PATIENCE BROADWAY STAR SILVERTONE 



DEMETRIA (Hinkle, '58) Each $5.00 



Big and beautiful medium blue, slightly ruffled, with a 

 hint of lavender in the falls. The Hinkle blues — 

 Helen Novak, Symphony, Regina Maria and Demetria— 

 occupy a special niche in the world of topnotch Iris in 

 shades of blue. All are noted for great size, lovely form, 

 breadth of petal and crisp substance. 36 inches. I1M 

 AIS, 1958; AM, 1960. See page 55. 



DESERT SON (DeForest, '59) Each $3.00 



A late flowering, bright chestnut brown from Argus 

 Pheasant lineage. Very large, the petals broad and 

 flaring. Height 40 inches. 



DESERT THISTLE (Gibson, '61) Each $10.00 



While Jim Gibson has become favorably known for his 

 plicatas his breeding program in the field of pinks has 

 been pursued with equal zeal and he is adding lace and 

 fringes! This one is not pink but is a glowing, rosy 

 mauve, or perhaps a captivating blend of lavender-rose, 

 slightly blued, would better describe it. Tall, large and 

 exciting, with wide standards and falls, finely laced. 

 See page 30. HM AIS, 1962. 



DIVINE BLUE (Waters, '59) Each $5.00 



As blue as they come, with porcelain texture and ex- 

 tremely broad form. The shade of blue approaches 

 azure — not pale but a very definite and vivid sky blue. 

 Beard is light yellow. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1959. 



DOLLY VARDEN (Hall, '50) Each 75c,- 3 for $2.00 



A very large light pink with a slight overlay of salmon. 

 It is a self with no haft markings, good form and sub- 

 stance, and it takes the sun surprisingly well. Sturdy and 

 well branched on stems of 38 inches. Has proven a good 

 parent for large pinks. HM AIS, 1950. 



DOT & DASH (Hall, '60) Each $6.00 



This surprising plicata has been an attraction in both 

 the Hall garden and in our own for the past few sea- 

 sons. It has borne the nickname Dave's "Black & White," 

 but was not registered as such. Our illustration is quite 

 accurate, showing the almost solidly colored blackish 

 violet standards and bright falls of pure white with 

 blackish margins. Most of the peppery effect is confined 

 to the outer area of the falls. The beards are inconspicu- 

 ous. Flowers are waved and flaring, well spaced on good 

 branches, and are produced in great profusion. 33-36 

 inches. HM AIS 1960; AM, 1962. See page 57. 



DOTTED SWISS (Sass, '56) Each $2.00 



Acclaimed by many as the finest of the blue and white 

 plicatas. The ground color is sparkling white and the 

 dots and stitchings are decidedly blue, the very large 

 flowers elegantly ruffled. It truly lives up to its 

 name. Over three feet tall, very well branched, blooms 

 early. HM AIS, 1956; AM, 1958. See back cover.
