MULBERRY ROSE (Schreiner, '41) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Aptly described by tbc name, this Iris is actually something new and 

 different in coloring. Very tall stems hold the self-colored blooms 

 well aloft, and the branching is good. Most unusual in color, it 

 might be termed a deep pinkish mulberry, strongly shaded brown. 

 The heavy bronze beard is an added asset. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1944. 

 Shown on page 39. 



NEW SHOW (Fay, '46) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



A white Iris which is neither a warm nor a cold white but is as white 

 as new snow. The beard is full and light yellow, adding a great deal 

 of life. This is the only color in the flower, as there are no haft 

 veinings or markings. Stalk is sturdy and well branched, 40 inches 

 tall, the big flowers very much ruffled and flaring. One of the world's 

 best while Irises. HM AIS. 1946; AM, 1948. See page 30. 



NORTHWESTERN (Cook, '51) Each $7.50 



Pure royal purple self, including the haft and beard. Flowers are 

 large, domed, and the wide falls flare gracefully. Many judges re- 

 gard this as the best genuine purple Iris in commerce today. It is a 

 huskv grower and a rapid increaser. Many blooms and wide branch- 

 ing. HM AIS. 1951; AM, 19.53. 



OLA KALA (J. Sass, '43) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Just now we have an abundance of fine deep yellow Irises, but here 

 is one that perhaps outdoes all the others for depth of color and in 

 addition it is heavily ruffled. Medium large flowers on nicely 

 branched, 36-inch stalks. So yellow it is almost on the orange side. 

 HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1945; Dykes Medal, 1948. See page 33. 



ORELIO CDeForesf, M7j Each $1.00 



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

 Morena crossed with Garden Flame, which will con\ey some idea as 

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

 HM AIS, 1948. 



ORIENTAL GLORY (Salbach, '50) Each $5.00 



Stunning, rich red blend, with mahogany standards and falls ma- 

 hogany-brown shading to gold at the haft. The entire center of each 

 fall carries a very brilliant blue blaze. DilTerent and well named. 

 HM AIS, 1952. Shown on page 17. 



PACEMAKER (Lapham, '50) Each $2.50 



I'ossibly the best red Iris of all. Greig Lapiiam, the originator, has 

 spent a score of years breeding reds and this is the finest one we 

 have ever grown. The color is uniform in standards and falls with- 

 out veins on the haft; a warm red tone, on the orange rather than 

 the purple or wine side. The rich beard is bronzy gold. 36 inches 

 in height. HM AIS, 1950. 



PAGAN PRINCESS fDoug/as, '48j Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



Deep pink to rose to velvety fuchsia-red, with tangerine-red beard. 

 The rounded falls are bordered pink, like the standards. Tall, slen- 

 der stems but the flowers are of great size. A good contrast with the 

 "flamingo-pinks." 



PALE PRIMROSE (Whifing, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



.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 great 

 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 yellovv rosebud. Vei7 late, high branched 

 and tall— most effective in back of a planting. HM .'MS, 1950. 



PALOMINO (Hall, '52) Each $10.00 



Related to the pinks it is a seedling of Hi-Time— the only suggestion 

 of pink is in the standards. The falls are pale ivory with an amber- 

 copper shoidder and thin band all the way around. Beard is like a 

 bonfire, rich, redder and more dominant than the illustration on 

 page 23, although this is really a very excellent portrayal of this 

 variety. For size, form, substance, branching and truly marvelous 

 color this is indeed supreme. Height 3 feet. HM .^IS, 1952; AM, 

 1954. 



PARADISE PINK (Lapham, '50) Each $3.00 



A deep pink Iris of great popularity! Rather late, it is deeper in 

 tone than tnost of the Hall "flamingo-pinks" and differs from them 

 somewhat in form. It increases exceptionally fast and makes a clump 

 with remarkable color value in the garden. The thick beard is deep 

 red-orangc. 32 inches. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1952. 



PARTY DRESS (Muhlesfein, '51) Each $3.00 



Charm, personality and quality all wrapped up in one ruffled pink. 

