GREEN QUEST (R. Brown, '60) ML. 36" Each $2.00 



^Ve hear a great deal about "green Iris" these days but the term is 

 largely an exaggeration. This is as near green as any, actually bright 

 primrose yellow with a chartreuse green cast. Added to the unusual 

 color is perfection of form, large size, perfect branching. It blooms 

 rather late. HM AIS, 1962. See page 32. 



HEAVENLY DAYS (Wickersham, '63) M. 36" Each $2.00 



Too many blues? Not with the quality, form, size and crisp clear 

 June sky hue of this onel Standards are wide and upright, practically 

 closed at the top, wayed and of hea\y substance. The falls are extra 

 broad and flaring, set off with a creamy white beard. Good branching 

 and very long lasting. Shown on page 55. 



GYPSY JEWELS (Schreiner, '63) M. 35" Each $2.50 



Here is a ruby to garnet red of different tonal value from any red in 

 this catalog. Crisply flaring, remarkable heavy substance, and a 

 plushy sheen on the falls, with no haft markings. HM AIS, 1964; 

 AM, 1966. 



HENNA STITCHES (Gibson, '61) EM. 36" Each $1.00 



A very bright combination of frosty white and gleaming henna- 

 copper. The petals are gracefully flounced and ruffled. A feature which 

 enlivens this plicata is the metallic gleam of the reddish margins and 

 stylearms. HM AIS, 1962. 



GYPSY LULLABY (O. Brown, '61) tA. 36" Each $2.00 



Ruffled standards of butterscotch with a light violet flush; flaring 

 very wide falls of medium red-violet shading to the color of the 

 standards. This is distinctly different and has produced some novel 

 seedlings. HM AIS 1962; AM, 1964. See page 33. 



HENRY SHAW (C. Benson, '59) M. 38" Each $2.00 



A giant white, perfectly proportioned, crimped and ruffled and with 

 a greenish undertone on the falls. The huge buds have a greenish 

 cast and the beard is white. Many flowers and good branching. HM 

 AIS, 1969; AM, 1969. Best white Iris of 1965. See page 51. 



HAPPY WANDERER (Lapham, '57) M. Each $1.00 



A clear tapestry-red self with clean, smooth hafts and a dark orange 

 beard. This is the largest red Iris we have seen. Both standards and 

 falls are full, well rounded and the shade of red is vibrant and glow- 

 ing. Illustration on page 50. Height 36 inches.. 



HIGH ABOVE (DeForesf, '61) tA. 36" Each $2.00 



One of the late Fred DeForest's masterpieces. Color is pale sky blue, 

 smooth and even, the texture like satin. Very spreading falls, waved 

 at the edges, seven to nine blooms to the 36-inch stalk. HM AIS, 1962; 

 AM, 1964. See page 32. 



HAWAIIAN BREEZE (Hall, '61) ML. 36" Each $1.50 



A delicately colored flower that is neither pink nor mauve, but is 

 from pink breeding and could be called a pink blend. It is so differ- 

 ent from others of this series, so enchanting in its pastel shadings 

 and so excitingly unique. Large, well formed and nicely branched. 

 See page 34. HM AIS, 1963. 



HEARTBREAKER (Hall, '64) ML. 36" Each $2.50 



A large, flaring pink self, with deep pink beard and a worthy mem- 

 ber of the finest trio of pink Iris we have ever introduced from Mr. 

 Hall. Heartbreaker has extra fine branching and flowers from mid- 

 season to late. Shown on page 38. HM AIS, 1965. 



HIGH ESTEEM (Tompkins, '66) ML. 36" Each $7.50

 coral-rose beard. The 36 to 40-inch stems are ramrod stiff, perfectly 

 branched and flowers from midseason to very late. Large flowers, 

 elegantly ruffled. HM AIS, 1967. See page 18. 



HIGH LIFE (Schreiner, '64) L. 36" Each $3.00 



A spirited burgundy red plicata on the order of Karachi but both 

 larger and taller than that fine variety. The giant, richly hued flowers 

 resemble some rare tropical orchid, borne on stalks 3 feet or over 

 in height. Late. HM AIS, 1965. Shown on back co\er. 



HEATHER HAWK (Gibson, '66) ML. 36" Each $4.00

 ment, on 3-foot stems. See page 17. HM AIS, 1968.
