WILD GINGER 



MELODY LANE (Hall, '49) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



Bright glistening golden apricot, although it came from two flamingo- 

 pink seedlings. The color is most attractive and new, with great carry- 

 ing power in the garden. Many of these new shades crop out in the 

 offspring from pink parents. The flowers are very large with some 

 ruffling, good form and a heavy brilliant tangerine beard. Early, 

 with 36-inch stems. HM AIS,, 1950; AM, 1952. See page 58. 



MILLIONAIRE (Brizendine, '58) Each $3.00 



Glamorous light golden brown self, the standards a shade lighter 

 than the falls. There is a metallic shine to the ruffled petals and this 

 gives it much more life than the usual brown or tan varieties. This 

 won special honors at the international Iris trials in Florence, Italy. 

 36 inches. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1960. 



MISS ST. LOUIS (Benson, '58) Each $3.00 



Very deep apricot-pink, the edges of the petals crimped and lacy. In- 

 tensity of coloring is heightened bv the fiery beards and it is a pro- 

 fuse bloomer. 32 inches. HM AIS, 1958. 



CHRISTMAS ANGEL 



MAYTIME (Whiting, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Two tones of bright orchid-pink. This is one of Mrs. Whiting's best— 

 a handsomely formed full flower w^ith lots of color. There is a definite 

 contrast in color of standards and falls, making it a near amoena. 

 36 inches. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1953. Pictured on page 46. 



MAZATLAN (Hall, '59) Each $3.50 



Standards are practically snow-white, flushed amber at the base. Falls 

 have a white ground but blend into blue beyond the center. Beard 

 is red-orange on an amber ground. The entire flower is fringed 

 and shirred at the margins and is from pink breeding. 30-33 inches, 

 well branched. We named it for the exciting fishing resort on the 

 West Coast of Mexico, with its white fleecy clouds, blue skies and 

 waters and brilliant sunsets. 



MELODRAMA (Cook, '56) Each $3.50 



This new break in Iris breeding has attracted wide attention. The 

 standards are pale violet, deepening in tone to the deep lilac of the 

 flaring falls. With its very broad petals and huge size it will be 

 immediately spotted in any planting. 40 inches. HM AIS, 1956; 

 AM, 1958. Runner-up for Dykes Medal, 1961. See page 13.
