NORMANDIE (Coulter, '68) ML. 38" $3.00 



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 20. 



OLYMPIC TORCH (Schreiner, '58) L. 40" $1 .50 



This grand coppery yellow-bronze has great size, moderate ruffling, 

 lovely even coloring, and perfect height and branching. HM, '58; 

 AM, '60. Illustrated on page 32. 



ONE DESIRE (Schoop, '60) EM. 34" $2.50 



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

 apricot blended together. Here is one which is devoid of these 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, 

 ■60; AM, '63. 



ON TARGET (Knopf, '70) ML. 36" $3.00 



A distincti\e lemon yellow self. Nicely ruffled form and heavy sub- 

 stance. Very smooth texture Iris and excellent bud placement. 



OPENING NIGHT (Gibson, '70) M. 38" $1 2.50 



This is the first "black" Iris we ever introduced. VV'ithout any claim 

 that this one is the very best of all, we do know that it has had so 

 much favorable comment from those who have seen it. A near black 

 flower of colossal size, with very wide, spreading falls, ruffled and 

 fluted, not laced, and with a deep violet beard. Heavy, stout, well 

 branched stalks with many blossoms. HM, '71. See page 16. 



ORANGE BANNER (Waters, '55) M. $1 .00 



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 '55. 



ORANGE BEAUTY (Schreiner, '71) M. 30" $1 0.00 



A clear shade of yellow-orange with a flush of pink. Standards ruf- 

 fled and domed. Ruffled and round semi-flaring falls complemented 

 by a tangerine beard. Excellent form and substance with many buds. 

 Vigorous and fertile both ways. HC, '69; HC, '70; HM, '72.
