INCA CHIEF (Mitsch, '52) Each $2.50 



Burnished golden bronze, evenly colored throughout. The ruffled flowers, with 

 very broad hafts, are of immense size and are produced on heavy stalks. This 

 is one of the most talked-about of all recent novelties. Height about 3 feet. 

 HM A1S. 1952; AM, 1954. See page 20. 



INDIANA NIGHT (Cook, '42) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Lustrous, deep, richest velvety purple, almost black. The finest and most 

 satisfying dark Iris of a long series of seedlings from the famous Sable. 38- 

 inch stems, well branched, with every good quality desired in an Iris. Mid- 

 season and long lasting. HM AIS, 1942; AM, 1944. In color on page 36. 



IRMA MELROSE (Deforest, '56) Each $12.00 



Extra large lemon-yellow with faint plicata markings near the beard and 

 throat. Although of unusual size the ruffled flowers are graceful and long last- 

 ing in rain or sun. Stems are very tall but strong and well branched. 38-40 

 inches. HM AIS, 1956. 



JAKE (Long-Sass, '43) Each 60c; 3 for $1 .50 



A white-white, with no other color in it except a trace of pale yellow near the 

 center. Large flowers, well formed, free blooming and an easy grower. Stands 

 right up alongside many more expensive new whites. Shown in the foreground 

 on our front cover. 



JANE PHILLIPS (Graves, '50) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



A new light blue that is deeper in color than Helen McGregor, of which it is 

 a seedling. It resembles its famous parent in form and size but because it 

 carries more color it is distinct and worthy in its own right. We have seen 

 no Iris which appears nearer true blue. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1952. See page 35. 



JULIET (Kleinsorge, '46) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



We think that this is one of the most colorful and fiery blends that we have 

 seen. It is a sort of flame-copper, with salmon shadings, and the beards and 

 central areas are a mass of brilliant burnt orange. Large flowers, the stand- 

 ards upright and well closed, the falls broad and distinctly flaring. Increases 

 fast and makes a gorgeous clump. HM AIS, 1947. 



JUNE BRIDE (Hall, '52) Each $1.50 



The picture on page 30 is not quite right for this luscious, mouth-watering, 

 deep apricot-pink with the heavy geranium-red beard. It is much more pink 

 and less buff than the color plate indicates. Such delectable shades are associ- 

 ated with Tuberous Begonias and Gladioli but we have never seen them in 

 any Iris. Large flower, horizontal falls, 30 inches in height. HM AIS, 1952. 



JUNE MEREDITH (Muhl., '54) Each $10.00 



A complete self of rich, deep pink. In our opinion it is the best pink which 

 this well known hybridizer has produced. Color is uniform in both standards 

 and falls; vivid and alive. Large flowers on 36-inch stems. HM AIS, 1954; AM, 

 1956. Runner-up for the Dykes Medal in 1958. 



JUNE SUNLIGHT (McCormick, '53) Each $3.50 



Another brand new solid golden yellow, quite late, which will crowd 

 any of the very best for first place. The large, smooth flowers have 

 no haft markings. Few plants. HM AIS, 1953. 



KAZAK (Craig, '57) Each $10.00 



A huge full yellow plicata with border of Kazak or near maroon. 

 It's the largest, fullest, finest and brightest flower of this color pat- 

 tern. The wide branched stem is perfect, the flowering period ex- 

 cepionally long and heavy; plant vigor is ideal. Height 36 inches. 



KIKI (Graves, '51) Each $6.00 



From a cross of Helen McGregor and Great Lakes came this mar- 

 velous clear blue of spreading form. Rarely seen but sure to please 

 those looking for clean sparkling color. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1953. 



BEECHLEAF 



LADY ALBRIGHT (Muhlestein, '50) Each $2.00 



A beautiful and brilliant blend, the standards golden copper and 

 the falls deep lavender-rose with an edge to match the standards. 

 Nothing else like it. 36-inch, well branched stems. HM AIS. 1950. 



LAVANESQUE (Sch reiner, '53) Each $2.50 



A winsomely ruffled improvement on Pink Plume. Color is an even 

 shade of delicate orchid-pink, the very broad petals nicely ruffled, 

 the beard and hafts rich gold. This is a very full-bodied flower in 

 all its parts . . . possibly the very finest of all the orchid or lilac- 

 purple. 40 inches tall. HM AIS. 1955. 



LADY MOHR (Salbach, '44) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A new and altogether different addition to the interesting Wm. Mohr 

 family of Iris, this one brings a color combination previously un- 

 known in the tall bearded group. Standards are oyster-white, huge 

 and slightly fluted, with strong midribs. Falls are pale chartreuse or 

 greenish yellow, with prominent veining. There is a very prominent 

 dark patch surrounding the beard. HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1946. 



LANTANA (Deforest, '54) Each $4.50 



Very brilliant golden tan, flushed with hues of bright violet and 

 blue. As colorful as a Golden Pheasant and, in fact, this would have 

 been a very appropriate name! A large flower with broad oval falls 

 and heavy yellow beard. 42 inches tall. HM AIS, 1956. 



LEADING LADY (lye//, '50) Each $1.00 



A perky and lightly ruffled flower with bright pale yellow standards 

 and creamy white falls edged yellow. A great favorite with all visitors 

 as it makes a stunning clump. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1954. Pictured 

 on page 35. 



LILAC LANE (Whiting, '47) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Pink-toned lilac self, not a pink but a very delicate mauve color of 

 heavy substance. Beard is very pale yellow. There are few, if any, 

 modern Iris which resemble this one in color tone. We regard it as 

 one of the loveliest new things and among Mrs. Whiting's best. 

 Slightly ruffled, very refined in effect, 3 feet tall. HM AIS, 1948; 

 AM, 1951. Pictured on page 15.
