of light mauve-lilac with odd 

 markings of violet irregularly spaced on the falls. The flow- 

 ers are large with broad segments, very freely produced 

 on well branched stems, 3 feet tall. A novel flower indi- 

 vidually and a beautiful mass of color.

NUEVO LAREDO (Kleinsorge, 1956) Each $20.00 



This distinct Iris is an odd shade of coppery tan with suf- 

 fusions of violet and brown. It is very large in size, the 

 petals waved and curled in the manner of Cascade Splendor, 

 to which it is related. The growth is vigorous, with tall 

 stems and ideal branching. The picture alongside is a very 

 good likeness. Named for the colorful Mexican town on 

 the Rio Grande. Height 3V2 to 4 feet. 



SWEET REFRAIN (Hall, 1956) Each $20.00 



Here we have an addition to the popular and ever-increas- 

 ing list of new pinks. The picture below speaks for itself, 

 however, and you can see why we selected this as Mr. Hall's 

 best seedling when it first bloomed in 1952. Not only does 

 it have more depth of color than most others introduced 

 up to this time, but it also possesses great width of 

 petals and widely flaring falls. Note the ruffling and 

 swirling of the petals and the deep tangerine-red beard. 

 We think that Sweet Refrain is destined to be 

 one of the most admired of all the pinks. Height 3 

 feet, well branched and above average in size. Seedling 

 No. 52-45.
