MISSION SUNSET (Bro. Charles, '63) M. 36" Each $3.50 



This is derived from Celestial Glory and is in the same brilliant 

 orange color range. Described by some as "golden apricot." Mission 

 Sunset carries a hint of pink and a touch of chartreuse on the falls. 

 Beard is deep red and petals are lightly ruffled. HM AIS, 1964; AM, 

 1966. See page 17. 



MORNING BREEZE (Fay, '63) EM. 34" Each $5.00 



Related to Rippling Waters, lighter in tone but in the same elusive, 

 pale blue-orchid and cream combination of merged tints. Ruffled 

 flowers with brilliant beards. HM AIS, 1964. 



MUSIC MAKER (Waters, '63) EM. 34" Each $3.50 



The much heralded supreme blue which some critics have judged 

 as the very best, particularly in form and color, of any blue Iris thus 

 far. A sky blue self, wide petaled, gracefully ruffled, on stout 34-inch 

 stems. HM AIS, 1964; AM, 1966. 



MY HONEYCOMB (Gibson, '59) M. Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A molasses and honey blended plicata of great size, and excellent 

 branching, embracing the quality of Taholah, one of its parents, in 

 a taller and flashing combination of colors. The illustration on page 

 30 shows what to expect ... a giant Firecracker, deeper, richer and 

 with twice the stem of this fine old favorite. Height 36-38 inches. 

 HM AIS, 1960. 



NATCHEZ TRACE (WiWs, '69) M. Each $15.00 



This rich, velvety red-brown comes from Jesse Wills, of Nashville, 

 Tennessee, a past President of The American Iris Society. He has 

 been breeding a red line of Iris for many years and has several excel- 

 lent previous introductions in tones of red and rose. This one has 

 rose-red standards, conical in form and closed at the top; falls of rich 

 crimson-brown velvet with smooth, unmarked hafts adorned with 

 a heavy bronze-orange beard. Flowers are very large, the stalks well 

 branched and it blooms midseason to late. 34 to 36 inches. See page 41. 



NATIVE CHIEF (Gibson, '66) ML. 34" Each $5.00 



Yellowish tan or "buckskin" colored standards, very ruffled and full, 

 and white falls bordered with the same soft tan of the standards over 

 ivory white. This is one of Gibson's very largest new things and is 

 imdoubtedly one of his best in every way. Well spaced. Shown on 

 page 46. 



NEWPORT (Schreiner, '63) EM. 38" Each $3.00 



The bluest of blue plicatas, the snowy ground edged a delightful 

 cerulean blue. It is brighter than Rococo and the colors are in sharper 

 contrast. Tall, large and well branched. Early. HM AIS, 1966. 



NIGHTSIDE (Schreiner, '67) M. 38" Each $12.00 



Another of those very rich, sultry, silk-sheened blue-black gems from 

 this well known source of outstanding and very popular black Iris. 

 Not actually black, of course, but nearly so, including the beard. 

 Perfect on all counts. HM AIS, 1968. 



NIGHT SONG (Lu\hn, '65) ML. 38" Each $5.00 



A new sultry black from Dark Fury and Black Taffeta. Heavily ruffled 

 and velvety, the beard matching the deluxe richness of the standards 

 and falls. 38 inches. HM AIS. 1966. 



NIKE (J. Nelson, '59) EM. 38" Each $2.00 



Here is a deep, rich apricot with yellow at the center, the beard thick 

 and wide, of a deeper apricot shade. From a cross of Cloud Cap and 

 Palomino; rich and lustrous, with 8-inch blooms. HM AIS, 1961. 



NOB HILL (GauHer, '66) ML. 40" Each $3.50 



A soft, sort of bamboo yellow with slight amber overlay on the falls. 

 Hafts are slightly deeper in tone and the beard is still deeper yellow. 

 Huge in size and the great blooms are perfectly formed. HM AIS, 1967. 



NORMANDIE (Gaulfer, '68) ML. 38" Each $1 0.00 



Light lavender-lilac, shading to near white in the center of the falls. 

 The contrasting yellow to tangerine beard enlivens the soft, pastel 

 tone of the big, broad petaled blossoms, the falls of which almost 

 touch each other. Here is beauty, polish and grace in an Iris, the 

 color of which may not seem so exciting in print . . . but it is really 

 super! Shown on page 48. 



'Received my Iris, they arrived in great shape. I was never as 

 thrilled over any plants I have ever ordered from any company. 

 They were such healthy, nice plants, and the extra was another 

 thrill. Such lovely plants I know I'll enjoy them for years."
