PRETTY QUADROON 



SON OF SATAN (Wickersham, '62) Each $10.00 



A large blackish-maroon self, with a sooty overlay and bronzy 

 brown beard in harmony. The falls are especially wide at the haft 

 and are semi-flaring. Neither black nor red, the color has been 

 described by some as deepest plum with a mulberry cast. This is 

 a vigorous grower, producing many well-branched 3-foot stems to 

 the clump. A very rich piece of color which has attracted much 

 attention in the Urbana, Ohio garden of the originator. See page 20. 



SORORITY GIRL (Moldovan, '60) Each $10.00 



Ruffled salmon-pink with an almost white area in the center of each 

 fall. Very large blooms with conical swirled standards and large 

 rounded falls. Salmon colored beard. 34 inches. HM MS. 1960.

SPANISH FANDANGO (Kleinsorge, '51) Each $1.00 



A swirling and ruffly affair in brilliant coppery yellow and \ivid 

 chestnut-red. Those familiar with the variety Mexico will recognize 

 this as a lively improvement on that popular and distinct Iris. Spanish 

 f andango is a rampant grower, easily reaching 4 feet, with plenty of 

 good wide branching and lots of big frilled blossoms. HM AIS, 1952. 



SPRING CHARM (Hall, '58) Each $2.00 



Standards are pure bright pink, the falls a sort of buff-pink with 

 heavy reddish beard. This is an exceptionally large Iris, the petals 

 broad and smoothly tailored, rounded in form and the falls flare 

 gracefully. Very late, over three feet tall, with heavy stalks and large 

 foliage. If you like them big, and still not coarse, you will really go 

 for this one! 



SPRING FESTIVAL (Hall, '58) Each $3.00 



This is shown on page 23 in as nearly exact reproduction as 

 our engravers have ever turned out. It is not a deep shade of 

 pink but is rather a definite appleblosjom tint with heavy 

 geranium-red beards. The flowers are very large, faultlessly 

 formed and slightly ruffled. Stems are tall with the blooms 

 widely spaced. It has both character and color of its own 

 which set it apart from such distinguished varieties as May 

 Hall, Lynn Hall and Pink Chimes. Plant growth is robust 

 and it increases rapidlv. Height 36 to 40 inches. HM AIS. 

 1958. 



STEP FORWARD (Hall, '59) Each $3.50 



Truly a gigantic flower of light lavender-blue on 

 imposing stems. Although of great size it appears 

 graceful and attractive because of the waved or 

 ruffled extra wide falls. The stalks will reach 38-40 

 inches and the branching is ideal. Here will be a 

 candidate for first prize in the "largest bloom" class, 

 and a very beautiful one, too. This is an extraordi- 

 nary Iris in a somewhat staid color group. Pictured 

 on page 12. HM AIS. 1961.
