ROCOCO 



BRILLIANT STAR 



CAPE TOWN CGau/ter, '67j Each $12.00 



This subtle interfusion of delicate beige and rose-lilac results from 

 a cross of Claudia Rene and Glittering Amber, as does the new 

 Baccarat. However, there is no color similarity in the two. The first 

 is flamboyant and lively; this one is less e.xciting, more tranquil, 

 but equally beautiful and appeaUng. Standards and falls are about 

 the same shade of mauve, but the contrasting brown-purple hafts 

 provide a sharp contrast. Beard is deep orange. Very wide falls and 

 abundant ruffling enhance its all 'round high quality. Huge in 

 si?e; .38 inches in height. See page 19. 



CAPTAIN GALLANT (Schmelzer, '59) Each $1.50 



Proliably the finest red to date. The introducer calls it "the red Iris 

 that is red throughout, with no purple influence and no haft mark- 

 ings." Huge in size and holds its color in heat or wind. HM AIS, 

 19.59; AM, 1961. See page 40. 



CARMELA (Schreiner, '55) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



One of the laciest and most exotic of all the new crinkled introduc- 

 tions, selected as one of the "5 Iris of the Year" for 1961. Color is a 

 blend of honey and caramel. Height 38 inches; mid-season bloom. 

 HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1958. 



CAROLINA PEACH (Powell, '64) Each $5.00 



A delightful shade of light peach or soft flesh pink,, the petals very

CASHMERE (Fay, '59) Each $4.00 



Deep rose-pink or rose-red, however you may choose to describe the

 standards. A red-tangerine beard adds to the brilliant orange- 

 apricot effect. Both standards and falls are of exceptional breadth, 

 the standards closed and the falls flaring and fluted. It is a deeper 

 and more radiant hue than Lunar Fire, which it to some degree 

 resembles. Very stalwart 36-inch well branched stems.

 fiery burgundy to red pepper but a minor area on the falls is lit 

 with cream. Beard is orange-bronze. HC AIS, 1960; HM AIS, 1962; 

 AM, 1964. 3 feet tall.
