PARISIAN BLUE (Schreiner, '65) Each $7.50 



Bright and uniform azure blue without haft markings and of 

 serenely fashioned form. With petals of great width and 40-inch 

 stems ideally branched, we think it probably the best of all the 

 Schreiner blues. Medium late. HM AIS, 1966. 



PALISADES rP/ougfi/64j Each $10.00 



A new and relati\ely unfamiliar addition to the orange ranks. 

 Standards are pink to poppy-red, blending to tangerine-orange at 

 the edges. Falls are orange with a pink area around the tangerine 

 beard. Early to late. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1966. 



PATHFINDER (Whiting, '48) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A big, broad petaled, pearly rose-pink with very heavy substance. 

 Actually a blend, rather than a pink, with some coppery suffusion 

 about the haft and style arms. The beard is yellow. Height 36 

 inches. HM AIS, 1948. See page 47. 



PATRICIAN (H. Hall, '53) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Standards are pure white, lightly flushed yellow at the base. The 

 falls are wide and flaring, also white, but with a heavy overlay of 

 gold entirely covering the hafts. Exceptionally large, evenly bal- 

 anced. HM AIS, 1953; AM, 1958; President's Cup, 1958. 36 inches. 



PAY DAY (Tompkins, '62) Each $3.00 



One of the most brilliant of all yellows; large, nicely formed, very 

 heavily ruffled and fluted. Blooms early through late mid-season on 

 well branched stems. Parentage is Fusilier x Allaglow. HM AIS, 

 1965. 



PINK CHEEKS (Randolph, '57) Each $1.50 



An odd shade of greenish yeUow with very distinctive flush of 

 pink on the hafts and a pinkish glow in the standards. Beard is 

 reddish orange. Attractive and colorful. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1962. 



PINK CHIMES (Hall, '57) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This might be termed a "refined" Pink Sensation. The rich pink 

 falls carry a smooth overlay of gold near the base of the stand- 

 ards. There is no veining and the beard is fiery tangerine. ProUfic 

 in growth and very free blooming with large flowers. 34 inches. 

 HM AIS, 1957. One of the "Five Iris of the Year" for 1963. See 

 page 53. 



PINK MAGIC (Hall, '61) Each $2.00 



This is a very large apple-blossom or blush-pink shading to a cop- 

 pery pink tinge at the outer margins of both standards and falls. 

 It is an Iris with superb form, the standards full and sUghtly 

 crinkled, the falls wide and perfectly held. Stout stems, 34 inches 

 in height. HM AIS, 1964. 



PINWHEEL fScfiremer, '62) Each $2.00 



Ruby-burgundy on cream, the standards sohd burgundy and the 

 starchy, flaring falls cream striated with radiating lines, hence the 

 "pinwneel" effect. Crisp and Hvely — and different! 34 inches. 

 HM AIS, 1963. 



PIPES OF PAN CO. Brown, '63) Each $6.00 



A large and tall Iris of unique color combination; creamy stan- 

 dards flushed orchid at the midribs and base; semi-flaring falls of 

 reddish violet lighted up by a tangerine beard. Rather late. 38 to 

 40 inches. HM AIS, 1964. 



POMPANO BEACH (Schreiner, '63) Each $3.50 



This new peach-apricot blend is especially noteworthy on account 

 of its luscious luminescent quality and lacquered sheen. Large, 

 well formed and frilled, on 36 inch stems. Rather early. HM 

 AIS, 1964. 



PRETTY QUADROON (Kleinsorge, '48) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Smooth, metallic, light copper-brown or pale tan, with a hint of 

 lavender and gold. The flowers are of faultless form — wide hafts, 

 spreading falls and large, closed standards. The beard is brown. 

 Height 33 to 36 inches. HxVI AIS, 1948; AM, 1950. See page 51. 



PRIMROSE PATH (Framke, '63) Each $3.50 



Perfection in this cool, creamy, greenish yellow or primrose yellow 

 class. Large, velvety and perfect in form. A real beaut>' and one 

 which, once seen, is not soon forgotten. Very long blooming sea- 

 son. 39 inches. 



PRINCE INDIGO (Schreiner, '64) Each $7.50 



Of richest pansy-violet hue, uniform in standards, falls and beard, 

 with velvety-like pile on the falls and silken finish in the standards, 

 here is truly an Iris supreme ! 38 inches tall, generous in size, 

 ideally branched. Late. HM AIS, 1965; AM, 1967. See page 33. 



