GYPSY BARON 



L. MERTON GAGE (Lapham, 1942) Each $5.00 



Light raspberry-pink and cream-yellow, the garden effect being a 

 light pink without orchid or lilac tones. Flowers of medium size, 

 produced in great profusion on quite tall stems. It is a rampant 

 grower, with one rhizome often throwing two or three stalks of bloom. 

 HM AIS, 1942. 



LORD DONG AN (Smith, 1940) Each $6.50 



A stunning creation with broad standards of Chinese violet and extra 

 velvety falls of deepest Pansy-violet, set off with a very thick intense 

 pale yellow beard. HM AIS, 1940. 



LORI MAY (DeForest, 1941) Each $4.00 



Harmonious Daphne-pink; a genuine find in the popular pink class. 

 This Iris has very thick petals, excellent flaring form, and is especially 

 fine as a clump. Good sized blooms, very close to true pink. HM AIS, 

 1944. 



LOTHARIO (Schreiner, 1942) Each $10.00 



An Amigo-type Amoena; very rich and velvety, much taller than the 

 famous Amigo and with flowers of great size. Contrast in color is 

 not as sharply defined as in the case of its predecessor but it is a 

 magnificent Iris. Stock is extremely scarce. HM AIS, 1945. 



LOUVOIS (Cayeux, 1936) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Brown, deep, rich and velvety, like the lustrous fur of an animal. 

 Breeders are still trying to attain an Iris that will be an improvement 

 on this distinct French creation. Done in two shades of chocolate, 

 it is well illustrated on page 1 8. HM AIS, 1 939. Big flowers, medium 

 height. 



LULLABY (Hall, 1943) Each $5.00 



Apple-blossom to orchid-pink, a luscious color in a large oval flower. 

 Standards and falls are nearly the same shade, the latter without haft 

 markings. Very tall and well branched. Stock very limited. 



MAJENICA (Cook, 1941) Each $5.00 



Distinct new pinkish blend with a tinge of salmon. This is a pleasing 

 flower in every way with wide petaled standards and falls; full, 

 rounded and huge in size. Less pink and more orange than Eros, but 

 a somewhat similar color effect. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1943. 



MANDALAY (Hall, 1943) Each $5.00 



A smooth reddish rose self, entirely and evenly blended with copper. 

 This is a new and attractive color, not matched by any Iris we know. 

 Widely spreading falls, domed standards. HM AIS, 1943. 



MARIMBA (DeForest, 1943) Each $5.00 



A 36-inch smooth clean solid cinnamon-tan self, a lovely color and a 

 very large and ideally formed Iris. One of DeForest's best that has 

 not been accorded much fanfare. 



GYPSY BARON (Schreiner, 1942) Each $7.50 



Very deep blue-purple plicata. The flowers are marbled, rather 

 than stitched, giving the blossoms a much darker appearance 

 than the usual plicata type. The color plate above is decid- 

 edly accurate. Strong vigorous grower.
