Wenatchee Valley $15.00 



Orchid Brocade $5.00 



OLYMPIC TORCH (Schreiner, '58) L. 40" Each $2.00 



This CTand coppery yellow-bronze is our choice of all the Schreiner 

 introductions. It has great size, moderate ruffling, lovely even coloring, 

 and perfect height and branching. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1960. Illus- 

 trated on page 34. 



ONE DESIRE (Shoop, '60) EM. 34" Each $3.50 



Nearly all pink Iris carry a certain amount of peach, salmon or 

 apricot blended together. Here is one which is devoid of the.se in- 

 fluences and in some quarters is regarded as the nearest approach 

 to real pink. Color is rich and deep with beard in harmony. HM AIS, 

 1960; AM, 1963. 



ORANGE BANNER (Waters, '55) M. Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



Handsome and brilliant orange-yellow of very large size. The heavy 

 beard is slightly deeper in shade than the rest of the flower. Petals 

 are broad and well formed. 34 inches. HM AIS, 1955. 



ORANGE CHARIOT (Fay, '64) M. 34" Each $5.00 



Light orange, both standards and falls a uniform shade. Blossoms are- 

 large, with wide petals, semi-flaring and thick in texture. The in- 

 tense, tangerine-coral beard adds brilliance and appeal to the thrilling 

 and captivating color. 



ORANGE JADE (Wise, '63) M. 36" Each $2.00 



A deep golden orange self, near to true orange, including the beard. 

 The form is excellent and the intense color should make it a striking 

 clump in the garden. HM AIS, 1964. 



ORANGE PARADE (Hamblen, '61) EM. 36" Each $5.00 



A vivid and moderately laced and ruffled orange bi-tone, between 

 Marigold and Spanish orange. A startling and rich orange effect. 

 Wide, flaring falls and closed standards. Fairly early. HM AIS, 1962; 

 AM, 1964. Shown on page 45. 



ORCHID BROCADE (Rudolph, '65) EM. 36" Each $5.00 



Well named, because of its color and the extra heavy texture of the 

 very broad petals. The general color effect is rich orchid-rose, with a 

 slight beige flush. Fine in every way. HM AIS, 1966; AM, 1968. See 

 page 44. 



ORINDA (Gualter, '68) ML. 36" Each $12.00 



A crisp, ruffled blend of rose and tan, from the unusual cross of 

 Melodrama and Mademoiselle. This latter parent produced Claudia 

 Rene; which in turn has sired a vast number of Gaulter's best and 

 most distinct things. Orinda has smooth hafts of copper-brown on 

 crisp, wavy falls of rose-lilac; the standards are ruffled and closed, a 

 blend of tan and rose. Beard is orange-brown. See page 43. 



OUT YONDER (Wickersham, '69) Each $1 5.00 



We like this best of all we have seen of this type . . . pale blue- 

 almost white— standards and solid indigo blue falls with a slight 

 violet cast. A bit of this deeper color extends part way upward along 

 the mid-ribs of the standards. Beard is white, tipped pale yellow. 

 Perfect form, with domed standards and wide, flaring, wavy falls. 

 Fairly late, lots of large flowers on 36-inch stems, well branched. 

 Shown on page 40. 



PACIFICA (J. Nelson, '68) M. 36" Each $1 2.00 



This gigantic French blue with darker lavender-violet shading in 

 the central area is derived from (Demetria x French Flair) x High 

 Above. The falls are extremely wide and stand out almost horizon- 

 tally. Beard is pale yellow tipped light blue. The great, flat falls 

 summon up thoughts of a Japanese Iris and the color is a lovely 

 symphony of pastel blues and violets. Many flowers to the 3-£oot stalks. 



PACIFIC PANORAMA CSexfon, '60) M. 40" Each $2.00 



A spectacular sea-blue self of great-size and imposing carriage. The 

 ruffled flowers are produced on 40-inch, well branched stems. Beard 

 is yellow topped white. HM AIS, 1961; AM, 1963. Dykes Medal 1965. 

 Shown on page 17. 



PALISADES (Plough, '64) EM. 36" Each $7.50 



A new and relatively unfamiliar addition -to the orange ranks. Stand- 

 ards are pink to poppy-red, blending to tangerine-orange at the edges. 

 Fall sare orange with a pink area around the tangerine beard. Early 

 to late. HM AIS, 1966. 



PALO DUROS (Tompkins, '67) ML. 36" Each $10.00 



Here is a new dark, but richly glowing red of giant size, with spread- 

 ing falls, and domed standards. A brilliant and glossy piece of color. 



PALOMINO (Hall, '52) EM. 36" Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



The falls are pale i\ory with an amber-copper shoulder and thin 

 band all the way around. Beard is like a bonfire. For size, form, 

 substance, branching and truly marvelous color, this is indeed su- 

 preme. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954. See page 25. 



PARISIAN BLUE (Schreiner, '65) ML. 40" Each $5.00 



Bright and uniform azure blue without haft markings and of serenely 

 fashioned form. With petals of great width and 40-inch stems ideally 

 branched, we think it probably the best of all the Schreiner blues. 

 HM AIS, 1966.
