Finest Iris 



AMETHYST FLAME (Schreiner, '58) ML. 38" Each $1 .50 



Immense in size and elegant in form, a curiously tinted blend of 

 lavender or light violet and rosy heliotrope. The "shoulders" of the 

 falls carry air overlay of chestnut and the beard is almost white. 

 Nicely ruffled, 38 inches tall, medium late. HM AIS, 19,58; AM, 1960. 

 Dykes Medal, 1963. Plant Patent No. 1793. See page 37. 



APRIL MELODY (Gibson, '67) ML. 36" Each $5.00 



This is a pretty close approach to being a pink plicata . . . the ground 

 color light, almost white, pinkish lavender and the markings a bright 

 and intense shade of lavender-rose. In 1965 this was awarded the cup 

 for best seedling at the regional A.I.S. meeting. As noted in the pic- 

 ture, the flowers are a bit lacy and especially well proportioned. 

 Large and long lasting. HM AIS, 1968. See page 21. 



AMIGO'S GUITAR (Plough, '64) EM. 36" Each $5.00 



Standards are dark Butterscotch with a violet mid-rib, the wide falls 

 blue-violet, lightly tinted rose, ruffled and fluted. This is similar in 

 pattern to Gypsy Lullaby— but the colors are more subdued. HM 

 AIS, 1965; AM, 1967. 



ARCTIC FLAME (Fay, '60) ML. 35" Each $2.50 



This breathtakingly beautiful big \vhite has heavy texture and much 

 ruffling. The beard is thick and wide, and glows with a fiery reddish 

 tinge. A stalwart grower, the 35-inch stalks sturdy and well balanced. 

 HM AIS, 1960; AM., 1962. 



ANGEL BRIGHT (Rees, '66) ML. 36" Each $7.50 



A creamy combination of sparkling white and vivid chrome yellow. 

 Standards are domed and the falls are broad, with a heavy pattern 

 of gold on the haft and a matching rich golden heard. Well branched, 

 large flowers. HM AIS, 1968. 



ARCTIC FURY (C. Benson, '64) M. 36" Each $4.00 



Large, sculptured, snow white blooms of great width, lightly ruffled 

 and semi-flaring in form. Even the beard is white. Sturdy and well 

 branched stalks. HM AIS, 1965; AM, 1967. 



APPLE VALLEY (DeForesi, '58) EM. 36" Each $1.50 



Almost white, flushed pink, with deeper pink cast about the hafts. 

 The pink-tinted beard intensifies the pinkish glow of an otherwise 

 almost white, very beautiful and different flower. Very large, with 

 broad petals and tall stalks. HM AIS, 1960. See page 54. 



AUGUST MOON (Schmelzer, '62) M. 34" Each $2.50 



Cool, greenish cream of heavy, leather-like substance. Flowers are 

 of good form with lacy ruffles and the beard is deep yellow. 34 inches; 

 midseason. HM AIS, 1964. 



APRICOT BLAZE (Gibson '71) f^. 34" Each $20.00 



A tangerine bearded plicata of giant size and perfect proportions. The 

 beautifully formed standards are solid coppery-apricot or pale amber, 

 without markings, and they are folded and closed at the top. Falls 

 are ivory in the central area, with shoulder markings of amber, shad- 

 ing out to amber at the margins. See page 8. 



BABBLING BROOK (Keppel, '66) M. 38" Each $6.00 



A welcome and worthy addition to the blue class with color even bluer 

 than its parent, Galilee. This light, French blue is iirvariably singled 

 out as "that very blue" iris. Has a light texture veining from its 

 other parent. Symphony. Pale lemon yellow beard. Exceptional for its 

 fine form. Large and nicely ruffled. HM'67. AM'69.
