ONE DESIRE (Shoop, '60) EM. 34" Each $3.00 



Nearly all pink Iris carry a certain amount of peach, salmon or 

 apricot blended together. Here is one which is devoid of these in- 

 fluences and in some quarters is regarded as the nearest approach 

 to real pink. Color is rich and deep with beard in harmonv. HM AIS, 

 1960; AM, 1963. 



ORANGE CHARIOT (Fay, '64) M. 34" Each $3.50 



Light orange, both standards and falls a uniform shade. Blossoms are 

 large, with wide petals, semi-flaring and thick in texture. The- in- 

 tense, tangerine-coral beard adds brilliance and appeal to the thrilling 

 and capti\ ating color. 



OPENING NIGHT (Gibson, '70) M. 38" Each $25.00 



This is the first "black" Iris we ha\e e\er introduced, because there 

 has been an abundance of good ones from many other sources. ^Vith- 

 out any claim that this one is the \ery best of all. we do know that it 

 has had so much favorable comment from those who have seen it. 

 that more advance orders and inquiries about it have been received 

 than has been the case with any of our previous introductions. A near 

 black flower of colossal size, with \ery wide, spreading falls, ruffled 

 and fluted, not laced, and with a deep violet beard. Heavy, stout, well 

 branched stalks with many blossoms. HM. 1971. .See page ."). 



ORANGE JADE (Wise, '63) M. 36" Each $1.50 



A deep golden orange self, near to true orange, including the beard. 

 The form is excellent and the intense color should make it a striking 

 clump in the garden. HM AIS, 1964. 



ORANGE PARADE (Hamblen, '61) EM. 36" Each $3.50 



A \i\iil and nioderatel) laced and ruffled orange bi-tone, between 

 Marigold and Spanish orange. A startling and lich orange effect.

 AM, 1964. Shown on page 30. 



ORANGE BANNER (Waters, '55) M. Each $1.00

Sunlit $7.00 



ORINDA (Gaulfer, '68) ML. 36" Each $8.00 



A crisp, ruffled blend of rose and tan, from the unusual cross of 

 Melodrama and Mademoiselle. This latter parent produced Claudia 

 Rene; which in turn has sired a \ast number of Gaulter's best and 

 most distinct things. Orinda has smooth hafts of copper-brown on 

 crisp, wavy falls of rose-lilac; the standards are ruffled and closed, a 

 blend of tan and rose. Beard is orange-brown. HM AIS, 1970. See 

 page 21. 



OUTREACH (J. Nelson, '71) E. 36" Each $17.50 



Among the first of the giant bearded to come into flower is this golden 

 yellow and white. The broad falls are wa\y and the stems carrv so 

 many big blossoms, that although blooming early, thev continue past 

 mid-season. The closed standards are deep gold, matching the sharplv 

 defined band of color around the edge of the flaring falls. Shown on 

 page 7. 



OUT YONDER (Wickersham, '69) Each $8.50 



We like this best of all we have seen of this tvpe . . . pale blue- 

 almost white— standards and solid indigo blue falls with a slight 

 violet cast. A bit of this deeper color extends part way upward along 

 the mid-ribs of the standards. Beard is white, tipped pale yellow. 

 Perfect form, with domed standards and wide, flaring, wa\y falls. 

 Fairly late, lots of large flowers on 36-inch stems, well branched. 

 .Shown on page 22. 



PACIFICA (J. Nelson, '68) M. 36" Each $7.50 



This gigantic French blue with darker lavender-violet shading in 

 the central area is derived from (Demetria x French Flair) x High 

 Above. The falls are extremely wide and stand out almost horizon- 

 tally. Beard is pale yellow tipped light blue. The great, flat falls 

 summon up thoughts of a Japanese Iris and the color is a lovely 

 symphony of pastel blues and violets. Many flowers to the 3-foot stalks. 



PACIFIC PANORAMA (Sexton, '60) M. 40" Each $2.00 



A spectacular sea-blue self of great-size and imposing carriage. The 

 ruffled flowers are produced on 40-inch, well branched stems. Beard 

 is yellow topped white. HM AIS, 1961; AM, 1963. Dykes Medal 1965.

PALISADES (Plough, '64) EM. 36" Each $4.00 



A new and relatively unfamiliar addition to the orange ranks. Stand- 

 ards are pink to poppy-red, blending to tangerine-orange at the edges. 

 Fall sare orange with a pink area around the tangerine beard. Early 

 to late. HM AIS, 1966. 



PALOMINO (Hall, '52) EM. 36" Each $1 .00 



The falls are pale ivory with an amber-copper shoulder and thin 

 band all the way around. Beard is like a bonfire. For size, form, 

 substance, branching and truly marvelous color, this is indeed su- 

 preme. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954. 



PARISIAN BLUE (Schreiner, '65) ML. 40" Each $3.50 



Bright ami iniiform a/ure blue without haft markings and of serenely 

 fashioned form. With petals of great widlli and 40-inch slems ideally 

 branched, we think it probably the best of all the Schreiner blues. 

 HM AIS, 1966.
