Milestone $6.00 



Alaskan Crown $4.00 



LACED GOLD (Noyd, '65) ML. 30" Each $3.50 



Coming from a cross of Rainbow Gold and Bravado, one can well 

 imagine what qualities to expect in this big, non-fading Indian yellow 

 with a heavy, deep yellow beard. Strong stalks with many buds. Mid- 

 season to late. 



LA NEGRA FLOR (Crosby, '57) M. Each $1 .00 



The name means "Black Flower" in Spanish. Here is a tall, ruffled, 

 very dark Iris which won the Primo Firenze Gold Medal in inter- 

 national competition in Florence, Italy in 1959. 38 inches. HM AIS, 

 1958. 



LA ROSITA (Hall, '60) M. 36" Each $2.00 



A large, broad petaled, soft uniform rose self. Area below the beard 

 is paler, almost white, in center. Haft markings are not conspicuous, 

 but give a rosy tan flush near the center of the flower. Beard is pale 

 tangerine— not red. HM AIS, 1961. See page 35. 



LATE DATE (Ernst, '67) VL. 36" Each $4.00 



Illustrated on page 24 . . . and comes honestly by the name, since 

 it is at its peak of bloom after almost all others have practically 

 finished. Standards and falls are both white in the central areas and 

 shade gradually to a uniform, bright violet-blue at the outer edges. 

 Beard is white but glows slightly orange within the flower. This is a 

 bi-tone blend and not in any sense a plicata. 36 inches tall, with good 

 placement.

LAURIE (Gaulter, '66) ML. 36" Each $6.00 



Heavily laced lilac-rose-pink with a tangerine beard. The falls have 

 extra wide hafts and are of thick porcelain-like substance. General 

 color effect is a sort of "ashes of roses" but much brighter than that 

 term would indicate. HM AIS, 1967; AM, 1969. 



LAVANESQUE (Schreiner, '53) EM. Each $1 .00 



Color is an even shade of delicate orchid-pink, the very broad petals 

 nicely ruffled, the beard and hafts rich gold. This is a very full-bodied 

 flower in all its parts . . . possibly the very finest of all the orchid or 

 lilac-purple. 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1959. See page 35. 



LEDA KNIGHT (Hmkle, '65) M. 34" Each $4.00 



Here is something new in the "bass viol" category of colors . . . ranging 

 from deepest red-violet to sooty black. The extra broad petals are 

 sleek and silky, elegantly ruffled. Beard is deep blue-violet lightly 

 tipped orange-brown. HM AIS, 1966.
