CELESTIAL GLORY 



WINE AND ROSES (Hall, '63) Each $3.50 



A break much sought after by hybridizers has been a combination 

 of clear rose-pink and deep violet purple. Now here is the fiower 

 which brings these colors out in truly splendid fashion— ruffled, 

 flaring, clean and sharp in contrast! The edging of rose-pink 

 around the velvet\- falls exactly matches the standards. There is a 

 warm glow at the heart of the flower and the beard is red-orange. 

 Large blooms; well branched. 35-inch stems. HM AIS, 1964; AM 

 1966. See page 15. 



SIVA-SIVA 



WINTER OLYMPICS fO. Brown, '63) Each $5.00 



Domed standards and e.xtra wide falls with elegant ruffling are 

 features of this sensational new white Iris. It was the leader in the 

 "Judges' Choice" in 1964 and was likewise first among those 

 which won the HM Award of the AIS in 1965; AM, 1966. Dvkes 

 Medal, 1967. 



YELLOW GOLD (Noyd,'66) Each $10.00 



Flaring bright buttercup yellow self, with a heavy deep yellow 

 beard. There is a flash of white on the falls just below the beard. 

 Midseason to late. Well branched and 34 inches in height. 



YES SIR (Noyd, '65) Each $7.00 



A deep yellow-orange self, probably the most intense shade of 

 yellow of any in this catalog. Very close to orange, it carries no 

 apricot tone and this makes it especially distinct. \^ery large, tall, 

 late. HM .\IS, 1966. 



ZEBRA (Pallida variegata) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



The only Iris with leaves striped creamy yellow and green. Excel- 

 lent for a foliage accent in the border and it lends itself par- 

 ticularly well in some t>-pes of flower arrangements. Bears laven- 

 der-blue blossoms but its chief value lies in its novel foliage. 



EXPLANATION OF TERMS 

 USED IN DESCRIPTIONS 



The American Iris Society makes a number of awards annually 

 to outstanding Iris varieties. Each year the highest honor given 

 is the "Dykes Medal." Other awards are as follow: 



H.C. "Highly Commended" 



A.M. "Award of Merit" 



H.M. "Honorable Mention" 



In order to be eligible for the Dykes Medal an Iris must have pre- 

 viously earned both the Honorable Mention and Award of Merit, 

 the latter two having been separated by a one year interval. 

 Varieties designated as "Plicatos" bear markings of stitches, dots 

 or stipples. A "self" is a flower of one color only.
