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



A lovely rose and orchid-toned pink, distinctive and quite 

 different in color from the flamingo-pinks. The coloring 

 is smooth and luscious, more vivid than most in this 

 series. Beard is tangerine-red. Beautiful branching, above 

 average size, stout 30-inch stems. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 

 1949 



FATHER RIGNEY (Mission, '56) Each $10.00 



Very large dark violet with violet beard tipped white. 

 High up on the "shoulders", where the standards and 

 falls meet, there is a dark brown blotch which adds in- 

 terest and beauty to this richly colored Iris. It is an ex- 

 ceptionally vigorous grower; tall, straight and well 

 branched. 42 inches. 



FESTOON (Hall, '58) Each $15.00 



A luscious blend of caramel and peach and salmon-pink, 

 with extra heavy beard of tangerine-red. The coloring 

 is positively mouth-watering! Note the crimped and ruf- 

 fled edges of both standards and falls in the picture on 

 page 48— a most attractive feature of this delectable 

 novelty. From pink breeding, it should be a gem for the 

 hybridizer. It is quite early, of good size, well branched 

 on 38-inch stems. 



FIRE BRIGADE (Schreiner, '57) Each $10.00 



Red, and how! Not scarlet, of course, for there simply 

 is no Iris which could rightly be so termed. But this one 

 is about the reddest thing so far in Iris and we think 

 that you will agree. Uniformly colored in both stand- 

 ards and falls, the hafts wide and flaring. Large flowers 

 on stalks a yard high. HM AIS, 1958. 



FIRECRACKER (Hall, '43) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



A glowing bright burgundy-red plicata, with yellow trim. 

 Well named, it is one of the flashiest things in any Iris 

 collection. The fairly large flowers have good substance 

 and are carried on stout 32-inch stems. HM AIS, 1934. 

 Pictured on page 33. 



FIRE DANCE (Fay, '47) Each $1 .00 



A much deeper, richer and taller Firecracker. Fire Dance 

 is a burgundy-red plicata, both standards and falls heavi- 

 ly marked all over with dark wine-red, the ground color 

 buff. Flowers are round and full, the falls flaring. A pro- 

 lific bloomer, 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1947. 



FIRST VIOLET (DeForest, '52) Each $6.00 

 Lovely clear light violet self, the standards, falls 

 and even the beard being of uniform hue. Win- 

 ner of the Dykes Medal in 1956 and illustrated 

 on page 44. 



FLUTED COPPER (Kleinsorge, '57) Each $8.00 



Carrying on the long line of bronze, brown and tan Iris 

 for which the Doctor has become so well known, we are 

 happy to offer this distinct new one in metallic shades 

 of hammered copper. Both the standards and falls are 

 bright coppery tan, curled and crinkled, broad and in 

 good balance. The beard is bronzy orange. Height 34-36 

 inches. Pictured in color on page 43. 



FORTUNE'S GIFT (Mitsch, '55) Each $6.00 



Huge, 7-inch flowers with very wide and spreading falls, a seedling 

 of Cordovan crossed with Inca Chief. The color is deep but bright 

 metallic brown, with bronze beard. 40 inches in height. HM AIS, 

 1956. 



FOXFIRE (Fox, '53) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A grand golden yellow self which was awarded the President's Cup 

 at the American Iris Society convention in 1957 in Memphis. Very 

 free flowering, the large blooms are of perfect form, and glisten with 

 a metallic sheen. 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1953; AM, 1957. 



TOP FLIGHT 



FRONT PAGE (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $5.00 



One of the superb seedlings of Solid Gold, seen and exclaimed over 

 in the Kleinsorge garden since they flowered for the first time. The 

 ground color is deep red-gold, lightening to almost white on the 

 central area of the falls. This is close to the color pattern of Pros- 

 pector but the flower is almost twice that size and over three feet 

 tall. Picture on page 40 is close to the real thing. HM AIS, 1956. 



FROST and FLAME (Hall, '57) Each $12.00 



Mr. Hall has worked for several years in an effort to bring out a 

 faultless white with the tangerine beard so closely associated with 

 the flamingo-pinks. And here we have it! The flowers are large, the 

 stiff stems reach four feet, and the thick petals are as clean and 

 white as a sheet. Every judge who has seen this has been enthusiastic 

 about it. HM AIS, 1957. Illustrated on page 46. 



FRANCES KENT (DeForest, '51) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



The standards are chartreuse-cream with a flush of pink, the falls 

 lighter with a pinkish orange beard. Absolutely outstanding and 

 different. This is surely one of DeForest's best. Falls are almost 

 horizontal and standards are well closed. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 

 1952; AM. 1954. 



FULL REWARD (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $5.00 



Another seedling of Solid Gold and one of the largest and most 

 deeply toned yellows we have ever seen. The falls are exceptionally 

 wide right up to the point where they meet the fully domed stand- 

 ards. Extra good branching and an abundance of blossoms. 3 feet 

 or over. HM AIS, 1956. Color picture on page 44.
