HAPPY WANDERER 



PRETTY QUADROON (Kleinsorge, '48) Each $2.00 



Smooth, metallic, light topper-brown or pale tan, with a hint 

 of lavender and gold as an undertone. The flowers are of 

 faultless form— wide hafts, spreading falls and large, closed 

 standards. The beard is brown. It is a color most difficult to 

 describe but it has much more life and attraction than these 

 coppery tans usually provide. Height 33 to 36 inches. HM 

 AIS, 1948; AM, 1950. Pictured on page 12. 



PRINCE OF MONACO (Kleinsorge, '56) Each $10.00 

 A regal flower in two shades of purple, heavily suffused brown 

 on the haft and sporting a rich yellow beard. The standards 

 are brilliant violet-blue, with crinkled appearance of a Poppy 

 petal. The broad falls flare out widely and are waved at the 

 edges, a lustrous deep violet-purple which has the appearance 

 of heavy velvet. Stalks are strong and reach almost 4 feet in 

 height. 



PROSPECTOR (Kleinsorge, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Shown on page 39. Deepest golden yellow— almost an orange— 

 with the falls carrying a bold patch of clean ivory-white. For 

 combined depth of color and brilliance at the same time 

 PROSPECTOR has no equal amongst the yellows. The amply 

 large flowers are produced abundantly; they are well formed 

 with widely flaring falls and closed standards. Height about 

 34 to 36 inches. Of the many first rate yellow Iris available 

 these days there are none quite like this one. HM AIS. 1951; 

 AM, 1953. 



QUECHEE (Knowlton, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A handsome garnet-red self. Standards are cupped, the 

 falls flaring and rounded and the bronze beard is thick 

 and heavy. It is one of the reddest and is an easy grower, 

 producing its brilliant flowers on 36-inch stalks. HM 

 AIS, 1950. 



QUEEN'S TASTE (Douglas, '52) Each $3.00 



Lavender-pink standards with a strong mid-rib. The falls 

 are a blended rose to violet-red. the entire flower full 

 and very large in size. Everyone is attracted to it and 

 wants to know all about it. New and different. HM AIS, 

 1953; AM, 1955. Shown on page 18. 



RADIATION (Hall, '48) Each $1 .00 



A pleasing tone of orchid-pink, the standards and falls the 

 same color, with a remarkable deep tangerine beard and 

 burnt orange glow at the heart. Standards of the large 

 flowers are domed, the falls semi-flaring and very wide. Heavy 

 substance and sturdv growth on 32-inch, well branched stalks. 

 HM AIS, 1948; AM. 1950. 



RAINBOW ROOM (Sass, '46) Each $1.00 



A multi-colored blend with almost all of the tints of the rainbow. Stand- 

 ards yellow to light buff, falls yellowish at the edges, merging into violet 

 and deepening to metallic blue at the end of the beard. Standards are 

 frilled and the falls are nicely ruffled. 3 feet. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 1951. 

 Shown on page 34. 



RAJAH BROOKE (Norfon, '45) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Rich topaz-yellow standards shot with bronze; the falls deep pigeon- 

 blood-red. Haft solidly colored, clear into the throat, giving the flower 

 an extra rich effect. Not brilliant and garish, Rajah Brooke is an Iris 

 in luxurious, subdued hues remindful of an Oriental rug. HM AIS, 

 1946. In color on page 31. 



RANGER (Kleinsorge, '43) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Dark but very bright, almost true crimson-red. A decided self, with 

 long, cone-shaped, closed standards and wide falls of glossy velvet. 

 Bronze-orange beard on a brownish toned haft, with very little ven- 

 ation. One of the last to bloom, a sure producer of flowers and lots of 

 them, with straight stems and fine branching. Very large. 36 inches tall.
