DEEP BLACK 



TALLY-HO (Hall, '49) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



The upper part of the falls is close to the deep coloring seen in bright 

 fuchsia colored Orchids. The domed standards and lower part of the 

 falls are lighter. This is something new, pleasing and different! The 

 32-inch stems are stout but a little closely branched for such a large 

 flower. HM AIS, 1957. 



TECHNY CHIMES (Bro. Charles, '55) Each $2.00 



A gorgeous light yellow with very deep red-orange beard. From similar 

 breeding as the new Garden Gold, but a different shade of yellow and 

 very unlike it in form. This is certainly a striking Iris and the branch- 

 ing is a special feature. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1957; tied for Dykes Medal 

 in 1960. 36 inches. See back cover. 



TEMPLE BELLS (Hall, '52) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



Larger and more metallic colored Hi-Time— a sort of apricot-yellow with 

 no peachy undertone. The blooms are extra large, the falls flaring way 

 out and then drooping gracefully with a slight ruffle. Note the heavy 

 red-orange beard. A seedling of Dolly Varden, considered by Mr. Hall as 

 his finest golden apricot self, 36 inches, well branched. HM AIS, 1952. 

 See page 52. 



THOTMES III (Kleinsorge, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Years ago we introduced Tobacco Road- Since then the Kleinsorge 

 "browns" have become known and grown the world over . . . deep 

 browns, pale tans, sultry blends in many hues. This one is medium 

 light in tone, a smooth self of glistening golden tan with a light bronze 

 beard. It is a gigantic Iris with extra broad falls and heavy texture. 40 

 inches tall. HM AIS, 1951; AM, 1953. One of the "Five Iris of the Year" 

 for 1959. Shown on page 50. 



TOAST AN' HONEY (Kleinsorge, '58) Each $2.00 



An altogether different tan and brown Iris. A full and generously pro- 

 portioned flower, with wide segments, the falls flaring and waved at the 

 edges. General color is rich light golden brown, like butter and honey, 

 and the falls are shaded deeper toast-brown, especially on the edges and 

 near the hafts. It is of stocky build, well branched, with very large 

 blooms produced on 36-inch stems. HM AIS, 1955- See page 14. 



TOLL GATE (Cook, '59) Each $6.00 



From the same line of breeding as Whole Cloth. Standards are palest 

 blue— almost white— the falls dark violet with a long yellow beard ex- 

 tending across the lighter haft. Very tall, with many large flowers per 

 stem; widely spaced, it should be very valuable to hvbridizers. HM AIS, 

 1959; AM, 1962. Well illustrated on page 59. 



TOMECO (Suiter, '60) Each $7.50 



Smoothly burnished oxblood red self without haft markings. Tailored 

 in appearance, the big rounded standards domed and closed and the 

 broad falls semiflaring. Bronze yellow beard. Well branched and sun 

 resistant. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1962. 



TOP FAVORITE (Schreiner, '57) Each $2.00 



Colossal orchid-pink, derived from Pink Plume and Pathfinder. The 

 beard is white and there is a soft overlay of amber-buff at the center of 

 the flower- Color is clear and bright and the blossoms are ideally formed, 

 flaring and ruffled at the outer edges. It is tall, strong and branched to 

 perfection. HM AIS, 1957. 



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



A more deeply colored Temple Bells, more apricot than yellow. Stand- 

 ards and falls are practically the same shade but the beard is fiery 

 orange-red and very thick and heav y. Many visitors prefer it over Temple 

 Bells. Height 34 inches. HM AIS, 1953; AM, 1955. Illustrated on page 49.
