VIOLET HARMONY 



QUEEN'S TASTE 



MELLOWGLOW (Whifing, '42) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Deep peach or apricot, with a Hush of pink. A highly ruffled 

 and perfectly formed Iris, with very broad and rounded stand- 

 ards and falls. The beard is extra heavy and extends far down 

 the fall. HM AIS, 1942. 



MELODY LANE (Hall, '49} Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Bright glistening golden apricot, although it came from two 

 flamingo-pink seedlings. The color is most attractive and new, 

 with great carrying power in the garden. Many of these new 

 shades crop out in the offspring from pink parents. The flowers 

 are very large with some ruffling, good form and a heavy brilliant 

 tangerine beard. Early, with 36-inch stems. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 

 1952. See page 11. 



MEXECO fK/emsorge, '43) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Gay and brilliant, a blended bicolor of buff-golden standards and 

 broad, plush-like falls of glowing red-brown, bordered and 

 blended golden buff. A perfectly gigantic flower, with the falls 

 slightly crinkled and waved at the edges. A blend rather than a 

 variegata. Very late. HM AIS, 1944. See page 36. 



MINNIE COLQUITT (H. Sass, '42) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Massive white plicata, entirely different from all others. It has a 

 broad band of wine-purple stitching at the edges of the enonnous 

 flaring falls, and this same color is repeated in the standards. The 

 whole flower is slightly ruffled. A thoroughly fine Iris in every 

 way, and a husky grower. HM AIS, 1943. AM, 1945. See 

 page 38. 



MINUET (Kleinsorge, '49) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A heavily ruffled and fluted blend, predominantly old gold in 

 color but with falls of delicate lavender-blue bordered with old 

 gold. The finely netted haft is soft brown, the beard very rich 

 orange. Parentage is Chamois x Cascade Splendor and the form 

 of Minuet very closely resembles this latter parent. 40 inches 

 tall, medium branching. 



ANNETTE 



MOLTEN (Craig, '50) Each $2.00 



.\ big rich self of light burnt sienna, rose and golden ochre, 

 with a small violet blaze. Its parentage. Prairie Sunset and 

 Sultan's Robe, gives a hint of the magnificent tones inherent in 

 this flower. 34 in.
