'My Iris order arrived in fine condition. I always know that I will 

 have lovely bloom in the Spring from Cooley's Iris." 



Mrs. E. Emberson, Va. 



Shipshape $8.00 



ASPENGLOW (Loomis, '56) L. 40" $1 .00 



Vivid cadmium yellow self, the standards pleated near the base. This 

 fine, large deep yellow is quite late and thus aids in extending the Iris 

 season. HM, '58. 



AUGUST MOON (Schmelzer, '62) M. 34" $2.00 

 Cool, greenish cream of heavy, leather-like substance. Flowers are 

 of good form with lacy ruffles and the beard is deep yellow. HM, '64. 

 See page 40. 



BABBLING BROOK (Keppel, '66) M. 38" $3.50 



A welcome and worthy addition to the blue class with color even bluer 

 than its parent, Galilee. This light, French blue is invariably singled 

 out as "that very blue" iris. Has a light texture veining from its 

 other parent. Symphony. Pale lemon yellow beard. Exceptional for its 

 fine form. Large and nicely ruffled. HM, '67; AM, '69. Dykes Medal '72. 

 Shown on page 20. 



BACCARAT (Gaulter, '67) M. 36" $3.00 

 A carnival of color, blended graduations of brown, amber and light 

 purple in the heavily ruffled standards, and extremely broad, flat, flar- 

 ing falls of bright violet banded golden brown. Hafts are solid light 

 brown and the beard is light orange. Large blossoms; well branched, 

 heavy stems. HM, '68. See back cover. 



BARRY MORELL (Carpenter, '71) EM. 34" $5.00 



All over color effect in the garden is rosy mauve. Semi-fiaring falls 

 with white beards, yellow in the heart. Both standards and falls 

 ripple, and with a touch of heliotrope in center of falls make good 

 color value for the garden. 



BASIC BLACK (Hager, '71) M. 36" $7.50 

 A fine bitone with rich dark purple standards wide flaring 

 falls, fluted with matching beards. Lovely form with beau- 

 tifully finished blossoms. 



BAYBERRY CANDLE (DeForest, '69) ML. 38" $7.50 



A richy, brassy green bicolor with chartreuse lime standards 

 and brighter gold and olive-green falls. A unique and showy 

 color with excellent fonti. Beards are radiant gold. HM, 

 '70; AM, '72. See page 9.
