ROCKET RUST 



ALLiNE ROGERS (Kleinsorge, '50) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



The form of this flower resembles Cascade Splendor, one of its par- 

 ents, but the color inclines more to pink or rose, with just a sug- 

 gestion of ashes of roses in its cast. There is considerable gold ni 

 the blending of color, especially near the haft. Style arms and beard 

 are both golden yellow. Falls are wide and quite flat, standards up- 

 right and closed, the entire flower heavily ruffled. 34 inches. HM 

 AIS, 1951. 



ALPENROSE (Schreiner, '59) Each $3.50 



Silvery, iridescent lavender-rose— a sort of ashes-of-roses tone— with 

 a dusty beard in perfect harmony. Stems reach 38 inches and the 

 broad falls flare gracefully. A quiet, restful and serene hue in a lar°e 

 and well formed Iris. ffivIAIS, 1961. 



ALPINE BLUE (Schreiner, '62) Each $10.00 



Pale, yet intensely blue coloring with precisely sculptured classical 

 form. A sheen of silvery dust makes the perfectly formed lar^e 

 blooms sparkle as if drenched with morning dew. Three flowers 

 open at once on 36-inch stems. 



AMETHYST FLAME (Schreiner, '58) Each $3.50 



Immense in size and elegant in form, a curiously tinted blend of 

 lavender or light violet and rosy heliotrope. The "shoulders" of the 

 falls carry an overlay of chestnut and the beard is almost white. 

 Xicelv ruffled. 38 inches tall, medium late. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1960. 

 Dvkes Medal. 1963. Plant Patent No. 1793. See page 7. 



ANNETTE (Hall, '55) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A tawny deep rose with widely flaring, almost flat falls. The entire 

 flower carries a coppery cast but the center is all aglow with the 

 brilliant red beards. Quite different from other Hall things. 34 

 inches tall. HM AIS, 1956. See page 27. 



"Our order arrived in fine condition. Thank you for 

 your very generous bonus. Your lovely plants always add so 

 much beauty to our garden."

ALLEGIANCE (Cook, '58) Each $5.00 



This is certainly a masterpiece, from an Iris breeder whose skill has 

 produced a long line of Iris of distinction and highest quality. The 

 giant flowers are of deepest navy blue, overlaid with velvet, the 

 standards are silky and lustrous. The beards are medium blue tipped 

 lemon-chrome. Color is even and solid clear into the throat. 40 

 inches; late. HM AIS. 1958; A.M. 1960. Shown above. 



ANTHEM (Schreiner, '58) Each $2.00 



The richness of the fuchsia-purple tone is intensified by a generous 

 margin of bronze around the huge falls. There is also a subtle in- 

 fusion of this same bronze tint in the taffeta-lite standards. Metallic 

 plum might well describe the general color effect of this new giant. 

 Beard is lemon. 40 inches; fairly early. HM AIS, 1960. 



APPLE VALLEY (Deforest, '58) Each $3.00 



Almost white, flushed pink, with deeper pink cast about the hafts. 

 The pink-tinted beard intensifies the pinkish glow of an otherwise 

 almost white, very beautiful and different flower. Verv large, with 

 broad petals and tall stalks. HM AIS. 1900.
