FIRE DANCE (Fay, '47) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A much deeper, richer and taller Firecracker. Fire Dance is a bur- 

 gundy-red plicata, both standards and falls heavily marked all over 

 with dark wine-red, the ground color buff. Flowers are round and 

 full, the falls flaring. A prolific bloomer, 40 inches tall. HM AIS 

 1947. 



FIRE MAGIC (Schreiner, '62) Each $15.00 



Big and bold, tall and faultlessly branched; a gleaming, fiery, 

 copper-red with widely flaring falls and large closed standards. Ex- 

 ceptionally red for an Iris and with the sun on it or through it, Fire 

 Magic really lives up to its name! 42 inches. HM AIS, 1963. 



FIRENZE (O. Brown, '58) Each $4.00 



A bright violet-blue self with startling contrasting beard of tangerine 

 red. Flaring falls and wide hafts help to display this unusual com- 

 bination. Height to 40 inches. HM AIS, 1958. 



PATRICIAN 



FIRST VIOLET (DeForest, '52) Each $1.50 



Lovely clear light violet self, the standards, falls and even the 

 beard being of uniform hue. Winner of Dykes Medal in 1956. 



FLAG SUSP (Tompkins, '60) Each $5.00 



A true light violet blue self, including the beard. The lovely, cool, 

 clear color has such luminous quality as to make it outstandingly 

 different. Perfect in every way— flower, stalk and plant growth 

 Height 40 inches. HM AIS, 1961. 



FLASHING GEM (Gibson, 1963) Each $15.00 



Very tall and very large bright yellow with a band of bright rose- 

 purple surrounding each fall. The standards are yellow shading into 

 the same rose-purple trim on the falls. Actually more brilliant than 

 our picture on page 11 seems to portray— but this gives you a fair 

 idea. Note the purple tips on the style arms. Widely branched and 

 blooms over a very long season. 40 inches in height. 



LOVELY LETTY 



FIRE CHIEF (Galyon, '59) Each $3.00 



The most brilliant variegata, the deep yellow standards clean and 

 clear, the very red toned falls large and devoid of haft markings. 

 Stalks will often reach to four feet in height. HM AIS, 1959. 



FIRECRACKER (Hall, '43) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



A glowing bright burgundy-red plicata, with yellow trim. Well 

 named, it is one of the flashiest things in any Iris collection. The 

 fairly large flowers have good substance and are carried on stout 

 32-inch steins. HM AIS, 1943. Pictured on page 47. 



FLUTED COPPER (Kleinsorge, '57) Each $1.50 



Carrying on the long line of bronze, brown and tan Iris for which 

 the Doctor has become so well known, this distinct one is in metallic 

 shades of hammered copper. Both the standards and falls are bright 

 coppery tan, curled and crinkled, broad and in good balance. The 

 beard is bronzy orange. Height 34-36 inches. Pictured in color on 

 page 19. 



FLUTED HAVEN (Reynolds, '58) Each $15.00 



A swirly and frilly big white of heavy substance. This bears some 

 resemblance to Celestial Snow but is more on the creamy side. The 

 flaring falls are delightfully fluted. Quite early; 35 inches. AM, 1962. 



FOAMING SEAS (Stevens, '60) Each $3.50 



A frothy, ruffly light blue with deeper veins, suggestive of the 

 churning surf against a rocky shore. The beard is bluewhite. Mas- 

 sive flowers, widely spreading in form and freely produced on 3-foot 

 stalks. HM AIS, 1960. 



FORTUNE'S GIFT (Mitsch, '55) Each $2.50 



Huge, 7-inch flowers with very wide and spreading falls, a seedling 

 of Cordovan crossed with Inca Chief. The color is deep but bright 

 metallic brown, with bronze beard. 40 inches in height. HM AIS, 

 1956. 



FORWARD MARCH (Lapham-Wise, '60) Each $4.00 



Deep uniform ruby-crimson with wide and flat flaring falls of velvety 

 texture. There are no haft venations and the dull bronze-yellow 

 beard blends well with the richness and depth of this newcomer to 

 the red fold. 30 inches. 



FOXFIRE (Fox, '53) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A grand golden yellow self which was awarded the President's Cup 

 at the American Iris Society convention in 1957 in Memphis. Very 

 free flowering, the large blooms are of perfect form, and glisten with 

 a metallic sheen. 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1953; AM, 1957. 



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



One of the superb seedlings of Solid Gold, seen and exclaimed over 

 in the Kleinsorge garden since they flowered for the first time. The 

 ground color is deep red-gold, lighting to almost white on the central 

 area of the falls. This is close to the color pattern of Prospector but 

 the flower is almost twice that size and over three feet tall. Picture on 

 page 14 is close to the real thing. HM AIS, 1956. 



FROST and FLAME (Hall, '57) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Mr. Hall worked for several years in an effort to bring out a faultless 

 white with the tangerine beard so closely associated with the flamin- 

 go-pinks. And here we have it! The flowers are large, the stiff stems 

 reach four feet, and the thick petals are as clean and white as a sheet. 

 Every judge who has seen this has been enthusiastic about it. HM 

 AIS, 1957; AM, 1959. Illustrated on back cover.
