GRACIE PFOST 



UTAH VALLEY (Muhlestein, '59) Each $1.50 



A crisp, ruffled, bright violet with a large, round, white patch in 

 the center of each fall. Shoulder high stems bring the flowers al- 

 most up to eye level! HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1961. 



VALIMAR (Hamblen, '58) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Derived from Palomino, it's a smooth apricot-pink with a wide 

 nasturtium-red beard. Judges raved over this at the 1958 American 

 Iris Society Convention in New York, and so will you! HM AIS, 

 1958; AM, 1960. See page 58. One of the "5 Iris of the Year" for 

 1965. 



WAYWARD WIND (Baker, '58) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Burnished bronze, a peculiar greenish shade of tan or brown. Even 

 the beard is in harmony. This Iris has rather flat, flaring falls, with 

 some ruffling and the large blooms are produced in profusion. 

 Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1961. 



WENATCHEE KID (Noyd, '58) Each $3.00 



Large tan, with most striking haft markings of burnt sienna. The 

 effect is that of chocolate-brown on light tan, and there is a 

 greenish midrib line to add further distinction. 34-36 inches; 

 rather late. HM AIS, 1961. Shown on page 24. 



VELVET BRASS (Tompkins, '65) Each $7.50 



Blended tan-gold-brown self, with some hints of French lilac in 

 the standards and around the edges of the falls. A novel color 

 pattern. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1968. 



VELVET ROBE (Schreiner, '60) Each $2.00 



Well named, a deep but glowing shade of plushy crimson red with 

 golden beard. The haft is solidly colored and petals are lightly 

 ruffled. This is our choice of the Schreiner reds to date. HM AIS, 

 1960. See page 59. 



VIOLET HARMONY (Lowry,'52) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



Light violet in color, with a lighter patch in the center of the 

 falls. Very large, of elegant form, and nicely ruffled. Winner of 

 the President's Cup in 1953; Dykes Medal, 1957. 



VIOLET HILLS (DeForesi, '56) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Here is the last word in deep true violet color! The 7-inch flowers 

 shine like taffeta, even on a rainy day, and they will take rain, 

 wind, or sun. Standards, falls and beard are a unifonn rich violet- 

 purple, the beard is lightly tipped blue. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1956; 

 AM, 1958. Winner of the President's Cup 1960. See page 49. 



WANDERING RAINBOW (Tompkins, '65) Each $20.00 



A shimmering blend of rose, brown, gold and electric blue. This 

 combination of tints is found also in Martel and Royal Tapestry, 

 yet the three are distinct from each other. This one has extra 

 heavy stalks with good branching and reaches 39 inches. Very late. 

 HM AIS, 1966. 



WENATCHEE VALLEY (Noyd, '65) Each $20.00 



Frilled lacey pink standards, edged tan; wide, flaring falls of 

 creamy white edged with pinkish tan. With its very red beard it is 

 one of the most beautiful and novel of all recent introductions. 

 Late. HM AIS, 1966. 



WHOLE CLOTH (Cook, '58) Each $2.00 



This is the first of the series of new style amoenas from the gar- 

 den of Paul Cook. Standards are pure white, the falls soft medium 

 blue and the beard is practically white. Petals are broad and flar- 

 ing. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1960. Dykes Medal, 1962. Shown on 

 page 44. 



WILD APACHE (Gibson, '65) Each $6.00 



So vivid and lively that the name is truly in keeping with this 

 sensational new plicata. The color is cinnamon-violet on white, the 

 standards almost solidly colored cinnamon-violet. Beard is orange- 

 bronze. An exceptionally large flower, with perfect balance and 

 ideal ruffling, very broad in all its parts. Heavy stems, extra good 

 branching, 35 inches tall. HM AIS, 1966. See page 35. 



WILD GINGER (Gibson, '62) Each $2.50 



A deeply flounced and ruffled new plicata in ginger brown and 

 creamy white, the standards almost solid soft brown. Flowers 

 measure almost 8 inches from tip to tip. The hea\>- ruffling extends 

 far up into the throat which is peppered with a warm golden 

 brown. Petals possess a waxed or starchy quality of stiffness which 

 adds to the especially long lasting period of each blossom. Height 

 35 inches. See page 13. HM AIS, 1963; AM, 1965.
