Captain Gallant $1.50 



TIBURON (Gaulter, '71) Each $20.00 



From a long line of seedlings involving Arctic Flame we have this deep 

 orchid with flaming red beard and fringed petal edges. All petals are 

 fluted and waved, the blossoms of great size and are indeed remindful 

 of giant orchids. Many blooms to the stem, at least three feet in 

 height. See page 8. 



TINSEL TOWN (Tompkins, '67) ML. 38" Each $1 2.50 



Pure, clean white with center of molten gold. Undersides of the falls 

 are yellow and this second color is exposed by the ruffles and folds 

 of the petal margins. Here is one of the largest of all Iris, magnificent 

 in every way. It might be termed a glorified Christmas Angel, with 

 more gold and ruffles. HM AIS, 1968; AM, 1970. See page 41. 



TOWN AND COUNTRY (Gaulter, '71) . Each $17.50 



A silvery rose-violet of spreading form and with unusual curls and 

 contrasting appendages in the standards. This is from a long line of 

 seedlings involving Marie Phillips and Sterling Silver; in fact it in- 

 herits some of its silvery contrasts from the latter. Both standards and 

 falls are of a uniform, bright rose-violet hue and the beard is white. 

 All petals are gracefully waved at the margins. Large flowers on stout 

 stems, 34 inches in height. See page 6. 



Martel $1.50 



TOLL GATE CCoofc, '59) M. 40" Each $1 .50 



From the same line of breeding as Whole Cloth. Standards are palest 

 blue— almost white— the falls dark violet with a long yellow beard 

 extending across the lighter haft. Very tall, with many flowers per 

 stem, widely spaced. _HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1962. Well illustrated on 

 page 54. 



TOMECO (Suiier, '60) M. 36" Each $1.00 



Smoothly burnished oxblood red self without haft markings. Tailored 

 in appearance, the big rounded standards domed and closed and the 

 broad falls semiflaring. Bronze yellow beard. Well branched and 

 sun resistant. HM AIS, 1962. Cook-Lapham Award for best Red Iris 

 in 1965. 



TOP BILLING (Nelson, '69) ML. Each $1 2.50 



A startling new white with "house-aflre" red beard. Borne on heavy, 

 stalwart stems reaching up to four feet in height, the very large, 

 ideally formed flowers have the finish of white porcelain and are of 

 extra thick substance. The beard is heavy and almost blood red. This 

 is doubtless the greatest attention getter in the Nelson garden which 

 contains a vast number of the best and newest things in Irisdom. 

 Shown on page 19. 



TORCHBEARER (Nelson, '63) ML. 36" Each $2.00 



Reddish brown with dark red-brown or chocolate-like thumb prints 

 on the hafts. Beard is bright orange. This combination results in a 

 rather startling effect and is sure to attract a lot of attention. Flaring 

 falls and good branching. HM AIS, 1964.
