SKY RANGER (Hall, '48) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Very tall— up to 54 inches— this stately and heavily ruffled medium blue 

 dominates the Iris garden. The three-way branched stems open one flower 

 each at a time, excellently spaced. The flowers are large, of very attractive 

 form and good substance. It is so strong and vigorous that it has held up 

 in storms when shorter and smaller varieties have gone down. HM AIS, 

 1949; AM, 1952. 



SOLID GOLD (Kleinsorge, '51) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



The deepest yellow imaginable, without actually being orange rather than 

 yellow. Huge in size, very wide at the haft, ideally formed and supremely 

 branched. Height over 3 feet. It is the parent of Full Reward and Front 

 Page. HM AIS, 1951; AM, 1953. See page 15. 



SOLID MAHOGANY (J. Sass, '44) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This grand new red is one of the finest dark. Irises of recent years. Beauti- 

 fully formed, the color is aptly described by the name. No haft venation 

 and a deep bronze-gold beard accent the richness of the plush-like falls. 

 Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1947. 



SOUTH PACIFIC (Smith, '54) Each $7.50 



Famous light blue, introduced at one hundred dollars per rhizome. Re- 

 garded by many judges as the best of its color, it is perfectly formed, bright 

 and silky, 40 inches tall. The beard is almost white. HM AIS, 1954; AM, 

 1958. 



SPANISH FANDANGO (Kleinsorge, '51) Each $1.50 



A swirling and ruffly affair in brilliant coppery yellow and vivid chestnut- 

 red. Those familiar with the variety Mexico will recognize this as a lively 

 improvement on that popular and distinct Iris. Spanish Fandango is a 

 rampant grower, easily reaching 4 feet, with plenty of good wide branch- 

 ing and lots of big frilled blossoms. All eyes will be upon it! HM AIS, 1952. 



SPANISH PEAKS (Loomis, '47) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



One of the really great new Irises of the day, from the hybridizer who gave 

 the world the famous Elmohr. Spanish Peaks may prove to be the supreme 

 white of all— a pure clean flower of immense proportions. It has everything, 

 including giant size, graceful form, tall stems and perfect branching. HM 

 AIS. 1948; AM, 1950. 



SPOTLIGHT (Schreiner, '52) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



A rich golden orange-yellow of impressive size and stature with wonderful 

 branching and flowers of ideal form. There is a bright patch of white on 

 each fall, just below the beard. Certainly a spotlight in the garden! 40 

 inches. 



SPRING CHARM (Hall, '58) Each $15.00 



Standards are pure bright pink, the falls a sort of buff-pink with heavy 

 reddish beard. This is an exceptionally large Iris, the pteals broad and 

 smoothly tailored, rounded in form and the falls flare gracefully. Very 

 late, over three feet tall, with heavy stalks and large foliage. If you like 

 them big, and still not coarse, you will really go for this one! 



SPRING FESTIVAL (Hall, '58) Each $20.00 



This is shown on the back cover in as nearly exact reproduction as our 

 engravers have ever turned out. It is not a deep shade of pink but is rather 

 a definite appleblossom tint with heavy geranium-red beards. The flowers 

 are very large, faultlessly formed and slightly ruffled. Stems are tall with 

 the blooms widely spaced. It has both character and color of its own which 

 set it apart from such distinguished varieties as May Hall, Lynn Hall and 

 Pink Chimes. Plant growth is robust and it increases rapidly. Height 36 

 to 40 inches. HM AIS, 1958. 



STARSHINE (Wills, '49) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



Subtle pastel shades of cream, buff and muted blue, blended into a pearly 

 combination for those who like soft colors. Falls flare out horizontally and 

 the branching is wide, giving it the reputation as "the Iris of most perfect 

 form." HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. 



STATEN ISLAND (K. Smith, '47) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



Generally regarded as the finest true variegata of all. Standards bright 

 golden yellow, falls velvety red, edged with a very narrow band of gold. 

 38 inches tall. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1951. 



STORM WARNING Schreiner, '53) Each $2.00 



This new "black" has both great size and a 36-inch stalk to set it apart 

 from most of its competitors. The color tends to the red-black rather than 

 the blue-black of many of our other dark ones. A sumptuous sheen and 

 perfect form are added fine qualities. The beard is deep bronze. HM AIS, 

 1954. One of the "five Iris of the year" for 1959. Shown on page 10. 



SUNRAY (Hall, '50) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



A large ruffled light yellow of quite ideal form and extra heavy substance. 

 One parent is the pink Floradora. These pinks give a sheen and brilliance 

 to their offspring rarely found in yellows. The 36-inch stems and branch- 

 ing are excellent. It is a fast increaser, hardy and an outstanding parent for 

 ruffled pinks and yellows. A well grown stem of Sunray is well nigh the 

 perfect Iris. HM AIS, 1951. 



LYNN HALL 



SUNSET BLAZE (Kleinsorge, '48) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



A tall and huge golden flame-salmon blend, almost a red, but 

 with so much of the gold influence in it that it is not really a 

 red Iris. You have seen the sun look much like this just before 

 it sinks over the horizon. Both standards and falls are extra 

 large and the haft and beard are bright golden yellow. A most 

 impressive flower, blooming very early on widely branched 

 stalks reaching 42 inches. Winner of the President's Cup at the 

 AIS convention in 1949. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. Color pic- 

 ture on page 31.
