ORANGEMAN (Wafers, 7946) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A lovely huge orange self with a touch of deeper orange at the haft. The 

 flower has a wonderfully smooth, well groomed ,look; the coloring is 

 even and rich. The tall stems, 40 inches high, are very well branched. 

 An outstanding Iris in a much sought after color. HM AIS, 1947. 



ORELIO (DeForest, 1947) Each $1.50 



Deep crimson-brown, more red than brown. Obtained from Casa Morena 

 crossed with Garden Flame, which will convey some idea as to the color 

 of this rich Iris. It is large, tall and well branched. HM AIS, 1948. 



ORMOHR (Kleinsorge, 1937) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



One of the largest Irises in existence and especially noteworthy because 

 it is a seedling of Wm Mohr. It reaches 40 inches in height, with several 

 great blooms on well-branched stalks. The color is pale lilac with a 

 silvery cast, veined violet. Darker when first opening and in dull weather. 

 HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1940. 



PACEMAKER (Lapham, 1950) Each $6.00 



Possibly the best red Iris of all. Greig Lapham, the originator, has spent 

 a score of years breeding reds and this is the finest one we have ever 

 grown. The co.lor is uniform in standards and falls without veins on the 

 haft ; a warm red tone, on the orange rather than the purple or wine 

 side. The rich beard is bronzy gold. 36 inches in height. HM AIS, 1950. 



PAGAN PRINCESS (Douglas, 1948) Each $2.50 



Deep pink to rose to velvety fuchsia-red, with tangerine-red beard. The 

 rounded falls are bordered pink, like the standards. Tall, slender stems 

 but the flowers are of great size. A good contrast with the "flamingo- 

 pinks." 



PALE PRIMROSE (Whiting, 1946) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A late, cool primrose-yellow with a touch of wax-yellow at the haft. 

 Of an attractive and useful color, the form of this Iris is its real disinc- 

 tive feature. It is oval, with standards closed and swirled at the top; 

 the falls are long but so wide they nearly touch each other, the effect is 

 of a huge yellow rosebud. Very late, high branched and tall — most 

 effective in back of a planting. HM AIS, 1950. See page 33. 



PALOMINO (Hall, 1952) Each $15.00 



Related to the pinks, it is a seedling of Hi-Time — the only suggestion 

 of pink is in the standards. The falls are pale ivory with an amber-cop- 

 per shoulder and thin band all the way around. Beard is like a boniire, 

 rich, redder and more dominant than the illustration on page 45, al- 

 though this is really a very excellent portrayal of this variety. For size, 

 form, substance, branching and truly marvelous color this is indeed su- 

 preme. (Seeding No. 49-26). Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1952. 



PASTELLA (Hall, 1953) Each $10.00 



Extra large lavender-rose self, from flamingo-pink parentage. Pastel.la 

 is not a pink, however. It is a luscious shade of lavender with an all 

 over rosy cast, standards and falls the same color. The beard is tangerine- 

 orange. Of medium height and with limited branching, but so outstand- 

 ing otherwise as to attract attention from all visitors. 



PATRICE (DeForest, 1945) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



New white plicata which we like very much and which we regard as dif- 

 ferent from the many others listed. Standards light cream flushed pale 

 rosy lavender; falls sparkling white brushed bright go.ld across the haft 

 which is speckled rose-brown. Refined, clean and very brilliant. Tall and 

 large, with all good points. HM AIS, 1946. See page 29. 



PEACHBLOW (H. Sass, 1943) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A pinkish plicata with yellow ground, illustrated perfectly in color plate. 

 This Iris has the remarkable faculty of "carrying power" and its pinki- 

 ness accents any spot where it is planted. Oval-shaped blooms on tall 

 stems, nicely branched. Rapid increaser. See color plate on page 37. 



PEACH MERINGUE (Schreiner, 1951 Each $3.50 



Melting golden tan like a heavily frosted lemon pie fresh from the oven. 

 The whole flower carries a soft undertone of pink and the beard is tan- 

 gerine-red. Extra large, the falls broad and flaring; it produces a wealth 

 of bloom on 3-foot stems. 



PEG DEBAGH (Craig, 1948) Each $3.00 



A large derivative of Wm. Mohr borne on 45-50 inch stems when well 

 grown. The full globe-shaped flowers are immense, with broad segments, 

 a clear blue-violet in color. One of the best of Mohr Hybrids with 

 typically oncocylus traits. 



PIERRE MENARD (Faught, 1948) Each $5.00 



Finest of the new medium toned blues. The introducer calls it a Hyacinth- 

 blue, with some of the fine netting in slightly deeper shade that dis- 

 tinguishes Great Lakes. Beard is canary-yellow. Very flaring in form, 

 large, with broad segments, 36 to 40 inches tall. A very, very late Iris. 

 HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1950. Shown on page 45. 



PINK BOUNTIFUL (Cook, 1949) Each $3.00 



Selected as the largest and best of all the orchid-pinks raised by Paul 

 Cook. Large, perfectly formed flowers with broad petals, smooth satiny 

 texture and very heavy substance. Not to be compared with the flamingo- 

 pinks, it approaches this color from the orchid side and is in the range 

 of Harriet Thoreau and Dreamcastle. Husky in growth and extremely 

 floriferous, 38 to 40 inches tall. A very beautiful Iris! HM AIS, 1951. 



PINK CAMEO (Fay, 1946) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



One of the new series of "flamingo" pinks — a true pink devoid 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 21. 



PINK FORMAL (Muhlestein, 1949) Each $6.00 



A new deep pink which is conceded to be sensational. It is large in size 

 and very tall, with red-tangerine beard. Very few plants for sale. HM 

 AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. 



PINK PLUME (Schreiner, 1951) Each $6.00 



A seff colored orchid-pink, large, lighter and more pink than Dream- 

 castle, 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. Limited stock. HM AIS, 1952. 



PINK REFLECTION (Cook, 1942) Each 75c 



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

 thing 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 26. 



PINK RUFFLES (Smith, 1940) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Solidly colored lilac-pink that might be classed as an intermediate be- 

 cause of its low growth — about 24 to 28 inches. The flowers are self- 

 colored and heavily fluted and ruffled, produced in great number. HM 

 AIS, 1940; AM, 1942. 



PINK SENSATION (David Hall, 1948) Each $7.50 



From the garden of the world's foremost breeder of pink Irises we se- 

 lected 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 rounded 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. 



PINNACLE (Stevens, 1949) Each $4.00 



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 12. 



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 b.lendings of peach, apricot, 

 rose, copper and gold are so well done that one is at 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 35.
