ROMULUS 



FLASHING GEM 



FLAMING DRAGON (Fay, '66) Each $10.00

 range available in an Iris planting. This one is enlivened with a 

 coral-red beard. Large, well spaced flowers, 32-inch stems. HM 

 AIS, 1967. 



FLASHING GEM (Gibson, '63) Each $3.00 



Very tall and very large bright yellow with a band of bright rose- 

 purple surrounding each fall. The standards are yellow shading into 

 the same rose-purple trim on the falls. Actually more brilHant than 

 our picture on page 17 seems to portray — but this gives you a fair 

 idea. Note the purple tips on the style arms. Widely branched and 

 blooms over a very long season. 40 inches in height. HM AIS, 1966.

FRONTIER MARSHALL (Schreiner, '65) Each $5.00

FROST and FLAME (Hall, '57) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Mr. Hall worked for several years in an effort to bring out a fault- 

 less white with the tangerine beard so closely associated with the 

 flamingo-pinks. And here we have it! The flowers are large, the Stiffs 

 stems reach four feet, and the thick petals are as clean and white as 

 a sheet. HM AIS, 1957; AM, 1959. See page 41. 



FUJI'S MANTLE (Schreiner, '66) Each $12.00 



With blue-white standards and flaring falls of white shading to
