THREE CHEERS (Cook, 1945) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



An amazingly brilliant bicolor similar to Amigo in pattern, 

 but tall— 42 inches— and richer and bolder in contrast. Stand- 

 ards blue-white; falls semi-flaring with narrow border like the 

 standards. A Wabash seedling. HM AIS, 1946. 



THREE OAKS (Whiting, 1943) Each $1.00; 3 for $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 sensa- 

 tions of our garden. Lasts over an extra long period. Height 

 40 inches. HM AIS, 1945; AM, 1949. 



NEW SNOW 



TIFFANJA (DeForest, 1942) Each 60c ; 3 for $1.50 



A new and unique plicata. having a good form and thick sub- 

 stance. Smooth and clean cut: standards colonial buff; falls 

 creamy white, definitely bordered buff, brushed at the haft 

 and speckled around the border with light brown. This is a 

 big flower, 42 inches tall. HM AIS. 1944; AM. 1946. Shown in 

 color on page 31. 



TOAST AN' HONEY (Kleinsorge, 1953) Each $20.00 



An altogether different tan and brown Iris from the originator 

 of such things as Tobacco Road, El Paso, San Antone. Good 

 News, Bryce Canyon and Thotmes III. A full and generously 

 proportioned flower, with wide segments, the falls flaring and 

 waved at the edges. General color is rich light golden brown, 

 like butter and honey, and the falls are shaded deeper toast- 

 brown, especially on the edges and near the hafts. It is of stocky 

 build, well branched, with very large blooms produced on 32- 

 inch stems. See page 47. 



TOBACCO ROAD (Kleinsorge, 1942) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



When this Iris first opened in Dr. Kleinsorge's garden, it was 

 so different, so remarkable in both color and form, that we 

 lost all interest in the many other splendid seedlings in the 

 same garden. Tobacco Road is a golden tobacco-brown self. 

 Standards upright, almost closed, with heavy midribs. Falls are 

 broad, wide at the haft and held stifflv horizontal. Height 32 to 

 36 inches, good branching. HM AIS. 1944; AM, 1946. 



[48] 



TOP FLIGHT (Hall, 1953) Each $7.50 



A more deeply colored Temple Bells (see page 14), more apricot 

 than yellow. Standards and falls are practically the same shade, 

 but the beard is fiery orange-red and very thick and heavy. 

 Manv visitors prefer it over Temple Bells. Height 34 inches. 

 HM AIS, 1953. 



TOURNAMENT (Wills, 7948; Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Luminous rose-purple, a brilliant color effect in a very late 

 varietv. The flowers are large in size and are produced on 40- 

 inch heavy stems. HM AIS, 1948. 



TRANQUILITY (Fay, 1950) Each $5.00 



This very large milk-white flower is carried on perfectly 

 branched, strong stems 38 inches tall. The haft is wide and 

 clean and the beard is white. Some judges regard it as the best 

 of all whites. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1953. 



TRANQUIL MOON (Cook, 1948) Each $2.00 



A most novel thing with light yellow to deep cream standards 

 and silvery white falls bordered the yellow of the standards. 

 Hafts are likewise shaded yellow. The falls of this Iris are extra 

 wide and flare out almost flat, as in Tobacco Road and Ballet 

 Dancer. Large, thick petaled and sparkling: 40 inches tall. HM 

 AIS, 1950. See page 42.
