SILENCE (Tompkins, '66) ML. 36" Each $10.00 



A biilliaiUly rich, deep yellow with a self-colored beard and a slightly 

 lighter canary yellow glow over the central part of the falls. Tomp- 

 kins considers this his finest yellow to date. Rather late. HM AIS, 1968. 

 See page 9. 



SILVERTONE (Hall, '59) M. 36" Each $1 .00 



A beautifully proportioned silvery pale blue— almost white— with 

 tangerine beard. There is a slight hint of orchid in the color of this 

 large Iris. Heavy stems. HM AIS, 1960. See page 55. 



SIVA-SIVA (Gibson, '62) M. 36" Each $1.50 



A flamboyant combination of rich golden standards flushed with 

 cinnamon and porcelain white falls heavily bordered and etched 

 brilliant rcd-mahogany-brown. .\11 petals are fluted and rippled and 

 the flaring falls are almost horizontal. The large, long lasting flowers 

 are fragrant with the scent of spice. HM .^IS, 1963. See page 22. 



SKYWATCH rC Benson, '64) ML. 38" Each $12.00 



A large pale blue with orchid or lavender undertone which sets it 

 apart from other light blue Iris. Smooth, ruffled and broad petaled. 

 Beard is almost white. Limited stock. HM AIS, 1965; AM, 1967. ^Vin- 

 ner of the Dykes Medal in 1970. 



SMART BARBARA (Gibson, '69) M. Each $10.00 



Spreading falls of reddish tan on a cream grovmd with solidly colored 

 standards of bright tan-red. The allover effect of the big flowers is 

 brilliant rose with a fan cast, quite apart from others from this 

 introducer. Our picture on page 23 is a little too red and lacks the 

 tan influence which marks this excellent novelty. Huge flowers on 

 34-36 inch stems. 



Grocie Pfost $2.00 



SON OF SATAN (Wickersham, '62) Each $2.00 



A large blackish-maroon self, with a sooty overlay and bronzy brown 

 beard in harmony. The falls are especially wide at the haft and are 

 semi-flaring. This is a vigorous grower, producing many well-branched 

 3-foot stems to the clump. 



'My Iris order arrived today in perfect condition. I thank you for 

 the beautiful specimens, and especially for the delightful extra." 



E.M.C., California 



'The rhizomes arrived today — oh thank you. And imagine my 

 surprise to find an extra — and what an extra! Thank you!"

SOUTHERN COMFORT (Hinkie, '65) M. 36" Each $3.00 



A rich, creamy beauty with an intensification of deeper yellow on 

 the hafts and in the heart. Beard is matching yellow. Extra wide 

 standards and falls are pleated and ruffled. One of the finest of 

 all recent novelties. HM AIS, 1966; AM, 1970. See page 32. 



SPANISH GIFT (Shoop, '65) EM. 35" Each $5.00 



Warm, glowing, bright orange self; the beard is still deeper orange- 

 red on a creamy central ground. Here is a fine follow up on the heels 

 of the variety Spanish Affair; more brilliant and much superior. See 

 page 6. 



SPARKLING CHAMPAGNE (Ernst, '65) M. 36" Each $2.50 



Although this would be classed as a plicata it really carries but a 

 minimum of dots or etchings, mostly near the center and on the ' 

 hafts. The color inclines to a chartreuse or champagne shade. Verv 

 large, slightly spreading, with extra broad falls and superb branching. ^ 

 HM AIS, 1966. Shown on page 39. ^ 



SPLASH O' PINK (Hall, '64) EM. 36" Each $2.00 



Beautifully formed and broad petaled, with a brilliant, near geranium 

 red beard. The shade of pink is bright, clean and just what we like 

 to look for in an Iris of this popular hue. There is an amber glow 

 in the central area. This one has large size to go with its other qual- 

 ities which include especially fine branching. Flowers are ruffled and 

 very long lasting. HM AIS, 1967. Shown on page 39. 



SPRING FESTIVAL (Hall, '58) M. 36" Each $1 .00 



Not a deep shade of pink but is rather a definite appleblossom tint 

 with heavy geranium-red beards. The flowers are very large, faultlessly 

 formed and slightly ruffled. Stems are tall with the blooms widely 

 spaced. Plant growth is robust and it increases rapidly. HM AIS, 1958.
