SUNSET BLAZE (Kleinsorge, '48) EM. Each $1 .00 



A tall and huge gf>ldcn flame-salmon blend, almost a red, but with 

 so much of the gold influence in it that it is not reallv a red Iris.

 stalks reaching 42 inches. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. Color picture 

 on page 52.

 zontal, flaring falls. HM AIS, 1964; AM, 1966.

 crisp and firm in substance. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1963. See page 43. 



SUMMER SILK (Gibson, '71) tA. 34" Each $20.00

 some as "pongee" and others as creamy flesh, although it is not in any 

 category of pink. It is a coiriplete self, including the beard and styles. 

 As you will note on our picture, page 4, all petals are extra wide, the 

 falls almost touching each other. They flare out widely and drop 

 gracefully at the outer rim.

 shades being predominant in the center of the falls and near the

 the stalks reach 38 inches or more in height. See page ?. 



TAHITI SUNRISE (Ernst, '63) ML. 36" Each $2.00

 tone of salmon. The heavy Saturn red beard and the very broad 

 falls are remindful of Fairy Fable but the shade of pink is entirely 

 different. The blooms are extra large in size, especially for a pink 

 and the texture is like heavy porcelain. We regard it as one of the 

 best so far, in every way. Sturdy 36-inch stems, well branched. HC AIS, 

 1962; HM AIS, 1965. Shown on page 38.

 HM AIS, 1967. 



SUNNY SPLENDOR (Schreiner, '65) ML. 35" Each $3.50
