GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge, 1941) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



An odd blend of rather deep tones of plum and copper, and gold. Entirely different 

 from any Iris we have ever introduced, it is an Iris to be admired at close range 

 and is especially suited to bringing indoors and associating with Oriental rugs. At- 

 tractively formed and delicately ruffled. About 40 inches tall, perfectly branched, 

 and it flowers over a very long season. Very large, it is accurately shown in color 

 on page 30. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1944. 



GREAT LAKES (Cousins, 1938) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A clear blue self, produced in Canada by Lyman Cousins, of London, Ontario. A 

 broadly spreading regal type of flower, with handsome foliage and 4-foot stalks, 

 ideally branched. Look at its record: HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1940; Dykes Medal, 1942; 

 No. 1 in the AIS judge's symposium for four successive years and among the first 

 ten for eleven years! 



GYPSY (Kleinsorge, 1944) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



Coppery gold standards and falls of solid chestnut-brown, 

 silky rather than velvety. A very late Iris that brings 

 something new into the variegata field. There is such a 

 contrast in the standards and falls, the latter decidedly 

 rounded and uniformly brown without haft markings, 

 that it commands immediate attention. 4-foot stems, lots 

 of flowers. HM AIS, 1945. See page 36. 



GYPSY CLASSIC (Deforest, 1950) 



Each $6.00 



Wide, flaring, neat flower of royal brown, having a bril- 

 liant henna overlay. Deep gold stvles and bright orange 

 beard. HM AIS, 1952. 



GYPSY ROSE (Whiting, 1946) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Rich tapestry-red suffused with a warm 

 glow of copper and a touch of blue in 

 the center of the falls The blooms 

 are extra large and wide-petaled, 

 with pleasing rounded form. Very 

 tall and vigorous grower. HM 

 AIS. 1949. 



HAPPY BIRTHDAY 



(Hall, 1952) 



Each $12.00 



Peer of all the flamingo-pinks 

 to date. It is twice as large as 

 Heritage and much the same 

 shade of pink; deeper in color 

 than Ballerina, much larger 

 and more colorful than Pink 

 Sensation. It bowled over 

 everyone who saw it here last 

 year. Happy Birthday is not 

 just a sumptuous flower . . . 

 it has bold foliage, big heavy 

 stalks, large rhizomes and in- 

 creases at a rapid rate. 

 Height three feet. HM AIS,

HEATHER ROSE (Hall, 1950) Each $3.50 



This is a large rosy orchid-pink, but of a different shade 

 from any Iris we have seen. The color is new, pleasing 

 and very close to that of Scotch heather. Form, stem 

 and branching are all good. It is a vigorous grower, 

 hardy and blooms freely. A fine Iris in every way and 

 brings a bit of new color to the garden. Courtier is one 

 parent. HM AIS. 1951.
