MORNING BREEZE {?ay, '63) EM. 34" Each $3.50 



Related to Rippling Waters, lighter in tone but in the same elusive, 

 pale blue-orchid and cream combination of merged tints. Ruffled 

 flowers with brilliant beards. HM AIS, 1964. 



MUSIC MAKER (Wafers, '63) EM. 34" Each $3.00 



The much heralded supreme blue which some critics have judged 

 as the very best, particularly in form and color, of any blue Iris thus 

 far. A sky blue self, wide petaled, gracefully ruffled, on stout 34-inch 

 stems. HM AIS, 1964; AM, 1966. 



MY HONEYCOMB (Gibson, '59) M. Each $1 .00 



A molasses and honey blended plica ta of great sire, and excellent 

 branching, embracing the quality of Taholah, one of its parents, in 

 a taller and flashing combination of colors. A giant Firecracker, 

 deeper, richer and with twice the stem of this fine old favorite. Height 

 36-38 inches. HM AIS, 1960. 



Fairlight $17.50 



NATCHEZ TRACE (Wills, '69) M. Each $8.50 



This rich, velvety red-brown comes from Jesse Wills, of Nashville, 

 Tennessee, a past President of The American Iris Society. He has 

 been breeding a red line of Iris for many years and has several excel- 

 lent previous introductions in tones of red and rose. This one has 

 rose-red standards, conical in form and closed at the top; falls of rich 

 crimson-brown velvet with smooth, unmarked hafts adorned with 

 a heavy bronze-orange beard. Flowers are very large, the stalks well 

 branched and it blooms midseason to late. 34 to 36 inches. See page 19. 



NATIVE CHIEF (Gibson, '66) ML. 34" Each $2.50 



Yellowish tan or "buckskin" colored standards, very ruffled and full, 

 and white falls bordered with the same soft tan of the standards over 

 ivory white. This is one of Gibson's very largest new things and is 

 undoubtedly one of his best in every way. Well spaced. Shown on 

 page 16. 



Wandering Rainbow $7.50 



'The Iris I received from you came 

 through in fine shape, and they are such 

 nice looking rhizomes I can hardly wait 

 until time for them to bloom next spring." 



J.C.A., Texas 



NIGHTSIDE (Scbreiner, '67) M. 38" Each $7.50 



Another of those very rich, sultry, silk-sheened blue-black gems from 

 this well known source of outstanding and very popular black Iris. 

 Not actually black, of course, but nearly so, including the beard. 

 Perfect on all accounts. HM AIS, 1968. See page 26. 



NIGHT SONG (luihn, '65) ML. 38" Each $3.50 



A new sultry black from Dark Fury and Black Taffeta. Heavily ruffled 

 and velvety, the beard matching the deluxe richness of the standards 

 and falls. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1966. 



NORMANDIE (Gaulter, '68) ML. 38" Each $5.00 



Light lavender-lilac, shading to near white in the center of the falls. 

 The contrasting yellow to tangerine beard enlivens the soft, pastel 

 tone of the big, broad petaled blossoms, the falls of which almost 

 touch each other. Here is beauty, polish and grace in an Iris, the 

 color of which may not seem so exciting in print . . . but it is really 

 super! Shown on page 23. 



NEWPORT (Schreiner, '63) EM. 38" Each $2.00 



The bluest of blue plicatas, the snowy background edged a delightful 

 cerulean blue. It is brighter than Rococo and the colors are in sharper 

 contrast. Tall, large and well branched. Early. HM AIS, 1966. 



OLYMPIC TORCH (Schreiner, '58) L. 40" Each $2.00 



This grand coppery yellow-bronze is our choice of all the Schreiner 

 introductions. It has great size, moderate ruffling, lovely even coloring, 

 and perfect height and branching. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1960. Illus- 

 trated on page 36.
