TOAST AN' HONEY (Kleinsorge, '53) Each $5.00 



An altogether different tan and brown Iris from the originator of 

 such things as San Antone, Bryce Canyon and Thotmes III. A full 

 and generously proportioned flower, with wide segments, the falls 

 flaring and waved at the edges. General color is rich light golden 

 brown, like butter and honey, and the falls are shaded deeper toast- 

 brown, especially on the edges and near the hafts. It is of stocky 

 build, well branched, with very large blooms produced on 32-inch 

 stems. HM AIS, 1955. See page 42. 



TOPAZ (Wafers, '54) Each $8.00 



Silky brown, with yellow shining through, gives this Iris a brilliance 

 seldom seen in a brown flower. It is non-fading, large, beautifully 

 shaped and of firm substance. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1954. 



TOP FAVORITE (Schreiner, '57) Each $10.00 



Colossal orchid-pink, derived from Pink Plume and Pathfinder. The 

 beard is white and there is a soft overlay of amber-buff at the center 

 of the flower. Color is clear and bright and the blossoms are ideally 

 formed, flaring and ruffled at the outer edges. It is tall, strong and 

 branched to perfection. HM AIS. 1957. 



TOP FLIGHT (Hall, '53) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A more deeply colored Temple Bells (see page 14), more apricot than 

 yellow. Standards and falls are practically the same shade but the 

 beard is fiery orange-red and very thick and heavy. Many visitors 

 prefer it over Temple Bells. Height 34 inches. HM AIS, 1953; 

 AM, 1955. Illustrated on pages 9 and 19. 



TOP HAT (Schreiner, '54) Each $3.00 



Imagine Black Forest on a 40-inch stem, fully twice as large, and 

 you have Top Hat! A sultry black self, with harmonious beard 

 and smooth haft. HM AIS, 1954. 



TOWN TALK (Lapham, '54) Each $7.50 



A really large flower of dull flame-red with smooth hafts and 

 a heavy orange beard. The formal style together witli the size 

 immediately attracts attention. 40 inches. 



TRANQUILITY (Fay, '50) . Each $1 .50 



This very large milk-white flower is carried on perfectly branch- 

 ed, strong stems 38 inches tall. The haft is wide and clean and 

 the beard is white. Some judges regard it as the best of all 

 whites. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1953. 



TRANQUIL MOON (Cook, '48) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A most novel thing with light yellow to deep cream standards 

 and silvery white falls bordered the yellow of the standards. 

 Hafts likewise shaded yellow. The falls of this Iris are extra 

 wide and flare out almost flat. Large, thick petaled and sparkl- 

 ing. 36 inches tall. HM AIS. 1950. See page 29. 



TRIM (McKee, '56) Each $15.00 



A wonderful new red with an underlay of bronze. The blooms 

 are large and broad in all their parts, the stalks husky and well 

 branched. Plant Pat. No. 1592. 



VANITY FAIR (Hall, '51) Each $3.00 



Clear medium true pink, very smooth and tailored in appearance. 

 Near the color of Cherie, perhaps, but really does not resemble it. 

 This is almost an ideal flamingo-pink Iris, with lots of color, stems 

 at least three feet in height, beautiful form and a very fiery tanger- 

 ine beard. It is very late. Cherie x Fantasy. HM AIS, 1952. Illustrated 

 on page 21. 



VICE-REGAL (Miles, '46) Each 60c; 3 for $1 .50 



Here is one of the most richly colored seedlings we have ever grown. 

 The standards and falls are almost identical in color, but the velvet 

 of the latter makes them appear slightly deeper. Scarcely any haft 

 markings— a supreme shade of glowing bronzy red-purple with 

 bronze beard. 33 inches tall. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 1951. 



VIOLET HARMONY (Lowry, '52) Each $3.50 



Light violet in color, with a lighter patch in the center of the falls. 

 Very large, of elegant form, and nicely ruffled. Winner of the 

 President's Cup in 1953; Dykes Medal, 1957. See page 18. 



VIOLET HILLS (Deforest, '56) Each $17.50 



Here is the last word in deep true violet color! The 7-inch flowers 

 shine like taffeta, even on a rainy day, and they will take rain, wind, 

 or sun. Standards, falls and beard are a uniform rich violet-purple, 

 the beard is lightly tipped blue. We nominate this as the finest Iris of 

 the past three years. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1956; AM, 1958. See page 40. 



TRULY YOURS (Fay, '49) Each $2.50; 3 for $6.00 



The heart of this spectacular creation is bright yellow, shading 

 off to almost white at the top of the standards and the bottom 

 of the falls. The entire flower is ruffled and edged in lace, like 

 Chantilly. Unopened buds are yellow, because the under sides 

 of the falls are yellow although faced white on top! Gigantic 

 in size, 38 inches tall; very late. HM AIS. 1949: AM. 1951: Dvkes 

 Medal, 1953: One of the "Five Iris of the Year" for 1959. Shown 

 on page 9. 



TWENTY GRAND (Norton, '53) Each $1.50 



A cross of Chantilly and Rainbow Room. Standards are glisten- 

 ing yellow, the edges heavily crinkled; falls sort of orchid-lilac 

 color shading to golden tan at the margins. Fringes of the falls 

 are notched and crinkled like Chantilly. The beard is orange. 

 36 inches, well branched. 



ULTRA VIOLET (B uss , '55) Each $5.00 



Serenely beautiful deep violet self of large propor- 

 tions with domed standards and flaring falls. The 

 beard is violet too, and there is no thinning out of 

 the color at the center. Broad petaled and perfectly 

 supported on sturdy, well branched stalks. 36 inches. 



VALIMAR (Hamblen, '58) Each $17.50 



A newcomer sure to become a great favorite. Derived 

 from Palomino, it is a smooth apricot-pink with a 

 wide nasturtium-red beard. Judges raved over this at 

 the 1958 American Iris Society convention in New 

 York, and so will you! HM AIS. 1958.
