SUNRAY (Hall, 1950) Each $2.00 



A large ruffled light yellow of quite ideal form and extra 

 heavy substance. One parent is the pink Floradora. These 

 pinks give a sheen and brilliance to their offspring rarely 

 found in yellows. The 36-inch stems and branching are ex- 

 cellent. It is a fast increaser, hardy and an outstanding 

 parent for ruffled pinks and yellows. A well grown stem 

 of Sunray is well nigh the perfect Iris. HM A1S. 1951. 



SUNSET BLAZE (Kleinsorge, 1948) Each $2.00 



A tall and huge golden flame-salmon blend, almost a red, 

 but with so much of the gold influence in it that it is not 

 really a red Iris. You have seen the sun look much like 

 this just before it sinks over the horizon. Both standards 

 and falls are extra large and the haft and beard are bright 

 golden yellow. A most impressive flower, blooming very 

 early on widely branched stalks reaching 42 inches. Win- 

 ner of the President's Cup at the AIS convention in 1949. 

 HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. See page 41. 



SYLISTA (Mitchell, 1950) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Wax-like ivory-white with clean cut yellow shoulders and 

 bright yellow beard. Lovely in its own right, it combines 

 perfectly with any of the pure whites or yellows. The large 

 flowers are rather rounded in form, the stems widely 

 branched and 3 feet in height. A real charmer! 



SYLVIA MURRAY (Norfon, 1944) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 

 This new blue is derived from Great Lakes crossed with 

 Shining Waters, lighter in color than either of the parents 

 and with the silvery smoothness of pale blue silk. Enor- 

 mous flowers, 40-inch stems, altogether a grand blue Iris. 

 HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1949. Shown on page 31. 



TALLY-HO (Hall, 1949) Each $5.00 



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

 seen in bright fuchsia colored Orchids. The domed stand- 

 ards and lower part of the falls are lighter. This is some- 

 thing 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 Herita 

 Pink Sensation, Fuchsia, and others scheduled lor intro- 

 duction. HM AIS, 1950. See page 50. 



TECHNICOLOR (Whiting, 1950) Each $5.00 



One of the "reddest" of the reds— n seedling of Garden 

 Glory. Brighter and nearer to true red than the parent, 

 it is also taller than that fine variety. A heavy bloomer and 

 fast increaser. 



TEMPLE BELLS (Hall, 1952) Each $10.00 

 A larger and more metallic colored Hi-Time— a 

 sort of apricot-yellow with no peachy under- 

 tone. The blooms are extra large, the falls flar- 

 ing'way out and then drooping gracefully with 

 a slight ruffle. Note the heavy red-orange beard. 

 A seedling of Dolly Varden, considered by Mr. 

 Hall as his finest golden apricot self. 36 inches, well 

 branched. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954. See page 14. 



THE ADMIRAL (Hall, 1941) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



An intense blue, deeper than medium blue, but not really 

 a dark shade. The form, finish and substance are outstanding. 

 Withstands either sun, wind or rain equally well, lasts long in 

 bloom and makes a wonderful garden clump. Bluish beard 

 lends depth to the color. HM AIS, 1940: AM, 1944. 



THE CAPITOL (Maxwell-Norton, 1945) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 

 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 31. 



TOAST AN' HONEY 



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



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

 plush. Deep rosy wine-red, solid at haft, with a brownish cast 

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

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



THOTMES III (Kleinsorge, 1950) Each $7.50 



Ten years ago we introduced Tobacco Road. Since then the 

 Kleinsorge "browns" have become known and grown the world 

 over . . . deep browns, pale tans, sultry blends in many hues. 

 This newest one is medium light in tone, a smooth self of 

 glistening golden tan with a light bronze beard. It is a gigantic 

 Iris with extra broad falls and heavy texture. 40 inches tall. 

 HM AIS, 1951; AM, 1953. Shown on page 15.
