GRAPE FESTIVAL (Gaulter, '69) Each $20.00 



An Iris of stupendous proportions— one of the largest we have ever 

 seen— in a shade resembling Concord grape juice. There is some 

 bronze shading on the haft which is lit up with an almost white 

 beard. Just a hint of bronze adorns the lace-edged falls. Height over 

 three feet. Mid-season. Shown on page 15. 



GRAND ALLIANCE (Plough, '65) M. 36" Each $12.50 



This richly colored deep spectrum-violet is similar in form and 

 habit to the famous Allegiance, one of its parents. However, it is a 

 lustrous purple rather than deep blue, and the beard is blue, tipped 

 with brown. Ruffled and handsome. HM AIS, 1966; AM, 1969. 



GRAND COULEE (Plough, '58) ML. 34" Pach $1.50 



A very large and beautifully fringed and ruffled yellowish tan with 

 rose blendings. The beard is contrasting bright vellow. Wide, domed 

 standards, and falls of great width, the stalks well branched and 

 about 34 inches. HM AIS, 1959. See page 20. 



GRAND RAPIDS (Tompkins, '66) ML. 38" Each $7.50 



A giant blend in brilliantly glistening shades of carmel, orange and 

 copper, with an undertone of amber-rose. Beard is deep orange with 

 a highlight of lilac at the tip. Wonderful form, the broad petals 

 rounded and of heavy substance. Well branched. Rather late. See 

 page 13. 



GREEN QUEST (R. Brown, '60) ML. 36" Each $2.00 



We hear a great, deal about "green Iris" these days but the term is 

 largely an exaggeration. This is as near green as any, actually bright 

 primrose yellow with a chartreuse green cast. Added to the unusual 

 color is perfection of form, large size, perfect branching. It blooms 

 rather late. HM AIS, 1962. See page 21. 



GYPSY JEWELS (Schreiner, '63) M. 35" Each $3.00 



Here is a ruby to garnet red of different tonal value from any red in 

 this catalog. Crisply flaring, remarkable heavy substance, and a 

 plushy sheen on the falls, with no haft markings. HM AIS, 1964; 

 AM, 1966. 



GYPSY LULLABY fO. Brown, '61) M. 36" Each $3.00 



Ruffled standards of butterscotch with a light violet flush; flaring 

 very wide falls of medium red-violet shading to the color of the 

 standards. This is distinctlv different and has produced some novel 

 seedlings. HM AIS, 1962; AM, 1964. See page 23. 



HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Hall, '52) M. Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



Peer of all the flamingo-pinks. Happy Birthday is not just a sumptu- 

 ous flower ... it has bold foliage, big, heavy stalks, large rhizomes 

 and increases at a rapid rate. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 

 1954. One of the "5 Iris of the Year" in 1960. See page 33. 



HAPPY WANDERER (Lapham, '57) M. Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



A clear tapestry-red self with clean, smooth hafts and a dark orange 

 beard. This is the largest red Iris we have seen. Both standards and 

 falls are full, well rounded and the shade of red is vibrant and glow- 

 ing. Illustration on page 30. Height 36 inches. 



HAWAIIAN BREEZE (Hall, '61) ML 36" Each $1.50 



A delicately colored flower that is neither pink nor mauve, but is 

 from pink breeding and could be called a pink blend. It is so differ- 

 ent from others of this series, so enchanting in its pastel shadings 

 and so excitinglv unique. Large, well formed and nicelv branched. 

 See page 33. HM AIS, 1963. 



HEARTBREAKER (Hall, '64) ML. 36" Each $3.00 



A large, flaring pink self, with deep pink beard and a worthy mem- 

 ber of the finest trio of pink Iris we have ever introduced from Mr. 

 Hall. Heartbreaker has extra fine branching and flowers from mid- 

 season to late. Shown on page 32. HM .AIS, 1965. 



HEATHER HAWK (Gibson, '66) ML. 36" Each $6.00 



Almost pure white falls with a narrow ba;id of pinkish copper and 

 light plicata markings on the haft. The standards are pale copper 

 shading into white, delicately ruffled and flounced. Style-arms and 

 beard are a contrasting old gold tint. Large blooms, admirable place- 

 ment, on 3-foot stems. See page 43. HM AIS, 1968. 



HEAVENLY DAYS (Wickersham, '63) M. 36" Each $2.00 



Too many blues? Not with the ciuality, form, size and crisp clear 

 June sky hue of this one! Standards are wide and upright, practically 

 closed at the top, waved and of heavy substance. The falls are extra 

 broad and flaring, set off with a creamy white beard. Good branching 

 and very long lasting. Shown on page 52.
