 Iris circles. HM AIS, 1962. 



LORNA LEE (Gibson, '66) EM. 40" Each $7.50

LUCY LEE (Gibson, '60) M. 36" Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



Clean sparkling white with bright red-violet stitching; of a size and 

 quality that sets a new standard in plicatas of this color combination.

 an abundance of bloom. The beard is light yellow on a gleaming 

 white haft. HM AIS, 1961. 



LUNAR FIRE (Hall, '63) M. 36" Each $3.00

 as Siva-Siva is singular in its field. Large, 36 inches, ideallv branched.

LYNN HALL (Hall, '57) M. 36" Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00

 of luscious pink. It flowers freely, is beautifully branched and grows 

 and increases vigorously. HM AIS, 1957; AM, 1959. See page 29. 



MAD MAID (Gibson, '66) M. 34" Each $5.00 



One of the tasks encountered in trying to describe these novel plicatas 

 is that of finding adequate words. So when we say that Mad Maid 

 has reddish-tan standards, and white ground falls bordered copper 

 which shades into reddish-brown markings, let us assure you that it 

 really is different, and good! HM AIS, 1967. 



MARGARITA (Schreiner, '68) ML. 37" Each $15.00 



This is a rather startling and unique new Iris with crystal white 

 standards and contrasting falls of sumptuous, velvety blue-purple. 

 Entirely different from such things as the old Wabash or Gaylord 

 type, a huge flower with wide petals and graceful ruffling. The beard 

 is practically white. HM AIS, 1969. 



LOVELY LIGHT (Tompkins, '64) ML. 36" Each $5.00 



Richest orange-apricot in color and one of the very best of the new 

 ones in this popular color group. The smooth and handsomely fash- 

 ioned big blossoms are solidly colored and the beard is bright tan- 

 gerine. A winner at Florence, Italy in 1965. HM AIS, 1965. 



MARIE PHILLIPS (Tell, '63) ML. 36" Each $2.50 



A complete self of light Wisteria violet, an enchanting shade hard to 

 describe. Beard is the same color. The nearest thing to this is Lilac 

 Festival, which is somewhat lighter. Domed standards and flaring 

 falls, lightly ruffled. HM AIS, 1964; AM, 1966. See page 17. 



Bright Cloud $1.50 



El Monsour $2.00 



Apple Valley $1.50
