PINK CAMEO (Fay, 1946) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



One of the new series of "flamingo" pinks— a true pink de- 

 void of violet influence— the kind of pink Iris we have all been 

 wishing to see. Color is described as pale cameo-pink, a self, 

 with a startling tangerine beard, like a tongue of flame on the 

 hafts. An Iris of good size, 3 feet in height. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 

 1948. See page 31. 



PINK FORMAL (Muhlestein, 1949) Each $4.00 



A new deep pink which is conceded t® be sensational. It is large 

 in size and very tall, with red-tangerine beard. Verv few plants 

 for sale. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. 



PINK PLUME (Schreiner, 1951) Each $3.00 



A self colored orchid-pink, large, lighter and more pink than 

 Dreamcastle, which it somewhat resembles. Because of its clean 

 color and extra "carrying power", we think it is one of the 

 best introductions of the past few seasons. Height 3 feet. HM 

 AIS, 1952; AM, 1954. 



PINK REFLECTION (Coo/c, 1942) Each 75c 



Chamois-skin-pink self, a peculiar and enchanting shade unlike 

 anything else. There seems to be a fleeting buff undertone. A 

 crisp and clean cut flower, flaring in form, with very heavy 

 texture. The beard is lemon. Height 3 feet; very late. HM AIS, 

 1942; AM, 1944. See page 34. 



PINK SENSATION (David Hall, 1948) Each $5.00 



From the garden of the world's foremost breeder of pink Irises 

 we selected this new creation when it first flowered in the 

 spring of 1946. True delicate light pink, without any influence 

 of lilac or salmon tones, and sporting the famous tangerine or 

 orange-red beard, it is just the kind of pink Iris you have been 

 wanting. PINK SENSATION is a large flower, full and round- 

 ed in form, with laciniated petal edges. Extremely early— one 

 of the very first of the tall bearded to come into flower. Height 

 about 33 inches. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1952. Shown on page 12. 



PINNACLE (Stevens, 1949) Each $2.50 



With standards of clear sparkling white and well formed broad 

 falls of clean primrose-yellow this is really something new in 

 Iris. Bred in New Zealand; it is a good grower with perfect 

 branching on 3-foot stems. Very much in demand and will sell 

 out early. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. Illustrated on page 44. 



PRAIRIE SUNSET (H. Sass, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



All that has been said about this gorgeous Sass creation is true, 

 but it simply has to be seen to be realized. The blendings of 

 peach, apricot, rose, copper and gold are so well done that one 

 is ;ii a loss to describe it adequately. A fine big flower that will 

 give you a thrill every time you look at it. HM AIS. 1937; AM, 

 1941; Dykes Medal, 1943. See page 37. 



PRETENDER (Cook, 1951) Each $10.00 



The best of a series of "blue-failed variegatas" from the origi- 

 nator of Amigo, Indiana Night, Pink Bountiful, Dreamcastle, 

 Tranquil Moon and a multitude of famed varieties. Standards 

 are soft yellow, falls solid velvety blue-purple with narrow 

 lighter margin. Genuinely different! 35 inches tall with large 

 flowers. HM AIS, 1952. 



PRETTY QUADROON (Kleinsorge, 1948; Each $5.00 



Smoth, metallic, light copper-brown or pale tan, with a hint 

 of lavender and gold as an undertone. The flowers are of fault- 

 less form— wide hafts, spreading falls and large, closed stand- 

 ards. The beard is brown. It is a color most difficult to describe 

 but it has much more life and attraction than these coppery 

 tans usually proviued. The one seed pod from whence it came 

 (Mexico x Tobacco Road) produced at least six of these in- 

 teresting blends and we selected this and VOODOO as the 

 best and most novel in color. Height 33 to 36 inches. It is 

 shown on page 17. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1950. 



