GREAT LAKES (Cousins, 19.^8) 



Each 75c; 3 for ^2.00 

 A clear bine self, produced in Canada by Lyman 

 Cousins, of L ondon, Ontario. A broadly spreading 

 regal type of flower, witb handsome foliage and 

 4-foot slalks, ideally branched. Look at its record: 

 HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1940; Dykes Medal. 1942; 

 No. 1 in the AIS judges' symposium for four 

 successive years and among the first ten for nine 

 years! Shown on pape 40. 



GUDRUN (Dykes, 1931 ) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 

 Heavily textured enormous white, with petals like 

 those of a Magnolia. A warm or creamy white, 

 with brilliant orange beard and suffusion of gold 

 sprinkling over the entire bloom. Sold very short 

 last year. See page 34. 



GYPSY (Kleinsorge, 1944) 



Each ^1.50; 3 for ^4.00 



Coppery gold standards and falls of solid chestnut- 

 brown, silky rather than velvety. A vei-y late Iris 

 that brings something new into the Variegala field. 

 There is such a contrast in the standards and falls, 

 the latter decidedly rounded and uniformly brown 

 without haft markings, that it commands imme- 

 diate attention. 4-foot stems, lots of flowers. HM 

 AIS, 1945. See page 37. 



GYPSY BARON (Schreiner, 1942) 



Each ^1.00 



Very deep blue-purple plicata. The flowers are 

 marbled rather than stitched, giving the blossoms 

 a much darker appearance than the usual plicata 

 type. 



GYPSY ROSE (Whiting, 1946) Each ^6.00 

 Rich tapestry-red suffused with a warm glow of 

 copper and a touch of blue in the center of the 

 falls. The blooms are extra large and wide- 

 petaled, with pleasingly rounded form. Very tall 

 and vigorous grower. HM AI.S, 1949. 



HARRIET THOREAU (Cook, 1944) 



Each ^1.50; 3 for ^4.00 



A new and delightful orchid-pink self of indi- 

 viduality and style. Tall and strong stems, the 

 flowers large and of substantial build with color 

 that is clear and bright; petals slightly waved. 

 Height 38 inches. II M ALS, 1945. 



HELEN McGregor (Cmves, 1946) 



Each ^8.00 



Clear pale blue, pure and uniform in color, the 

 sensation of the Iris world the year of its introduc- 

 tion. 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 all 

 new Irises. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1948; Dykes Medal, 1949. See 

 page 8. 



HERITAGE (Hall, 1949) ' Each ^15.00 



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

 outstanding Iris of this color introduced by Hallcroft last year. 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 mark- 

 ings and has a bright tangerine beard. A sister of Pink Sensation 

 but of a different shade of pink. Shown on page 115 of "The Iris, an 

 Ideal Hardy Perennial." Height 34 inches. HM AIS, 1949. 



Pretty Quadroon 



IDANHA (Kleinsorge, 1942) Each 75c; 3 for ^2.00 



This is a tall, pronounced bicolor with apricot-yellow standards and 

 pinky falls. A profuse bloomer on stalks that reach 4 feet, widely 

 and abundantly branched, making it ideal for garden effect — a pink- 

 and-tan picture. Large blooms, lasting over a long period. 



ILLINOIS (Hall, 1949) Each ^10.00 



A great big creamy yellow, noted for its fine texture and purity of 

 color. The well formed flowers are produced in wonderful profusion 

 on strong 36-inch stems, extra well branched. As either a clump or 

 an individual stalk it attracts all eyes in the garden. HC AIS, 1946. 



HIT PARADE (Hall, 1947) Each ^6.00 



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. 



ILLINOIS SUNSHINE (Faught, 1946) Each ^3.00 



A new yellow of great size, deep in general tone but the falls have a 

 slightly lighter central area. Beard is deep yellow. Very tall, widely 

 branched and has increased astonishingly in our garden. HM AIS, 

 1949.
