HARBOR BLUE (Schreiner, '54) Each $7.50 



This new blue, of startling size, has been winning fame both in this 

 country and abroad. The great flowers are borne on husky stalks 

 reaching almost four feet and they hold up in all kinds of weather. 

 HM AIS, 1955. 



HARVEST SPLENDOR (Kleinsorge, '56) Each $10.00 



A smooth blend of gold and apricot, the standards solid apricot 

 faintly tinted rose, the falls bright old gold shading to apricot near 

 the margins. Beard is orange-yellow. The flowers are well tailored, 

 just slightly waved at the edges of the falls. Substance is thick and 

 the petal surface glistens with myriad golden particles. A clump 

 produces lots of bloom thus making it an ideal variety for mass effect 

 in the garden. 3 feet; midseason. In color on page 18. 



HEATHER ROSE (Hall, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This is a large rosy orchid-pink, but of a different shade from any 

 Iris we have seen. The color is new, pleasing and very close to that 

 of Scotch Heather. Form, stem and branching are all good. It is a 

 vigorous grower, hardy and blooms freely. A fine Iris in every way 

 and brings a bit of new color to the garden. HM AIS, 1951. 



HEIGHO (Craig, '49) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Vigorous and prolific hybrid with fine, tall, wiry stems 45 inches 

 high, ideally branched. Color is clear Bradley violet, actually a light 

 violet shade of blue-lavender. There is a hint of a signal patch at 

 the tip of the beard. Mr. Craig regards this as one of his greatest 

 accomplishments. HM AIS, 1949. 



HELEN COLLINGWOOD (K. Smith, '49) Each $2.50 



A very brilliant Iris in the neglecta class. Standards are light 

 lavender, the falls bright violet-purple ... a decided contrast. Stalks 

 are 40 inches tall, sturdy and vigorous. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1952. 



HURRICANE (Craig, '49) Each $2.00 



An odd but beautiful powder-blue flecked with purplish brown 

 spots. This is an "oncobred" of huge size but it may not be hardy 

 in the North. HM AIS, 1949. 



ILLINOIS (Hall, '49) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A great big creamy yellow, noted for its fine texture and purity of 

 color. The well formed flowers are produced in wonderful pro- 

 fusion on strong, 36-inch stems, extra well branched. As either a 

 clump or an individual stalk it attracts all eyes in the garden. 

 HC AIS, 1946; HM, 1950. 



ILLUSTRIOUS (Hall, '53) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Our latest blue Iris, coming into flower with such late varieties as 

 Extravaganza and Garden Glory. Blossoms are of very large size, 

 uniform rich deep blue— almost indigo— and a clump is a wonderful 

 sight. The smooth haft is brownish and the beard is inconspicuous. 

 Widely branched, three feet tall. 



INCA CHIEF (Miich, '52) Each $4.00 



Burnished golden bronze, evenly colored throughout. The ruffled 

 flowers, with very broad hafts, are of immense size and are pro- 

 duced on heavy stalks. This is one of the most talked-about of all 

 recent novelties. Height about 3 feet. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954. 

 See page 24. 



INDIANA NIGHT (Cook, '42) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Lustrous, deep, richest velvety purple, almost black. The finest and 

 most satisfying dark Iris of a long series of seedlings from the famous 

 Sable. 38-inch stems, well branched, with every good quality de- 

 sired in an Iris. Midseason and long lasting. HM AIS, 1942; 

 AM, 1944. In color on page 41. 



HELEN McGregor (Graves, '46) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Clear pale blue, pure and uniform in color, the 

 beard lemon-yellow. Of perfect form, flaring and 

 daintily ruffled, very large, beautifully spaced on 

 nice stems, it is not only supreme as a light blue 

 but ranks as one of the best of modem Irises. HM 

 AIS, 1946; AM, 1948; Dykes Medal, 1949. See page 31. 



HELEN Mckenzie (Graves, '50) Each $2.50 

 Pure white, including the beard. This is a "cool" 

 white, without yellow or cream undertone and in 

 some lights it almost exhibits a greenish glow. Per- 

 fect form, 3-foot stems. HM ATS. 1950. 



HERITAGE (Hall, '49) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A flamingo-pink of a deeper tone than Hit Parade 

 or Cherie and an outstanding Iris of this color. A 

 nice full petaled flower of heavy substance with 

 slightly ruffled semi-flaring falls and nicely held 

 standards. It's a smooth self with no haft markings 

 and has a bright tangerine beard. A sister of Pink 

 Sensation but is a different shade of pink. Height 

 34 inches. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. 



HI-TIME (Hall, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A lustrous golden apricot color, called by some a 

 peach-pink although not actually a pink at all. It 

 has a full deep tangerine beard and is a self with 

 no haft markings. The medium large flowers of 

 heavy silky texture have fine form and are carried 

 on 34-inch, well branched, strong stems. Hi-Time 

 has very dark blue-green foliage that is unusually 

 resistant to leaf spot; a vigorous grower and free 

 bloomer. HM AIS, 1950. 



HIT PARADE (Hall, '47) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Another flamingo-pink, with some ruffling, good 

 form and substance, and a little larger flower than 

 Courtier or Floradora, carried on well branched. 

 34-inch stems. Color is lighter than Courtier and 

 deeper than Floradora and it has the characteristic 

 tangerine beard. 



HONOR BRIGHT (DeForest, '51) Each $1.50 

 A large flowered plicata of spreading form. Chrome- 

 yellow ground with flush of orange and a white 

 patch on the falls. Attractive individually and most 

 effective as a clump. HM AIS, 1951.
