HARBOR BLUE (Schreiner, '54) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This grand blue, of startling size, has been winning fame both in 

 this country and abroad. The great flowers are borne on husky 

 stalks reaching almost four feet and they hold up in all kinds of 

 weather. HM AIS, 1955 AM, 1957. 



HARVEST SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge, '56) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A smooth blend of gold and apricot, the standards solid apricot 

 faintly tinted rose, the falls bright old gold shading to apricot near 

 the margins. Beard is orange-yellow. The flowers are well tailored, 

 just slightly waved at the edges of the falls. Substance is thick and 

 the petal surface glistens with myriad golden particles. A clump 

 produces lots of blooms thus making it an ideal variety for mass 

 effect in the garden. 3 feet; mid-season. In color on page 55. 



HAWAIIAN BREEZE (Hall, '61) Each $6.00 



A delicately colored flower that is neither pink nor mauve, but is 

 from pink breeding and could be called a pink blend. It is so differ- 

 ent from others of this series, so enchanting in its pastel shadings 

 and so excitingly unique with its decidedly pink beard! Large, well 

 formed and nicely branched. 3 feet. See page 35. HM AIS, 1963. 



HEARTBEAT (Lapham, '58) Each $5.00 



Among the vast number of pink Iris now in commerce, this is 

 real unique. Not only is the "La France" shade quite apart from 

 others, but the heavy pink beard extending far down on the falls 

 is unlike any Iris we know. Rare breeding opportunity here! 36 

 inches; quite late. HM AIS, 1958. 



HEAVENLY DAYS (Wickersham, 1963) Each $15.00 



Too many blues? Not with the quality, form, size and crisp clear 

 June sky hue of this one! Standards are wide and upright, practically 

 closed at the top, waved and of heavy substance. The falls are extra 

 broad and flaring, set off with a creamy white beard. This is a very 

 close approach to Flax blue in a flower that has everything. Good 

 branching and very long lasting. Height 3 feet. Shown on page 5. 



HELEN COLLINGWOOD (K. Smith, '49) Each $1.00 



A very brilliant Iris in the neglecta class. Standards are light lavender, 

 the falls bright violet-purple ... a decided contrast. Stalks are 40 

 inches tall, sturdy and vigorous. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1952. Shown 

 on page 51. 



HELEN NOVAK (Hinkle, '58) Each $5.00 



A ruffled medium blue of intense color, lovely billowy fullness of 

 form and delightful ruffling. The beard is tipped blue. Great 

 size and 38-inch, nicely branched stalks are additional complements. 

 It is free flowering and a fast increaser. HM AIS, 1958. 



HENNA STITCHES (Gibson, '61) Each $7.50 



Well illustrated on page 37. a very bright combination of frosty 

 white and gleaming henna-copper. The petals are gracefully flounced 

 and ruffled. A feature which enlivens this new plicata is the metallic- 

 gleam of the reddish copper margins and stylearms. Beard is dusty 

 old gold, lightly tipped magenta. Hafts and base of standards arc 

 blended gold. Here is a dazzling beautv with fragrant, spicy odor. 36 

 inches. HM AIS, 1962. 



HER LADYSHIP (Palmer, '56) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



If you admire blue Iris you will fall in love with this very large me- 

 dium blue, remindful of a regal lady with full, semiflaring skirts 

 Standards are conical and firmlv closed. 36 inches and over in height. 

 HM AIS, 1956. 



HIGH ABOVE (Deforest, '61) Each $15.00 



This was the sensation of the 1960 American Iris Society convention 

 and will go down as one of the late Fred DeForest's masterpieces. 

 Color is pale sky blue, smooth and even, the texture like satin. Very 

 spreading falls, waved at the edges, seven to nine blooms to the 36- 

 inch stalk. HM AIS, 1962. Shown on page 32. 



HUNTSMAN (Sass, '55) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



This blackish red-brown is seldom seen and is but little known. The 

 ruffled flowers are large and rounded in form, self colored, the beard 

 deep bronze. There are no markings on the falls. Medium height, to 

 30 inches. HM AIS, 1955. 



ILLUSTRIOUS (Hall, '53) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Our latest blue Iris. Blossoms are of very large size, uniform rich 



deep blue— almost indigo— and a clump is a wonderful sight. The 



smooth haft is brownish and the beard is inconspicuous. Widely 

 branched, three feet tall. 



MARY RANDALL 



IMPERIAL WOMAN (K. Smith, '58) Each $6.00 



An odd shade of violet-blue with underlying amethyst cast; tall and 

 imperial in carriage with exceptionally wide, large flaring falls which 

 are lightly ruffled. Beard is pale violet and there are flecks of tur- 

 quoise on the crests. Medium late, 40 inches in height. HM AIS, 

 1961. Shown on page 5. 



INCA CHIEF {Mitsch, '52) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Burnished golden bronze, evenly colored throughout. The ruffled 

 flowers, with verv broad hafts, are of immense size and are produced 

 on heavy stalks. Height about 3 ft. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954. See page 

 52. 



INDIGLOW (Schortman, '59) Each $12.50 



Deepest violet-blue, velvety and brilliant, gigantic in size and fault- 

 less in form. What more can one ask? Placement on the heavy stalks 

 is ideal and they will reach a height of 40 inches. Few plants avail- 

 able. HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1961. 



'7 have all your catalogues since I began dealing with you in 1943 and the 

 plants received from you over a period of twenty years have always been beauti- 

 ful and entirely satisfactory. They still give us real pleasure."
