HAPPY VALLEY (Miess, '50) Each $2.50 



A beautiful, large amethyst or pleroma-violet self with intense 

 orange beard tipped lemon. Heavy substance, delightfully fragrant. 

 A magnificent flower! 40 inches tall. 



HEATHER ROSE (Hall, '50) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



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. HM AIS, 1951. 



HEIGHO (Craig, '49) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



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 

 accomplishments. HM AIS, 1949. 



HELEN COLLINGWOOD (K. Smith, '49) Each $4.00 



A very brilliant Iris in the neglecta class. Standards are light 

 lavender, the falls bright violet-purple ... a decided contrast. Stalks 

 are 40 inches tall, sturdy and vigorous. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1952. 



HELEN McGregor fGraves, '46; Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



Clear pale blue, pure and uniform in color, the beard lemon-yellow. 

 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 modern Irises. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1948; 

 Dykes Medal. 1949. See page 33. 



HERITAGE (Hall, '49) Each $2.50 



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 

 standards. It's a smooth self with no haft markings and has a bright 

 tangerine beard. A sister of Pink Sensation but is a different 

 shade of pink. Height 34 inches. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. 



HI-TIME (Hall, '50) Each $2.00 



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

 although not actually a pink at all. It has a full deep tan- 

 gerine 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 

 verv dark blue-green foliage that is unusually resistant to 

 leaf spot; a vigorous grower and free bloomer. HM AIS, 1950. 



HIT PARADE (Hall, '47) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



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

 substance, and a little larger flower than Courtier or Flora- 

 dora, carried on well branched, 34-inch stems. Color is lighter 

 than Courtier and deeper than Floradora and it has the 

 characteristic tangerine beard. 



HONOR BRIGHT (Deforest, '51) Each $2.00 



A large flowered plicata of spreading form. Chrome-yellow ground 

 with flush of orange and a white patch on the falls. Attractive 

 individually and most effective as a clump. HM AIS, 1951. 



HURRICANE fCra/g, '49j Each $2.50 



An odd but beautiful powder-blue flecked with purplish brown 

 spots. This is an "oncobred" of huge size but it may not be hardv 

 in the North. HM AIS, 1949. 



ILLINOIS (Hall, '49) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



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

 color. The well formed flowers are produced in wonderful pro- 

 fusion 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. 



ILLUSTRIOUS (Hall, '53) Each $3.00 



Our latest blue Iris, coming into flower with such late varieties as 

 Extravaganza and Garden Glory. Blossoms are of very large size, 

 uniform rich deep blue— almost indigo— and a clump is a wonderful 

 sight. The smooth haft is brownish and the beard is inconspicuous. 

 Widely branched, three feet tall. 



DOLLY VARDEN 



INCA CHIEF (Mitch, '52) Each $7.50 



Burnished golden bronze, evenly colored throughout. The ruffled 

 flowers, with very broad hafts, are of immense size and are pro- 

 duced on heavy stalks. This is one of the most talked-about of all 

 recent novelties. Height about 3 feet. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954. 

 See page 22. 



INDIANA NIGHT (Cook, '42) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Lustrous, deep, 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 de- 

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

 AM, 1944. 



INSPIRATION (Stevens, '47) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



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.
