TALLY-HO (Hall, 1949) Each $7.50 



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. Jt 

 is a wonderful parent — when cossed with clear flamingo- 

 pinks it throws orchid-pinks, golden apricots, and some 

 burgundy shades. It is one of the parents of Heritage, Pink 

 Sensation, Fuchsia, and others scheduled for introduction. 

 HM AIS. 1950. 



TEMPLE BELLS (Hall, 1952) 



Each $15.00 



A larger and more metallic colored Hi-Time — a sort of 

 apricot-yellow with no peachy undertone. The blooms are 

 extra large, the falls flaring '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. See page 43. 



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 outstand- 

 ing. 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. 

 Shown in color on page 34. 



THE CAPITOL (Maxwell-Norton, 1945) 



Each $1.00 



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 cater- 

 pillar. Tall growing and splendidly branched. HM AIS, 

 1946. Picture on page 26. 



THE RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass, 1937) 

 Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Simply colossal in size, as smooth and heavy as a 

 piece of richest plush. It is deep rosy wine-red. 

 solid at the haft, with a brownish cast near the 

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

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



THOTMES III (Kleinsorge, 1950) Each $10.00 



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 gold- 

 en 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. 



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. Standards 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 sea- 

 son. Huge in size, beautifully blended tones of rose-pink and copper, 

 and on very tall stems, it was one of the sensations of our garden. Lasts 

 over an extra .long period. Height 40 inches. HM AIS, 1945 ; AM, 1949. 



TIFFANY (H. Sass, 1938) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Soft but decidedly yellow in color, with abundant stitching of bronzy 

 pinkish violet. A gracefully frilled flower of full proportions; very large, 

 vigorous growing, reasonably tall. About the best of the low-priced yellow 

 plicatas. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1943. See page 36. 



Quechee 



TIFFANJA (Deforest, 1942) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.50 



A new and unique plicata, having a good form and thick substance. 

 Smooth and clean cut; standards colonial buff; falls creamy white, def- 

 initely 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 28. 



TOBACCO ROAD (Kleinsorge, 1942) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



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

 ferent, 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 stiffly hori- 

 zontal. Height 32 to 36 inches, good branching. HM AIS, 1944; 

 AM, 1946. 



TOP FLIGHT (Hall, 1953) Each $10.00 



A more deeply colored Temple Bells, see page 43, more apricot than yel- 

 low. Standards and falls are practically the same shade, but the beard 

 is fiery orange-red and very thick and heavy. Many visitors prefer it over 

 Temple Bells. Height 34 inches. HM AIS. 1953.
