NORTHWESTERN (Cook, '51) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Pure royal purple self, including the haft and beard. Flowers are 

 large, domed, and the wide falls flare gracefully. Many judges regard 

 this as the best genuine purple Iris in commerce today. It is a husky 

 grower and a rapid increaser. Many blooms and wide branching. 

 HM AIS, 1951; AM, 1953. 



NUEVO LAREDO (Kleinsorge, '56) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This distinct Iris is an odd shade of coppery tan with suffusion of 

 violet and brown. It is very large in size, the petals waved and curled 

 in the manner of Cascade Splendor, to which it is related. The 

 growth is vigorous, with tall stems and ideal branching. The picture 

 on page 51 is a very good likeness. Named for the colorful Mexican 

 town on the Rio Grande. Height 3y 2 to 4 feet. 



OH BOY! (Grinter, '59) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Waxy chrome-yellow, a complete self, very large in size and of extra 

 heavy petal texture. This was sent to us for trial along with Blue 

 Grotto and they make a pair of excellent companions. Heavy stems 

 and foliage. 3 feet tall. 



ORELIO (DeForest, '47) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



Deep crimson-brown, more red than brown. Obtained from Casa 

 Morena crossed with Garden Flame, which will convey some idea as 

 to the color of this rich Iris. It is large, tall and well branched. HM 

 AIS, 1948. Shown on page 55. 



PACEMAKER (Lapham, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



One of the best red Iris of all. The color is uniform in standards 

 and falls without veins on the haft; a warm red tone, on the orange 

 rather than the purple or wine side. The rich beard is bronzy 

 gold. 36 inches in height. HM AIS, 1950. 



PALOMINO (Hall, '52) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Related to the pinks but the only suggestion of pink is in the stand- 

 ards. The falls are pale ivory with an amber-copper shoulder and 

 thin band all the way around. Beard is like a bonfire, rich, redder 

 and more dominant than the illustration on page 47, although 

 this is really a very excellent portrayal of this variety. For size, 

 form, substance, branching and truly marvelous color this is in- 

 deed supreme. Height 3 ft. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954. 



PARTY PINK (Crosby, '59) Each $2.50 



Here is another variation in the constantly growing assemblage of 

 what was— not too many years ago— a lean and seemingly overlooked 

 color class. Without the yellow-salmon influence of most kinds this 

 one inclines to the orchid side and the prominent beard is in 

 harmony but of deeper tone. 38-40 inches tall, large and loaded 

 with flowers. 



DAVE'S ORCHID 



OLYMPIC TORCH (Schreiner, '58) Each $3.50 



This grand coppery yellow-bronze is our choice of all the Schreiner 

 introductions. It has great size, moderate ruffling, lovely even color- 

 ing, and perfect height and branching. 40 inches; late. HM AIS. 

 1958; AM, 1960. Illustrated on page 36. 



ONE DESIRE (Shoop, '60) Each $15.00 



Nearly all pink Iris carry a certain amount of peach, salmon or apri- 

 cot blended together. Here is one which is devoid of these influences 

 and in some quarters is regarded as the nearest approach to real 

 pink. Color is rich and deep with the beard in harmony. 34 inches. 

 HM AIS, 1960; AM, 1963. 



ORANGE BANNER (Wafers, '55) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Handsome and brilliant orange-yellow of very large size; it is, in fact, 

 one of the largest of all. The heavy beard is slightly deeper in shade 

 than the rest of the flower. Petals are broad and well formed. 34 

 inches. HM AIS, 1955.
