SILVERTONE (Hall, 1959) 



Each $20.00 



A beautifully proportioned silvery 

 pale blue — almost white — with tan- 

 gerine beard. There is a slight hint 

 of orchid in the color of this very 

 large Iris. As seedling No. 53-32 it 

 was the chief attraction of all visi- 

 tors and was awarded an H.C. cer- 

 tificate in 1954. Everybody wanted 

 to know when it would be ready for 

 introduction. But it bloomed too 

 heavily to provide a sufficient num- 

 ber of plants until this season and 

 so we are now happy to offer it for 

 the first time. It has been used by 

 Mr. Hall to obtain a wide range of 

 seedlings in pale orchid and blue- 

 white tints with tangerine beards. 

 This is a parent of "Step Forward," 

 introduced this year. Heavy stems, 

 36 inches. 



MY HONEYCOMB 



MY HONEYCOMB (Gibson, 1959) Each $25.00 



A molasses and honey blended plicata of great size and ex- 

 cellent branching, embracing the quality of Taholah, one of 

 its parents, in a taller and flashing combination of colors. 

 The adjacent illustration shows what to expect ... a giant 

 Firecracker, deeper, richer and with twice the stem of this 

 fine old favorite. Height 36-38 inches. Seedling No. 29-3EE. 



STEP FORWARD 



(Hall, 1959) Each $20.00 

 Truly a gigantic flower 

 of light layender-blue on 

 imposing stems. Al- 

 though of great size it 

 appears graceful and attractive be- 

 cause of the waved or ruffled extra 

 wide falls. The stalks will reach 38- 

 40 inches and the branching is ideal. 

 Here will be a candidate for first 

 prize in the "largest bloom" class, 

 and a very beautiful one, too. This 

 is an extraordinary Iris in a some- 

 what staid color group. Seedling 

 No. 55-30. 



SWEETHEART (Hall, 1959) Each $20.00 



A very large "baby-ribbon" pink self even to the beard. 

 Flower is full with very wide hafts and the petal texture is 

 like satin. The pink beard lends an unusual touch which 

 accents the purity and softness of the delicate color. This 

 has been widely used by Mr. Hall in his breeding program. 

 Seedling No. 54-30. 30 inches.
