MULBERRY ROSE (Schreiner, 1941) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Aptly described by the name, this new Iris is actually some- 

 thing new and different in coloring. Very tall stems hold the 

 self-colored blooms well aloft, and the branching is good. Most 

 unusual in color it might be termed a deep pinkish mulberry, 

 strongly shaded brown. The heavv bronze beard is an added 

 asset. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1944. 



NEW SNOW (Fay, 1946) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A white Iris which is neither a warm nor a cold white but is as 

 white as new snow. The beard is full and light yellow, adding 

 a great deal of life. This is the only color in the flower, as there 

 are no haft veinings or markings. Stalk is sturdy and well 

 branched, 40 inches tall, the big flowers very much ruffled and 

 flaring. One of the world's best white Irises. HM AIS. 1946: 

 AM, 1948. See page 48. 



NORTHWESTERN (Cook, J95J) Each $10.00 



Pure royal purple self, including the haft and beard. Flowers 

 are large, domed, and the wide falls flare gracefully. Many 

 judges regard this as the best genuine purple Iris in commerce 

 today. It is a husky grower and a rapid increaser. Manv blooms 

 and wide branching. HM AIS, 1951; AM, 1953. 



OLA KALA (J. Sass, 1943) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Just now we have an abundance of fine deep yellow Irises, but 

 here is one that perhaps outdoes all the others for depth of 

 color and in addition it is heavily ruffled. Medium large flow- 

 ers on nicelv branched, 36-inch stalks. So yellow it is almost on 

 the orange side. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1945: Dykes Medal, 1948. 

 See page 28. 



OPAL CLOUD (Kleinsorge, 1949) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A huge blend of pinkish opalescent tints. Not a pink Iris, but 

 a harmony of pearl and opal and soft old rose with coppery 

 shading near the border of the falls. This copper suffusion is 

 present near the hafts and the crests are copper colored. The 

 over-all effect is a sort of terra-cotta-pink with violet suffusion. 

 Cascade Splendor crossed with Daybreak. 42 inches tall and 

 very well branched. 



ORANGEMAN (Waters, 1946) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A lovely huge orange self with a touch of deeper orange at the 

 haft. The flower has a wonderfully smooth, well groomed look: 

 the coloring is even and rich. The tall stems, 40 inches high, 

 are verv well branched. An outstanding Iris in a much sought 

 after color. HM AIS, 1947. 



ORELIO (DeForest, 1947) Each $1.00 



Deep crimson-brown, more red than brown. Obtained from 

 Casa Morena crossed with Garden Flame, which will convey 

 some idea as to the color of this rich Iris. It is large, tall and 

 well branched. HM AIS, 1948. See page 36. 



ORIENTAL GLORY (Salbach, 1950) Each $7.50 



Stunning, rich red blend, with mahogany standards and falls 

 mahogany-brown shading to gold at the haft. The entire cen- 

 ter of each fall carries a verv brilliant blue blaze. Different and 

 well named. HM AIS, 1952. 



PACEMAKER (Lapham, 1950) Each $3.00 



Possibly the best red Iris of all. Greig Lapham, the originator, 

 has spent a score of years breeding reds and this is the finest 

 one we have ever grown. The color is uniform in standards and 

 falls without veins on the haft; a warm red tone, on the orange 

 rather than the purple or wine side. The rich beard is bronzy 

 gold. 36 inches in height. HM AIS, 1950. 



PAGAN PRINCESS (Douglas, 1948) Each $2.00 



Deep pink to rose to velvety fuchsia-red, with tangerine-red 

 beard. The rounded falls are bordered pink, like the stand- 

 ards. Tall, slender stems but the flowers are of great size. A 

 good contrast with the "flamingo-pinks." 



PALE PRIMROSE (Whiting, 1946) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



A late, cool primrose-yellow with a touch of wax-yellow at the 

 haft. Of an attractive and useful color, the form of this Iris is 

 its real distinctive feature. It is oval, with standards closed and 

 swirled at the top; the falls are long but so wide they nearly 

 touch each other, the effect is of a huge yellow rosebud. Very 

 late, high branched and tall— most effective in back of a plant- 

 ing. HM AIS, 1950. See page 35. 



PALOMINO (Hall, 1952) Each $12.00 



Related to the pinks it is a seedling of Hi-Time— the only sug- 

 gestion of pink is in the standards. The falls are pale ivory 

 with an amber-copper shoulder and thin band all the way 

 around. Beard is like a bonfire, rich, redder and more dom- 

 inant than the illustration on page 18, although this is really 

 a very excellent portrayal of this variety. For size, form, sub- 

 stance, branching and truly marvelous color this is indeed su- 

 preme. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954. 



PARADISE PINK (Lapham, 1950) Each $5.00 



A deep pink Iris of great popularity! Rather late, it is deeper 

 in tone than most of the Hall "flamingo-pinks" and differs 

 from them somewhat in form. It increases exceptionally fast 

 and makes a clump with remarkable color value in the gar- 

 den. The thick beard is dep red-orange. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 

 1952. 32 inches. 



PASTELLA (Hall, 1953) Each $7.50 



Extra large lavender-rose self, from flamingo-pink parentage. 

 Pastella is not a pink, however. It is a luscious shade of laven- 

 der with an all over rosy cast, standards and falls the same 

 color. The beard is tangerine-orange. Of medium height and 

 with limited branching, but so outstanding otherwise as to 

 attract attention from all visitors. 



PATHFINDER (Whiting, 1948) Each $3.50 



A big, broad petaled, pearly rose-pink with very heavy sub- 

 stance. Actually a blend, rather than a pink, with some cop- 

 pery suffusion about the haft and style arms. The beard is 

 yellow. Height 36 inches. HM AIS, 1948. 



PATRICE (DeForest, 1945) Each 60c ; 3 for $1.50 



New white plicata which we like very much and which we re- 

 gard as different from the many others listed. Standards light 

 cream flushed pale rosy lavender; falls sparkling white brushed 

 bright gold across the haft which is speckled rose-brown. Re- 

 fined, clean and verv brilliant. Tall and large, with all good 

 points. HM AIS, 1946. See page 28. 



PEG DEBAGH (Craig, 1948) Each $1.00 



A large derivative of Wm. Mohr borne on 45-50 inch stems 

 when well grown. The full globe-shaped flowers are immense, 

 with broad segments, a clear blue-violet in color. One of the 

 best of Mohr Hybrids with typically oncocylus traits. 



PIERRE MENARD (Fought, 1948) Each $2.50 



Finest of the new medium toned blues. The introducer calls 

 it a Hyacinth-blue, with some of the fine netting in slightly 

 deeper shade that distinguishes Great Lakes. Beard is canary- 

 vellow. Very flaring in form, large, with broad segments, 36 to 

 40 inches tall. A very, very late Iris. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1950. 

 Shown on page 43. 



PINK BOUNTIFUL (Cook, 1949) Each $2.00 



Selected as the largest and best of all the orchid-pinks raised 

 by Paul Cook. Large, perfectly formed flowers with broad 

 petals, smooth satiny texture and very heavy substance. Not to 

 be compared with the flamingo-pinks, It approaches this color 

 from the orchid side and is in the range of Harriet Thoreau 

 and Dreamcastle. Husky in growth and extremely floriferous, 

 38 to 40 inches tall. A very beautiful Iris! HM AIS, 1951. 



PINK BOUQUET (Hall, 1953) Each $8.00 



Deep baby-ribbon-pink, with deep orange beard. Produces lots 

 of flowers and provides a foamy mound of soft but definite 

 pink. Withdrawn last year to increase stock; we again have a 

 fair supply. Shown in color on page 49.
