FLASHING GEM 



BREATHLESS (Schirmer, '62) Each $1 5.00 



Here is a new Flamingo pink of large size and spreading form 

 which captured the attention and admiration of judges and critics 

 at the New York convention of the American Iris Society. A medium 

 tone of pink but vivid and lively in effect. The haft is flushed with 

 peach and the beard is coral. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1963. 



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



From pink breeding came this deep rose-to-raspberry affair! While 

 the picture does not show it, freshly opened flowers sport a small 

 blue blaze just below the beard. This disappears on the mature 

 blossom. Very tall and very late, with a geranium-red beard. Shown 

 on page 26. 



BRIGHT FORECAST (Hamblin, '60) Each $10.00 



Ruffles and lace in blazing golden yellow. The heavy beard is deep 

 orange. Petals are broad and possess the quality of hammered and 

 crimped metal. This is outstanding as a mass of brilliant gold in 

 the garden. 34 inches; quite late. 



BRIGHTSIDE (Schreiner, '61) Each $12.00 



Pale, shimmering lemon yellow that is huge, frothy and ivory 

 smooth. The broad petals are heavily laced at the edges. Fine 

 form and branching are added good features of this sparkling 

 new Iris. HM AIS, 1962. 



BRILLIANT STAR (Hall, '61) Each $15.00 



As Golden Garland was a progenitor of Golden Years, so Frost and 

 Flame brought into being a race for larger, more fully formed and 

 flashingly red-bearded whites. True, there are many now being intro- 

 duced. Some of them are lacking in vigor, however, and others have 

 poor substance. We regard this as the finest red-bearded white we 

 have grown or seen. It is very broad petaled, full and rather rounded 

 but not drooping, beautifully branched and very large. Quite early, 

 36 inches. See page 31. HM AIS, 1962. 



BROADWAY STAR (Schreiner, '57) Each $2.00 



Cream standards and rose-red falls combine to fashion a totally dif- 

 ferent and refreshingly beautiful creation. Hafts are almost free of 

 any venation, lending sharp contrast to the bright ivory standards. 

 38 inches tall, classically formed and large in size. HM AIS, 1957. See 

 page 19. 



BRONZE BELL (Schreiner, '57) Each $3.50 



Reddish copper-bronze in a huge flower of perfect form and large 

 size. The stalks are heavy and well branched, with many blossoms 

 per stem. It is taller, redder and better branched than its parent, 

 Inca Chief. HM AIS, 1957; AM, 1959. Plant patent No. 1728. 



SIVA-SIVA 



BUCKEROO (Kleinsorge, '61) Each $6.00 



An Iris of gigantic proportions, which in both color and form brings 

 to mind the great rodeo spectacles of the Far West. This is a seedling 

 of Toast an' Honey; larger, lighter in color and with more 

 horizontal falls. These are almost as large as a small dinner plate, 

 very wide and almost flat. Color is light cocoa-brown with just a hint 

 of violet in the center. Big foliage and heavy stalks are in keeping 

 with the stout-hearted air of this flower.
