HARBOR BLUE (Schreiner, '54) Each $3.00 



This new blue, of startling size, has been winning fame both in this 

 country and abroad. The great flowers are borne on husky stalks 

 reaching almost four feet and they hold up in all kinds of weather 

 HM AIS. 1955; AM, 1957. 



HARVEST SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge, '56) Each $3.50 



A smooth blend of gold and apricot, the standards solid apricot 

 faintly tinted rose, the falls bright old gold shading to apricot near 

 the margins. Beard is orange-yellow. The flowers are well tailored, 

 just slightly waved at the edges of the falls. Substance is thick and 

 the petal surface glistens with myriad golden particles. A clump 

 produces lots of bloom thus making it an ideal variety for mass effect 

 in the garden. 3 feet; midseason. In color on page 14. 



HEATHER ROSE (Hall, '50) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



This is a large rosy orchid-pink, but of a different shade from any 

 Iris we have seen. The color is new, pleasing and very close to that 

 of Scotch Heather. Form, stem and branching are all good. It is a 

 vigorous grower, hardy and blooms freely. A fine Iris in every way 

 and brings a bit of new color to the garden. HM AIS, 1951. 



HELEN COLLINGWOOD (K. Smith, '49) Each $1.50 



A very brilliant Iris in the neglecta class. Standards are light laven- 

 der, the falls bright violet-purple ... a decided contrast. Stalks are 

 40 inches tall, sturdy and vigorous. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1952. Shown 

 on page 21. 



HELEN McGREGOR (Graves, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Clear pale blue, pure and uniform in color, the beard lemon-yellow. 

 Of perfect form, flaring and daintily ruffled, very large, beautifully 

 spaced on nice stems, it is not only supreme as a light blue but 

 ranks as one of the best of modern Irises. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1948; 

 Dykes Medal. 1949. 



HELEN McKENZIE (Groves, '50) Each $1.50 



Pure white, including the beard. This is a "cool" white, without 

 yellow or cream undertone and in some lights it almost exhibits a 

 greenish glow. Perfect form, 3-foot stems. HM AIS, 1950. 



HERITAGE (Hall, '49) Each 75c: 3 for $2.00 



A flamingo-pink of a deeper tone than Hit Parade or Cherie and an 

 outstanding Iris of this color. A nice full petaled flower of heavy 

 substance with slightly ruffled semi-flaring falls and nicely held 

 standards. It's a smooth self with no haft markings and has a bright 

 tangerine beard. A sister of Pink Sensation but is a different shade 

 of pink. Height 34 inches. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. 



HIGH BARBAREE (Tompkins, '58) Each $20.00 



For many years Chet Tompkins has worked with his own strain of 

 reds, hoping to come up with something which would top anything 

 ever produced in this color section. In the new High Barbaree he 

 feels that he has attained that goal. Clean, glossy and rich, it is 

 between currant-red and carmine, on 40-inch stalks. The heavy beard 

 is lemon. HM AIS, 1958. 



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



Another flamingo-pink, with some ruffling, good form and substance, 

 and a little larger flower than Courtier or Floradora, carried on well 

 branched, 34-inch stems. Color is lighter than Courtier and deeper 

 than Floradora and it has the characteristic tangerine beard. 



HALLMARK (Hall, '54) Each $3.50 



A golden apricot or caramel self in the color range of Hi-Time and 

 Melody Lane. This is a very large flower, smoothly finished and 

 gracefully ruffled, the falls extra broad and surmounted by a rich 

 tangerine beard. Height 3 feet, well branched. HM AIS, 1954. 



HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Hall, '52) Each $2.50; 3 for $6.00 



Peer of all the flamingo-pinks to date. It is twice as large as Heritage 

 and much the same shade of pink; deeper in color than Ballerina, 

 much larger and more colorful than Pink Sensation. It has bowled 

 over all who have seen it. Happy Birthday is not just a sumptuous 

 flower ... it has bold foliage, big, heavy stalks, large rhizomes and 

 increases at a rapid rate. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954. 

 Shown in color on page 18. 



HOME FIRES (Lapham, '57) Each $10.00 



Silky chestnut-red-brown, the falls very glossy, and the beard is 

 colored to match. Increases rapidly, forming a clump that resembles 

 a heap of glowing embers. 30 inches. 



HUNTSMAN (Sass, '55) Each $12.50 



This blackish red-brown is seldom seen and is but little known. The 

 ruffled flowers are large and rounded in form, self colored, the beard 

 deep bronze. There are no markings on the falls. Medium height, 

 to 30 inches. HM AIS, 1955. 



ICE CARNIVAL (Watkins, '54) Each $6.00 



Standards are pale azure-blue, the falls white. A frilled and ruffled 

 flower of great charm and unusual color combination, derived from 

 the lovely blue Jane Phillips. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1954. 



HAPPY WANDERER (Lapham, '57) Each $10.00 



A clear tapestry red self with clean, smooth hafts and a dark orange 

 beard. This is the largest red Iris we have seen. Both standards and 

 falls are full, well rounded and the shade of red is vibrant and glow- 

 ing. Our illustration on page 43 is a factual likeness of this grand 

 flower. Height 36 inches. 



ILLUSTRIOUS (Hall, '53) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Our latest blue Iris, coming into flower with such late varieties as 

 Extravaganza and Garden Glory. Blossoms are of very large size, 

 uniform rich deep blue— almost indigo— and a clump is a wonderful 

 sight. The smooth haft is brownish and the beard is inconspicuous. 

 Widely branched, three feet tall.