QUEEN'S TASTE (Douglas, '52) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Lavender-pink standards with a strong mid-rib. The falls are a 

 blended rose to violet-red, the entire flower full and very large in 

 size. HM AIS, 1953; AM, 1955. Shown on page 49. 



RADIANT APOGEE (Gibson, '66) Each $1 2.00 



It would be difficult to conjure up a more colorful or "attention 

 getting" Iris than this. While a member of the plicata hne, of 

 course, it is devoid of much in the way of dots and stitches pecu- 

 liar to its kinfolk. Standards are solid, bright deep yellow, with no 

 markings. Falls are clear white in the center, banded deep gold 

 with some brownish markings high on the haft. Beard is deep 

 orange. Ruffled and well branched. 36 inches. Shown on page 32. 

 HM AIS, 1967. 



RAINBOW GOLD (Plough, '60) Each $3.00 



Intense buttercup yellow, heavily laced and crimped at the mar- 

 gins, with an almost red beard. One of the very- best and most 

 popular of recent introductions. Large flowers on 34-inch stalks. 

 HM AIS, 1960; AM, 1962. See page 58. 



RASPBERRY RAPTURE (Gibson, '62) Each $2.00 



The color is especially clean and sparkling and man\' others of simi- 

 lar shade look dull by comparison. One of the first to bloom and on 

 40-inch stems. Large flowers, with tangerine beard. See page 59. 



REAL DELIGHV (Wafers, '60) Each $2.00 



A huge and gorgeous blend of blush pink and deep apricot. Petals 

 are broad and thick in texture, the falls flaring and supporting a 

 heavy, bright red-orange beard. There is a greenish chartreuse 

 glow within the flowers. SVa feet. HM AIS, 1960. Shown on 

 page 30. 



REHOBETH (Deforest, '53) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Palest sky-blue — almost the lightest shade of blue imaginable ! Of 

 such perfect form and thick texture that it appears to be wrought 

 from porcelain. The blooms measure seven inches and over. HM 

 AIS, 1954; AM, 1956. Premio Firenze Award in Italy, 1957. 



RESTLESS WAVES (Tompkins, '67) Each $30.00 



"Like powdered blue chalk, smoothly blended over a milk white 

 base, giving a beautiful, foamy look to the whole flower — heavily 

 ruffled, conically domed standards and broad, overlapping hafts 

 and ruffled falls add to the frothy 'Restless Waves' effect." This is 

 the introducer's description and it is certainly apt. Late. 35 inches. 

 HM AIS, 1968. 



PORT ROYAL (Gaulter, '65) Each $7.50 



A giant gleaming white plicata with vivid blue-violet petal edges. 

 The beard is tipped with blue. Distinct from Rococo, one of the 

 parents, more \'iolet than blue, but with the same ruffling and 

 abundance of huge flowers. Quite early to midseason. 38 inches. 

 HM AIS, 1967. 



PRETTY CAROL (Hamblen, '59) Each $1.50 



Lovely rich orchid self with a lighter area in the center of the falls, 

 highlighted by a complementary- tangerine beard. The large flowers 

 are broad and fully formed, stalks heavy and well branched, reach- 

 ing 3 feet or more. One of the very best. HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1961. 



PRETTYFIELD (Cook, '59) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Clean white standards; white falls delicately blended or flushed 

 clear lilue around the outer margins. The beard is bright yellow. 

 This ma\' sound like the familiar blue plicata pattern but it is a 

 decidedly different type. Large flower; 36-inch stems. HM AIS, 

 1959. 



RIBBON ROUND (Tompkins, '63) Each $5.00 



Snow white and sharply contrasting blue, surely the most exciting 

 plicata of this type to date. Huge in size, moderately ruffled and 

 ideally branched on stems up to 48 inches in height. It is one of 

 the first to come into ffower and continues right through the sea- 

 son. HM AIS, 1964; AM, 1966. Shown on page 31. 



RIPPLING WATERS (Fay, '61) Each $4.00 



Pale bluish-orchid, a shade difficult to describe but it certainly is 

 not in any sense pink. The very bright tangerine beard, on a 

 creamy ground, creates a dramatic and unusual effect. Big blos- 

 soms, flaring falls, with ripples, ruffles and frills. 36 inches. HM 

 AIS, 1962; AM, 1964. Dykes Medal, 1966. Shown on page 35. 



ROBERT J. GRAVES (K. Smith, '58) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A gigantic late white with yellow beard. It is flawless in form with 

 big closed standards and broad falls of enamel-hke finish. Three to 

 four-foot stems are ramrod straight and the branching is perfect.
