APRICOT DANCER (Noyd, '58) Each $2.50 



A late flowering orange-apricot self, from a cross of June Bride and 

 Temple Bells. The horizontal and flaring falls are nicely fringed 

 with lace. Substance is extra heavy. Here is a decidedly rich piece of 

 color which won the HM of the AIS in 1959. 



ARCTIC FLAME (Fay, '60) Each $15.00 



This breathtakingly beautiful big white has heavy texture and much 

 ruffling. The beard is thick and wide, and glows with a fiery reddish 

 tinge. A stalwart grower, the 35-inch stalks sturdy and well branched. 

 HM AIS, 1960; AM, 1962. 



ARCTIC SKIES (Fay, '60) Each $7.50 



A large white with blue tinted standards coming from Cliffs of Dover 

 and Butterfly Blue parentage. A lovely and fresh looking flower, al- 

 though the blue cast of the standards is rather phantom-like. HM 

 AIS, 1961. 



ARGUS PHEASANT (DeForest, '48) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A smooth soft brown which has become justly famous. Deeper in 

 tone and more metallic in finish than Pretty Quadroon . . . they 

 form a team of the two most beautiful brown Irises of the day. 

 Huge flowers with broad flaring falls and wide standards; orange- 

 brown beard. 38 inches tall. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1950; Dykes Medal. 

 1952. Shown on page 47. 



ASPENGLOW (Loomis, '56) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Vivid cadmium yellow self, the standards pleated or tucked near the 

 base. This fine, large deep yellow is quite late and thus aids in ex- 

 tending the Iris season. One of the "Five Iris of the Year" for 1962. 

 HM AIS, 1958. 



BANG (Craig, '55) Each $1.50 



A new red with a name in keeping with the impression it creates in 

 the garden! Broad falls of brilliant color and heavy substance, slight- 

 ly waved; it owes its fine form to Cordovan, one of its parents. Height 

 36 inches. HM AIS, 1955, AM 1960. See page 15. One of the "Five 

 Iris of the Year" for 1963. 



BAZAAR (Schreiner, '55) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A glorified version of Raspberry Ribbon, far more brilliant and 

 more deeply colored. The blooms are very large, on 36-inch stems. 

 The picture on page 48 gives you a good idea of this new plicata. 

 HM AIS, 1956. 



BEECHLEAF (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



This seedling of Pretty Quadroon has attracted a lot of attention for 

 the past several seasons. It is more ruffled than its parent and, while 

 bearing some resemblance because of its brownish hue, it is more 

 coppery and is enlivened by a violet undertone. The beard is orange- 

 brown. Very large blooms on 3-foot stalks. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1959. 

 Pictured on page 17. 



BENGALI (Kleinsorge, '61) Each $6.00 



A large, bright old rose-red self with amber to copper blendings 

 about the haft and near the outer edges of the falls. The extra large 

 standards have heavy mid-ribs which also carry this coppery suffu- 

 sion plus a hint of green at the base. Beard is bright bronze-yellow. 

 Luminous and bright. 3 feet. 



BIG TIME (Lapham, '51) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



This is a big new deep red with a rosy cast in the standards. Falls 

 are velvety and appear almost black-red in certain lights. Hafts 

 are brownish and the beard is bronzy orange-yellow. Huge in size 

 and a good grower. 3y 2 feet, well branched. 



ROMULUS 



DAWN CREST 



AZURITE (Sass, '60) Each $7.50 



A new and distinct white plicata pattern, the borders very lightly 

 stitched blue and the style arms and crests almost solid moorish 

 blue. Flowers are of thick texture and the stems well branched. 

 Large, bright and sparkling! HM AIS, 1961. 



BLACK CASTLE (Schreiner, '53) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



As Dave Hall has become famous for pinks, the Schreiners have been 

 foremost in the production of blacks. Here is one they describe as 

 having reached "almost the limit of this coloring" and very close to 

 jet. The orange beard is indescribably rich. 32 inches. 



BALLERINA (Hall, '51) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A very large, ruffled, wide petaled flamingo-pink self with deep 

 orange beard. It is a medium to light tone of pink . . . not pale but 

 having plenty of color, a shade lighter than Cherie. Petals are thick 

 and lustrous, the form ideal. Husky stems 3 feet tall, with excellent 

 branching. HM AIS, 1951; AM, 1953. See page 56. 



BLACK HILLS (Fay, '51) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A very tall ebony-black Iris with lots of bloom, widely spaced 

 on the stem. We have grown it to a height of 4 feet. Just about 

 the same depth as Black Forest, larger and twice the stature. AM 

 AIS, 1954.
