TOLL GATE (Cook, '59) M. 40" Each $1 .50 



From the same line of breeding as ^Vhole Cloth. Standards are palest 

 blue— almost white— the falls dark violet with a long yellow beard 

 extending across the lighter haft. Very tall, with many flowers per 

 stem, widely spaced. HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1962. Well illustrated on 

 page 18. 



TOMECO (Suiter, '60) M. 36" Each $1.50 



Smoothly burnished oxblood red self without haft markings. Tailored 

 in appearance, the big rounded standards domed and closed and the 

 broad falls semiflaring. Bronze yellow beard. Well branched and 

 sun resistant. HM AIS, 1962. Cook-Lapham Award for best Red Iris 

 in 1965. See page 53. 



TOP BILLING (Nelson, '69) ML. Each $20.00 



A startling new white with "house-afire" red beard. Borne on heavy, 

 stalwart stems reaching up to four feet in height, the very large, 

 ideally formed flowers have the finish of white porcelain and are of 

 extra thick substance. The beard is heavy and almost blood red. This 

 is doubtless the greatest attention getter in the Nelson garden which 

 contains a \ast number of the best and newest things in Irisdom. 

 Shown on page 41.