PROSPECTOR (Kleinsorge, 1950) Each $2.50 



Shown on page 41. Deepest golden yellow . . . almost an or- 

 ange . . . with the falls carrying a bold patch of clean ivory- 

 white. For combined depth of color and brilliance at the same 

 time PROSPECTOR has no equal amongst the yellows. The 

 amply large flowers are produced abundantly; they are well 

 formed with widely flaring falls and closed standards. Height 

 about 34 to 36 inches. Of the many first rate yellow Iris avail- 

 able these days there are none quite like this one. HM ATS, 

 1951; AM, 1953. 



QUECHEE (Knowlton, 1950) Each $4.00 



A handsome garnet-red self. Standards are cupped, the falls 

 flaring and rounded and the bronze beard is thick and heavy. 

 Of good and ample size but not extra large. It is one of the 

 reddest and is an easy grower producing its brilliant flowers 

 on 36-inch stalks. HM AIS, 1950. Pictured on page 15. 



QUEEN'S TASTE (Douglas, 1952) Each $8.00 



Lavender-pink standards with a strong mid-rib. The falls are 

 a blended rose to violet-red, the entire flower full and very 

 large in size. Everyone is attracted to it and wants to know all 

 about it. New and different. HM AIS, 1953. 



RADIATION (Hall, 1948) Each $5.00 



A pleasing tone of orchid-pink, the standards and falls the 

 same color, with a remarkable deep tangerine beard and burnt 

 orange glow at the heart. Standards of the large flowers are 

 domed, the falls semi-flaring and very wide. A more intensely 

 colored flower than Cherie or Heritage, it produces a most 

 vivid pink garden picture. Heavy substance and sturdy growth 

 on 32-inch well branched stalks. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1950. 

 See page 16. 



RAINBOW ROOM (Sass, 1946) Each $2.00 



A multi-colored blend with almost all of the tints of the rain- 

 bow. Standards are yellow to light buff, falls yellowish at the 

 edges, merging into violet and deepening to metallic blue at 

 the end of the beard. Standards are frilled and the falls are 

 nicely ruffled. 3 feet. HM AIS, 1947; AM, 1951. Shown on page 

 43. 



RAJAH BROOKE (Norton, I945J Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Rich topaz-yellow standards shot with bronze; the falls deep 

 pigeon-blood-red. Haft solidly colored, clear into the throat, 

 giving the flower an extra rich effect. Not brilliant and garish, 

 Rajah Brooke is an Iris in luxurious, subdued hues remindful 

 of an Oriental rug. HM AIS, 1946. In color on page 32. 



RANGER (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Dark but very bright, almost true crimson-red. A decided self, 

 with long, cone-shaped, closed standards and wide falls of 

 glossy velvet. Bronze-orange beard on a brownish toned haft, 

 with very little venation. One of the last to bloom, a sure pro- 

 ducer of flowers and lots of them, with straight stems and fine 

 branching. Very large, 36 inches tall. HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1946. 

 Shown on page 29. 



RASPBERRY RIBBON (Schreiner, 1951) Each $7.50 



If you like the plicata Minnie Colquitt you will exclaim over 

 this redder, more contrasty, more brilliant improvement. The 

 standards are almost completely raspberry-red, the falls gleam- 

 ing white in the center of a surrounding band matching the 

 standards. Beard is orange. HM AIS, 1951. Illustrated on page 

 17. 



RED VALOR (Nicholls, 1939) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A superb red that gleams like a ruby; domed standards, semi- 

 flaring falls. The sleek finish resembles polished leather, the 

 beard is bronzy gold. Rich, colorful and imposing. HM AIS, 

 1940; AM, 1943. 



REDWYNE (McKee, 7945; Each $1.50 



Deep but bright mahogany-red self. The medium size flowers 

 are solidly colored, including a smooth haft and the finish is 

 particularly velvety. Beard is bronze-gold. One of the "reddest" 

 Irises, especially brilliant in the garden. HM AIS, 1945.
