the PBiSnnial 



Color? Why, these new kinds offer the most 

 exciting color range of any flower that grows. 

 There are luscious pinks, great blooms of solid 

 golden yellow, Jersey creams, blues of the sky 

 and of deep waters, soft tans and chocolate- 

 browns, henna-reds and richest burgundies — 

 and there are whites as clean as freshly fallen 

 snow, sparkling coppers and melting shades of 

 apricot. Some come in marbled patterns, 

 others are delicately stitched or sanded. Some 

 are ruffled, others are smartly tailored. Many 

 are gigantic in size — 7 inches in diameter! 

 There are tall ones, short ones, and a host of 

 average height. You can have them early, 

 mid-season and late . . . and at a price to suit 

 the beginner with a modest purse or the 

 connoisseur with unlimited means. Yes, the 

 Iris is truly the perennial supreme . . . and 

 so easy to grow!

NEW INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1975 



BOSKY DELL (Gaulter, 1975) M. 40" $25.00 



For life and light in your garden of Iris or your perennial bed, 

 try this new clean white flower, just faintly tinged with blue in 

 the standards, the color deepening at the base and stylearms. The 

 big wide falls are slightly fluted at the edges and there is a bit 

 of gold striping in the haft. The white beard is tinged gold also, 

 presenting an overall glow like a shaft of sunlight through a 

 woodsy glen. The parentage is Cup Race x High Sierra. Seed- 

 ling #70-55 



COUNTRYMAN (Gaulter, 1975) M. 36" $25.00 



From several generations of seedlings, such as Royal Gold and 

 West Coast, comes this ruffled medium-yellow self with hafts 

 flushed white, spilling on the center of the falls. The yellow 

 beard adds to the richness of the overall appearance and the 

 wide flare gives it a strength of character of loyalty, and esprit 

 de corps. The stalks are well branched, excellent substance in 

 flowers and blooms over long period of time. Seedling #71-13 



MILL RACE (Gaulter, 1975) ML. 40" $25.00 



^0t^ Here is a new lovely wavy-edged, clear delft-blue- 



/* not fluted, not crinkled. The falls are slightly 

 deeper in color, white in the throat, with a white 

 beard. The upright standards mesh at the top. 

 Branching on this flower is very even and the blos- 

 soms do not overlap. This Iris has a very gentle flare 

 and blooms just past mid season. Seedling #70-112 



TUPELO HONEY (Gaulter, 1975) M. 35" $25.00 



"Honey-colored" wouldn't do justice as a description of this 

 deep, clear orange flower, the standards tipped white. The falls 

 are slightly deeper in color and the beard tangerine. The whole 

 flower is a happy blending of Brownie Scout x Spanish Afifair. 

 The tightly rolled conical standards and slight flare of the falls 

 are a replica of a whirling Spanish dancer at a fiesta. Seedling 

 #70-37
