SWEETHEART (Hall, '59) Each $2.50 



A very large "baby-ribbon "-pink self 

 even to the beard. Flower is full with 

 very wide hafts and the petal texture is 

 like satin. The pink beard lends an un- 

 usual touch which accents the purity 

 and softness of the delicate color. This 

 has been widely used by Mr. Hall in his 

 breeding program. 30 inches. HM AIS, 

 1961. 



SWEET REFRAIN (Hall, '56) 



Each $2.00 



Here we have an addition to the popu- 

 lar and ever-increasing list of new pinks. 

 Not only does it have more depth of 

 color than most others introduced up to 

 this time, but it also possesses great 

 width of petals and widely flaring falls. 

 We think Sweet Refrain is destined to 

 be one of the most admired of all the 

 pinks. Height 3 feet, well branched and 

 above average in size. HM AIS, 1956. 



SYLVAN STREAM (Schreiner, '61) 



Each $7.50 



Utmost clarity of color combined with a 

 smooth enamel-like finish gives this new 

 blue remarkable garden value. It has 

 size, substance, unexcelled branching 

 and many buds to the 38-inch stem. Add 

 a touch of ruffling and you come up 

 with about all one could ask for in an 

 Iris! HM AIS, 1962. 



SYMPHONY (Hinkle, '58) Each $5.00 

 Gracefully ruffled sea-blue self, slightly 

 lighter in the center of the falls and 

 with some darker texture veining. Pet- 

 als are wide and full, crisp and firm in 

 substance. Midseason; 38 inches. HM 

 AIS, 1958; AM, 1963. 



TABU (Schreiner, '54) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



An ebony-blue-black self; even the beard 

 is virtually black. Petals are glossy and 

 shine in the sun. A larger, taller and 

 much better formed Black Forest. 

 Height 38 inches. HM AIS, 1954- 



TAHITI SUNRISE (Ernst, 1963) 



Each $15.00 



Beautifully tailored and perfectly pro- 

 portioned pink with an undertone of 

 salmon. The heavy Saturn red beard 

 and the very broad falls are remindful 

 of Fairy Fable but the shade of pink is 

 entirely different. The blooms are extra 

 large in size, especially for a pink and 

 the texture is like heavy porcelain. We 

 regard it as one of the best so far, in 

 every way. Sturdy 36-inch stems, well 

 branched. H.C. AIS, 1962. Shown on 

 page 8. 



TAHOLAH (Gibson, '56) Each $2.50 



The picture on page 52 will convey a 

 much more complete and accurate de- 

 scription of this new plicata than simple 

 words can tell. The ground color is 

 creamy ivory, the standards heavily 

 shaded cinnamon-red and the falls are 

 evenly brushed with this same russet- 

 red tint on the haft and at the outer 

 edges. Long lasting, very large, on stout 

 3-foot stems. The Indian name means 

 "Village by the Sea." HM AIS, 1956; 

 AM, 1958- 



TALLCHIEF (Deforest, '56) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Bright, richly glowing red self, with 

 brilliant orange beard. By the Ridgeway 

 color chart it is Brazil-red to carmine. 

 A real advance in red Iris, tall, and 

 very well branched. HM AIS, 1957. See 

 page 21.
