COOL COMFORT (Tompkins, '58) Each $15.00 



A lovely new citron-yellow Iris of large size and delightful form. The 

 broad, heavily substanced petals have a sleek sparkling finish and 

 a hint of lace. This is a self, including the beard, but there is a 

 small, snow-white, green flushed blaze at its tip. A luscious and 

 refreshing flower, certain to please. Rather late, 36 inches tall. 



COPPER HALO (Gibson, '58) Each $20.00 



Here we have a new plicata from the originator of the popular but 

 still scarce Taholah. Illustrated inside the front cover and on page 

 40, it is a creamy white or ivory ground in both standards and falls, 

 heavily peppered and stitched with rosy copper. Mr. Gibson has 

 been producing some first rank plicata seedlings and his Taholah 

 created a sensation. Broad petals, graceful ruffling and thick texture 

 mark this strain and set a new standard for plicata types. Copper 

 Halo is a lively color pattern which blends well in almost any gar- 

 den scheme. Very late. 34-36 inches in height. HM AIS, 1958. 



COPPER MEDALLION (Schreiner, '51 ) Each $1 .00 



This seedling of Bryce Canyon is more coppery toned and less red 

 than its parent— a glittering metallic copper-brown of large size and 

 appealing form. Bronze-vellow beard. 38-inch, well branched stalks. 

 HM AIS, 1953. 



DEEP BLACK (Cook, '55) Each $8.00 



This is the blackest and the "slickest" deep hued Iris we have seen. 

 In the garden of the originator, where thousands of so-called black 

 seedlings have come into being, this was our choice. Height 34-36 

 inches. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1957. Shown on page 6. 



DESERT SONG (Fay, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00

 proportions. Texture is especially heavy and the flowers last a long 

 time in either rain or heat. Stems reach a height of 3V2 feet. HM 

 AIS, 1946; AM, 1949. Shown on page 33. 



DIANEVA (Cook, '53) Each $2.00

 looking and very bright. Height 3 feet. 



DISTANCE (Cook, '46) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00

CAROLINE JANE 



CORDOVAN (Kleinsorge, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00

 leather— a deep coppery oxblood tone, very rich and glossy. Stand- 

 ards are coppery rose-red, the hafts are finely netted with minute 

 webbing and the falls have a distinct frill or ruffle. HM AIS, 1947; 

 AM, 1951. 



CRISPETTE (Schreiner, '54) Each $3.50 



A fluted and waved new deep orchid-pink with rich orange beard

 habit, the coloring having the extra quality of "carrying power" in 

 the garden. 34 inches. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1957. 



DANCING TIGER (Schreiner, '53) Each $3.50 



Here is a very large, jewel-bright, really yellow ground plicata. The 

 half-inch border of penny-brown is deftly cut, as if shot with fine 

 slender lines on the edge of the falls. Gay and brilliant. 38 inches. 



BAZAAR 



DOLLY VARDEN (Hall, '50) Each $2.00 



A very large light pink with a slight overlay of salmon. It is a self 

 with no haft markings, good form and substance, and it takes the 

 sun surprisingly well. Sturdy and well branched on stems of 38 

 inches. Has proven a good parent for large pinks. HM AIS, 1950. 



DREAMCASTLE (Cook, '43) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00
