TALLY-HO (Hall, 1949) Each ^12.00 



The upper part of the falls is close to the deep coloring seen in 

 bright fuchsia colored Orchids. The domed standards and lower pari 

 of the falls are lighter. This is something new, pleasing and different ! 

 The 32-inch stems are stout but a little closely branched for such large 

 flowers. It is a wonderful parent — when crossed with clear flamingo- 

 pinks it throws orchid-pinks, golden apricots, and some burgundy 

 shades. It is one of the parents of Heritage. Pink Sensation and 

 others scheduled for introduction. 



THE CAPITOL (Maxwell-Norton, 1945) Each ^2.25 



Combination of gleaming cream-white standards and falls with the 

 most brilliant flame-orange beard and haft. Texture of the petals is 

 Magnolia-like, beautifully formed, and the "house afire" beard lies on 

 the falls like a gorgeous caterpillar. Tall growing and splendidly 

 branched. HM AIS, 1946. Picture on page 16. 



THE RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass, 1937) Ea. 75c; 3 for ^2.00 

 Simply colossal in size, as smooth and heavy as a piece of richest 

 plush. It is deep rosy wine-red, solid at the haft, with a brownish cast 

 near the center; beard rich orange. Not the reddest Iris but the 

 coloring is gorgeously deep and intense. Dykes Medal, 1941. 



THREE CHEERS (Cook, 1945) Each ^4.00 



An amazingly brilliant bicolar similar to Amigo in pattern, but tall — 

 42 inches — and richer and bolder in contrast. Standards blue-white; 

 falls semi-flaring with narrow border like the standards. A Wabash 

 seedling. HM AIS, 1946. 



THREE OAKS (Whiting, 1943) Each ^2.50 



This massive rose-pink blend opened the eyes of all the judges last 

 season. Huge in size, beautifully blended tones of rose-pink and 

 copper, and on very tall stems, it was one of the sensations of our 

 garden. Lasts over an extra long period. Height 40 inches. HM AIS, 

 1945; AM, 1949.
