SAN LEANDRO (Gaulter, '68) ML. 38" Each $8.50 



A most unusual shade of light purple, or perhaps "slate-blue" might 

 be a more apt term. This is lit with a rich tangerine-red beard. 

 Branching almost from the ground, on hea\y stems, it carries above 

 the average number of large flowers and thus blooms over a very 

 long season. Nearest thing to it in color combination might be Lovelv 

 Letty. Both Arctic Flame and Rippling Waters are in the parentage. 

 HM AIS, 1969. 



SAUCY SUE (Gibson, '68) 34" Each $12.50 



Silky standards of golden tan, flushed with a reddish undertone; falls 

 of garnet red rimmed with bro\vn. This is a luxurious piece of color 

 in a very large flower, the falls edged with heavy folds of plush-like 

 rulTles and pleats. General effect is two shades of chestnut. Our picture 

 is a bit too light in color. Midseason. HM AIS, 1970. See page 9. 



Brasilia $1.50 



ROYAL TOUCH (Schreiner, '67) ML. 34" Each $7.50

 Victoria or pansy violet. Beard is deep blue, tipped lighter. HM AIS, 

 1968; AM, 1970. See page 5. 



ROYAL VIOLET (Riddle, '59) M. 38" Each $1 .50 



The great size and all-round majesty of this fine Iris cannot be ade- 

 quately brought out in our picture on page 54. It is more blue than 

 Violet Hills, velvety rather than silky and the beard is light blue to 

 almost white. The petals are extremely broad and flaring. HM AIS, 

 1959.

 some of the colorful seashells from tropic shores. Huge in size, ideal 

 in form, the flowers of thick enamel-like substance. This is from My 

 Honeycomb x Fairy Fable, so you see it is one-half pink and should 

 provide good opportunity for breeding. See page 16.

 amber glow at the heart. The style arms exhibit this amber tint rather 

 strongly and this in turn is punctuated by a bright burnt orange 

 beard. The haft is lightly washed aml^er. Faultless form, the standards 

 waved and fluted, the falls widely flaring and ruffled at the margins.
