HENNA STITCHES (Gibson, '61) EM. 36" Each $1.50 



Well illustrated on page 26. A very bright combination of frosty white 

 and gleaming henna-copper. The petals are gracefully flounced and 

 ruffled. A feature which enlivens this plicata is the metallic gleam of 

 the reddish margins and stylearms. HM AIS, 1962. 



HENRY SHAW (C. Benson, '59) M. 38" Each $2.00 



A giant white, perfectly proportioned, crimped and ruffled and with 

 a greenish undertone on the falls. The huge buds have a greenish 

 cast and the beard is white. Many flowers and good branching. HM 

 AIS, 1969; AM, 1961. Best white Iris of 1965. See page 43. 



HIGH ABOVE (Deforest, '6J; M. 36" Each $2.00 



One of the late Fred DeForest's masterpieces. Color is pale sky blue, 

 smooth and even, the texture like satin. Very spreading falls, waved 

 at the edges, seven to nine blooms to the 36-inch stalk. HM AIS, 1962; 

 AM, 1964. Shown on page 22. 



HIGH ESTEEM (Tompkins, '66) ML. 36" Each $15.00 



This is a new, beautifully formed, deep Peachglow pink with a bright 

 coral-rose beard. The 36 to 40-inch stems are ramrod stiff, perfectly 

 branched and flowers from midseason to very late. Large flowers, 

 elegantly ruffled. HM AIS, 1967. 



HIGH LIFE (Schreiner, '64) L. 36" Each $5.00 



A spirited burgundy red plicata on the order of Karachi but both 

 larger and taller than that fine variety. The giant, richly hued flowers 

 resemble some rare tropical orchid, borne on stalks 3 feet or over 

 in height. Late. HM AIS, 1965. Shown on page 45.

Fashion Show $1.00

HIGH SIERRA (Gaulfer, '67) ML. 38" Each $10.00 



We have seen a host of white Iris in our time and there are many 

 truly magnificent ones listed in this catalog. This one, however, is 

 so huge, so flawless and so immaculate that after flowering it the past 

 two seasons we think it superior to any white we know. A complete 

 self, medium late. 38-inch stems. HC AIS, 1966; HM AIS, 1968. See 

 page 15. 



IN ORBIT (Gibson, '63) M. 30" Each $5.00 



A new pattern in plicatas, as regards both the combination of colors 

 and the striking contrast between standards and falls. Standards are 

 waved and fluted, solid tan with a flush of light violet; the ruffled 

 falls striated and peppered deep plum on a white ground. Large 

 flowers on stocky, 30-inch, well balanced stems. HM AIS, 1964. 



IMPERIAL LILAC (Schreiner, '63) M. 36" Each $3.00 



Shimmering, frosty, fresh-toned self of clean lilac-lavender, huge in 

 size and extra heavy in substance. This is one hard to fault and is 

 probably the very best in its color class. HM AIS, 1965. 



IRENE BROWN (R. Brown, '60) EM. 36" Each $2.00 



If you are looking for deep color in the pink class you will find it 

 here! Clean and rich in tone, the coral red beard adding to its bright- 

 ness. Large, fairly early. HM AIS, 1962.
