BLOOMING SEASON PAST, READY FOR DIGGING AND SHIPPING TO AMERICA'S GARDENS 



TRANQUIL MOON fCooJc, '48; Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



A most novel thing with light yellow to deep cream standards and 

 silvery white falls bordered the yellow of the standards. Hafts like- 

 wise shaded yellow. The falls of this Iris are extra wide and flare 

 out almost flat, as in Tobacco Road and Ballet Dancer. Large, thick 

 petaled and sparkling. 36 inches tall. HM AIS, 1950. See page 39. 



TRULY YOURS (Fay, '49) Each $7.50 



The heart of this spectacular creation is bright yellow, shading off 

 to almost white at the top of the standards and the bottom of the 

 falls. The entire flower is ruffled and edged in lace, like Chantilly. 

 Unopened buds are yellow, because the under sides of the falls are 

 yellow although faced white on top! Gigantic in size, 38 inches tall; 

 very late. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951; Dykes Medal, 1953. Shown 

 on page 22. 



TWENTY GRAND fNorfon, '53) Each $5.00 



A cross of Chantilly and Rainbow Room. Standards are glistening 

 yellow, the edges heavily crinkled; falls sort of orchid-lilac color 

 shading to golden tan at the margins. Fringes of the falls are 

 notched and crinkled like Chantilly. The beard is orange. 36 

 inches, well branched. 



TWILIGHT SKY (Fay, '49) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A pink of exceptional form and substance with pink buds and red 

 beard. Parentage is Pink Cameo x Floradora. Mr. Fay considers this 

 the best out of hundreds of seedlings raised for clear pinks. It is of 

 lovely form and tailored appearance, a soft, clean, clear pink with 

 red tinged beard. 35 inches tall. HM AIS, 1950. 



VANITY FAIR (Hall, '51) Each $5.00 



Clear medium true pink, very smooth and tailored in appearance. 

 Near the color of Cherie. perhaps, but really does not resemble it. 

 This is almost an ideal flamingo-pink Iris, with lots of color, stems 

 at least three feet in height, beautiful form and a very fiery tan- 

 gerine beard. It is very late. Cherie x Fantasy. HM AIS. 1952. 

 Illustrated on page 17. 



VICE-REGAL (Miles, '46) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Here is one of the most richly colored seedlings we have ever grown. 

 The standards and falls are almost identical in color, but the velvet 

 of the latter makes them appear slightly deeper. Scarcely any haft 

 markings— a supreme shade of glowing bronzy red-purple with 

 bronze beard. 33 inches tall. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 1951. Shown on 

 page 40. 



VOODOO (Kleinsorge, '48) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A very dark combination of rich chocolate-brown standards and 

 blackish red-brown falls, the entire flower crimped and rufifed at 

 the edges. The broad falls are held stiffly horizontal and the wide 

 standards appear close together and erect. Average size, medium 

 height. A very rich piece of color and an abundant bloomer. It is 

 a sister seedling to Pretty Quadroon. Illustrated on page 35. 



WABASH (Williamson, '37) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Pure white standards and rich velvety deep violet falls bordered 

 white— the most striking amoena of all. Very tall, branched above 

 the middle of the stalk with a profusion of large, slightly ruffled 

 blossoms. The color plate on page 40 shows this popular Iris in 

 perfect detail. HM AIS, 1937; AM, 1938. Awarded the Dykes Medal 

 in 1940. 



WEDDING BOUQUET (Buffrick, '52) Each $8.00 



Looking for a white that has distinction? This ruffled newcomer has 

 chartreuse buds which unfold into gorgeous pure white flowers leav- 

 ing the unique color of the buds on the under side of the petals. 

 This gives the entire blossom a hint of cool greenish ivory. 35 

 inches. HM AIS, 1952. 



WELCOME GUEST (Linse, '52) Each $7.50 



This is a zippy, flaring Iris of amber-gold, smooth and lovely. The 

 fine flaring flowers improve with age and hot sun! Somewhere within 

 the color range of Inca Chief, but taller and of different form. 

 38 inches. 



WHISPERS (Linse, '51) Each $2.50 



A soft and lovely colored Iris with ruffled standards of chrome-yellow 

 and flaring falls of amber-white. A reverse amoena with good habits. 

 42 inches tall. HM AIS, 1952. 



WHITE SPRITE CCassebeer, '51 ; Each $3.50 



A brand new and most distinct snow-white, including the beard. 

 The flowers are delicately ruffled and the broad falls almost touch 

 each other. They flare straight out and the standards appear as a 

 white ruffled ball setting on a white plate. 36 inches tall. HM AIS, 

 1952. See page 19. 



WINTER CARNIVAL (Schreiner, '41) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A fine hardy white, bred in Minnesota. Widely flaring falls, snow- 

 white in color, the throat heavily tinted gold. Branching is excellent 

 and the stout stems hold the big blooms well aloft. This is one of 

 our best whites. HM AIS, 1942. 



ZANTHA (Fay, '47) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



A very large deep yellow self, clear and clean, with a rich yellow 

 beard and no haft markings. Perfection in form, tailored and flaring, 

 the 3-foot stems widely branched. This Iris won the President's Cup 

 in 1947. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 1952. 



ZEBRA (Pallida variegafa) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



The only Iris with leaves tipped creamy yellow and green. Excellent 

 for a foliage accent in the border and, as shown on page 46, it lends 

 itself particularly well to some types of flower arrangements. Bears 

 lavender-blue blossoms but its chief value lies in its novel foliage.
