Vanity Fair 



TRANQUIL MOON (Cook, 1948) Each $4.00 



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 ye.llow. 

 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 7. 



TRULY YOURS (Fay, 1949) Each $15.00 



The heart of this spectacular creation is bright yellow, shading off to al- 

 most white at the top of the standards and the bottom of the falls. The 

 entire flower is ruffled and edged in lace, like Chantilly. Unopened buds are 

 yellow, because the undersides of the fal,ls are yellow although faced white 

 on top! Gigantic in size, 38 inches tall; very late. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951; 

 Dykes Medal, 1953. Shown on page 41. 



TWILIGHT SKY (Fay, 1949) Each $2.00 



A pink of exceptional form and substance with pink buds and 

 red beard. Parentage is Pink Cameo x Floradora. Mr. Fay con- 

 siders this the best out of hundreds of seedlings raised for clear 

 pinks. It is of lovely form and tailored appearance, a soft clean 

 clear pink with red tinged beard. 35 inches tall. HM AIS, 1950. 



VANITY FAIR (Hall, 1951) Each $10.00 



Clear medium true pink, very smooth and tailored in appearance. 

 Near the color of Cherie, perhaps, but really does not resemble 

 it. This is almost an ideal flamingo-pink Iris, with lots of color, 

 stems at least three feet in height, beautiful form and a very fiery 

 tangerine beard. It is very late. Cherie x Fantasy. (Seedling No. 

 47-19). HM AIS, 1952. Illustrated at left. 



VATICAN PURPLE (Whiting, 1943) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Of bo.ld stature and splendid form, this is one of the most strik- 

 ing newcomers in an old color class that welcomes such improve- 

 ments. Deep but bright blue-purple, silky in finish but heavy in 

 texture, without haft markings. It has wide spreading falls and 

 3-foot stems. A good picture of it on page 17. HM AIS, 1943. 



VICE-REGAL (Miles, 1946) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



Here is a brand new Iris from Canada, one of the most richly 

 colored seedlings we have ever grown. The standards and falls 

 are almost identical in color, but the velvet of the latter makes 

 them appear slightly deeper. Scarcely any haft markings — a 

 surpreme shade of glowing bronzy red-purple with bronze beard. 

 33 inches tall. Shown on page 37. HM AIS, 1947 ; AM, 1951. 



VICTORIAN VEIL (Craig, 1950) Each $5.00 



Extra large ruffled and densely marked fancy plicata. Color is 

 rose-violet, the standards lighter than the falls. If you don't care 

 for plicatas you won't like this — if you do, then here is something 

 unique. 



VIOLET SYMPHONY (K. Smith, 1940) Each 75c 



Smoothly finished Bradley's violet self, free from venations. Prac- 

 tically without competition in its color class, the standards full 

 and closed, the falls very broad and rounded. Not a deep color 

 but rather a light violet-purple or deep violet-mauve. A near 

 perfect flower, 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1940 ; AM, 1943.
