PALOMINO 



GLITTERING GOLD (Murray, 1955) Each $10.00 



Huge golden orange self, one of the very largest and most im- 

 posing Iris we have ever seen, anywhere! We purchased the 

 stock in 1952 and intended to introduce it the following year, 

 but, while a grand grower in the South, it is slightly tender in 

 cold or wet sections. If you live in the South or an arid section, 

 where it will succeed, you will swear that it should rate a 

 Dykes Medal! HC AIS, 1954. 



GOLDEN PLOVER (Deforest, 7950; Each $5.00 



Very smooth large self, of excellent flaring form, the color 



bright tan a little deeper than golden tan. Quite late, on 

 38-inch stalks. HM AIS, 1951. 



GOLDBEATER (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This is the oft-mentioned yellow of the AIS Bulletins, a solidly 

 colored chrome-yellow self that has invariably drawn praise 

 from judges. It is all yellow, deep and bright, without mark- 

 ings or blendings of any kind and the buds themselves are like 

 gobs of deep yellow paint. A good grower, fast increaser, and 

 will make a glorious garden display. Large flowers, excellent 

 branching. HM AIS, 1945; AM, 1951. 



GOLDEN CROWN Kleinsorge, 1954) Each $20.00 



An absolutely stunning combination of old gold and richest 

 plush-like brownish maroon velvet. Twice as large as Gypsy, 

 more richly colored, and with flaring falls, it bears no resem- 

 blance to such fine variegatas as Staten Island or Spanish 

 Fandango. They are brilliant and lively— Golden Crown is a 

 luxurious combination of elegance and quiet majesty. It is a 

 seedling of Spanish Fandango. 36 inches tall. See page 13. 



GOLDEN RUSSET (Hall, 1946) Each $2.00 



The unusual feature of this flower is its great size. In line with 

 the name, it is golden russet in color— a self. The enormous 

 flowers are 7 inches high and 9 inches wide, with broad hafts. 

 Grows to 40 inches on very heavy stalks. Will evoke manv 

 "ohs" and "ahs" from visitors. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 1952. 



GOLDEN SUNSHINE (Schreiner, 1952) Each $7.50 



Not deep golden, not lemon, but a clean, clear bright yellow 

 of an intermediate tone. This is a big flower with wide petals 

 and lovelv form— "soft as sunshine on a spring dav!" 38 inches. 

 See page 17. HM AIS, 1954. 



GOLD RUFFLES (Muhlestein, 1947) Each $1.50 



Ruffled and fluted. Medium yellow with a few deeply colored 

 lines near the haft. Heavy texture, with vigorous, husky stems 

 and bold foliage. The originator says it produces remarkable 

 seedlings. Over three feet tall. HM AIS. 1948. 



GOLD SOVEREIGN (Whiting, 1950) Each $2.00 



Richest orange-yellow, deeper and more golden than Ola Kala. 

 Flowers of medium size, stems about 34 inches tall, produced 

 in profusion. Plant it near a blue spruce or any light blue 

 flower for stunning effect! AM, 1953. 



GOOD NEWS (Kleinsorge, 1946) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Brilliant mustard-gold self. A much ruffled flower with im- 

 mense wide standards, nicely domed. Falls are exactly the 

 same color, with narrow band of copper shading near the outer 

 edges. A sister seedling of Chamois and Bryce Canyon, not 

 quite as tall as either of these, but about 33 inches in height 

 and a profuse bloomer. Illustrated in color on page 45. 

 HM AIS, 1947. 



GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge, 1941) Each 60c ; 3 for $1.50 



An odd blend of rather deep tones of plum and copper, and 

 gold. Entirely different from any Iris we have ever introduced, 

 it is an Iris to be admired at close range and is especially suited 

 to bringing indoors and associating with Oriental rugs. At- 

 tractively formed and delicately ruffled. About 40 inches tall, 

 perfectly branched, and it flowers over a very long season. Very 

 large, it is accurately shown in color on page 37. HM AIS. 

 1943; AM, 1944. 



GREAT LAKES (Cousins, J938J Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A clear blue self, produced in Canada by Lyman Cousins, 

 of London, Ontario. A broadly spreading regal type of flower, 

 with handsome foliage and 4-foot stalks, ideally branched. 

 Look at its record; HM AIS. 1939; AM, 1940; Dykes Medal, 

 1942; No. 1 in the AIS judge's symposium for four successive 

 years and among the first ten for eleven years! 



GYPSY (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each 60c ; 3 for $1.50 



Coppery gold standards and falls of solid chestnut-brown, silky 

 rather than velvety. A very late Iris that brings something new 

 into the variegata field. There is such a contrast in the stand- 

 ards and falls, the latter decidedly rounded and uniformly 

 brown without haft markings, that it commands immediate 

 attention. 4-foot stems, lots of flowers. HM AIS, 1945. See 

 page 36.
