TALLY-HO 



WABASH (Williamson, 1937) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Pure white standards and rich velvety deep violet falls border- 

 ed white— the most striking amoena of all. Very tall, branched 

 above the middle of the stalk with a profusion of large, slightly 

 ruffled blossoms. The color plate on page 38 shows this popular 

 Iris in perfect detail. HM AIS, 1937; AM, 1938. Awarded the 

 Dykes Medal in 1940. 



WELCOME GUEST (Linse, 1952) Each $10.00 



This is a zippy, flaring Iris of amber-gold, smooth and lovely. 

 The fine flaring flowers improve with age and hot sun! Some- 

 where within the color range of Inca Chief, but taller and of 

 different form. 38 inches. 



WHISPERS (Linse, 1951 Each $4.00 



A soft and lovely colored Iris with ruffled standards of chrome- 

 yellow and flaring falls of amber-white. A reverse amoena with 

 good habits. 42 inches tall. HM AIS, 1952. 



WHITE SPRITE (Cassebeer, 1951) Each $5.00 



A brand new and most distinct snow-white, including the 

 beard. The flowers are delicately ruffled and the broad falls 

 almost touch each other. They flare straight out and the stand- 

 ards appear as a white ruffled ball setting on a white plate. 36 

 inches tall. HM AIS. 1952. See page 49.

WINTER CARNIVAL (Schreiner, 1941) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A fine hardy white, bred in Minnesota. Widely flaring falls, 

 snow-white in color, the throat heavily tinted gold. Branching 

 is excellent and the stout stems hold the big blooms well aloft. 

 This is one of our best whites. HM AIS, 1942. See page 35. 



ZANTHA (Fay, 1947) Each $2.00 



A very large deep yellow self, clear and clean, with a rich 

 yellow beard and no haft markings. Perfection in form, tailor- 

 ed and flaring, the 3-foot stems widely branched. This Iris won 

 the President's Cup in 1947. HM AIS. 1947; AM., 1952. 



ZEBRA (Pallida variegata) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



The only Iris with leaves striped creamy yellow and green. Ex- 

 cellent for a foliage accent in the border and, as shown on 

 page 42, it lends itself particularly well to some types of flower 

 arrangements. Bears lavender-blue blossoms but its chief value 

 lies in its novel foliage. 



HOW TO DIVIDE AND PLANT AN IRIS 



After about 3 or 4 years an old clump 

 should be dug up and divided. Healthy, 

 growing rhizomes are separated from old 

 bloomstalks and weak, wornout portions 

 discarded. Wash rhizomes thoroughly be- 

 fore replanting. Best time to do this is July, 

 August or early September..