 It is well named— a frilly and most lovely affair in true pink with 

 contrasting tangerine-red beard. Height 34 inches. HM AIS, 1951; 

 AM, 1954. 



PASTELLA CHa//, '53j Each $5.00 



Extra large lavender-rose self, from flamingo-pink parentage. Pas- 

 tella is not a pink, however. It is a luscious shade of lavender with 

 an all over rosy cast, standards and falls the same color. The beard 

 is tangerine-orange. Of medium height and with limited branching, 

 but so outstanding otherwise as to attract attention from all visitors. 



PATHFINDER (Whifing, '48) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A big, broad petaled, pearly rose-pink with very heavy substance. 

 Actually a blend, rather than a pink, with some coppery suffusion 

 about the haft and style arms. The beard is yellow. Height 36 

 inches. HM AIS, 1948, See page 11. 



PATRICE (DeForesf, '45) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



A 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 

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

 See page 32. 



PEACH BROCADE (Hall, '55) Each $10.00 



Clear golden tan self, the falls flaring and slightly waved. Effect 

 is bright old gold. Grows vigorously and makes a beautiful clump 

 of rich color. 34 inches. 



PEG DEBAGH (Craig, '48) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A large derivative of Wm. Mohr borne on 45-50 inch stems when 

 well grown. The full globe-shaped flowers are immense, with 

 broad segments, a clear blue-violet in color. One of the best of 

 Mohr Hybrids with typically oncocyclus traits. 



PIERRE MENARD (Faught, '48) Each $2.00 



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, with broad segments, 36 to 40 inches tall. A very, 

 very late Iris. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1950. Shown on page 10. 



PINK BOUNTIFUL fCoofc, '49j Each $1.50 



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

 Paul Cook. Large, perfectly fomied flowers with broad petals, 

 smooth satiny texture and very heavy substance. Husky in growth 

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

 Iris! HM AIS, 1951. 



PINK BOUQUET (Hall, '53) Each $5.00 



Deep baby-ribbon-pink with deep orange beard. Produces lots of 

 flowers and provides a foamy mound of soft but definite pink. 

 Shown in color on page 18. 



PINK CAMEO (Fay, '46) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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. See page 31. 



PINK FORMAL (Muhlestein, '49) Each $2.00 



Very large, wide petaled deep pink on the salmon side with a deep 

 red tangerine beard. The flowers have a thickness of petal rarely 

 found in pinks and it produces excellent seedlings. HM AIS, 1949; 

 AM, 1951. 



PINK PLUME (Schreiner, '51) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A self colored orchid-pink, large, lighter and more pink than 

 Dreamcastle, which it somewhat resembles. Because of its clean 

 color and extra "carrying power," we think it is one of the best 

 introductions of the past few seasons. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1952; 

 AM, 1954. 



PINK REFLECTION (Cook, '42) Each 75c 



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

 anything 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 SENSATION (David Hall, '48) Each $2.50 



From the garden of the world's foremost breeder of pink Irises we 

 selected this new creation when it first flowered in the spring of 

 1946. True delicate light pink, without any influence of lilac or 

 salmon tones, and sporting the famous tangerine or orange-red 

 beard, it is just the kind of pink Iris you have been wanting. PINK 

 SENSATION is a large flower, full and rounded in form, with 

 laciniated petal edges. Extremely early— one of the very first of the 

 tall bearded to come into flower. Height about 33 inches. HM AIS, 

 1950; AM, 1952. Shown on page 13. 



PINNACLE (Stevens, '49) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



With standards of clear sparkling white and well formed broad falls 

 of clean primrose-yellow this is really something new in Iris. Bred 

 in New Zealand; it is a good grower with perfect branching on 3-foot 

 stems. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. Illustrated on page 13. 



PORT WINE f Sass, '50j Each $5.00 



Deep wine-red standards shot with white, the falls broad and 

 rounded with an almost solid border of wine-purple. The color is 

 sharp and vivid— a qualitv missing in many plicatas with less heavy 

 pattern. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1953.
