ONCE AGAIN we wish to remind our friends and customers that tlie Iris crea- 

 tions of Dr. R. E. Kleinsorge of Silverton. Oregon, and David Hall of Wilmette, 

 Illinois, are introduced exclusively through this catalog. These two famous plants- 

 men have probably introduced more Iris which have won aw ards of the American 

 Iris Society, and have no doubt been accorded a greater number of medals and 

 honors than any other team in the history of Iris breeding. Dr. Kleinsorge has just 

 been awarded the Gold Medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society for his 

 achievements in hybridizing. 



It is against this background that we solicit your confidence in these new things. 



LYNN HALL (Hall, 1957) Each $25.00 

 Since 1953, when this deep pink first 

 bloomed in the Hall garden in Illinois, 

 we have been asked when it would be 

 available. Last year it was awarded a 

 Certificate of High Commendation by the 

 American Iris Society. It invariably draws 

 a crowd of admirers. The picture on page 

 3 is very close to the actual bloom . , . 

 a very deep and uniform shade of luscious 

 pink. It flowers freely, is beautifully 

 branched and grows and increases vigor- 

 ously. 3 feet in height. No. 53-12. 



PINK CHIMES (Hall, 1957) Each $15.00 

 This might be termed a "refined" Pink 

 Sensation. It is about the same size and 

 has the same characteristics as that popu- 

 lar variety but is deeper in color, much 

 smoother in finish and has been noted by 

 some as the "pinkest" Hall Iris we have 

 grown this far. The rich pink falls carry 

 a smooth overlay of old gold near the base 

 of the standards. There is no veining and 

 the beard is fiery tangerine. Prolific in 

 growth and very free blooming w ith large 

 flowers. 34 inches. This is seedlins BETA. 



FLUTED COPPER (Kleinsorge, 1957) 



Each $15.00 



Carrying on the long line of bronze, 

 brow n and tan Iris for w hich the Doctor 

 has become so well known, we are happy 

 to offer this distinct new one in metallic 

 shades of hammered copper. Both the 

 standards and falls are bright coppery 

 tan, curled and crinkled, broad and in 

 good balance. The beard is bronzy or- 

 ange. Height 34 to 36 inches. 



FLUTED COPPER 



ROSE AMETHYST (Kleinsorge, 1957) 



Each $20.00 



The picture on the opposite page is really 

 too pale and does not do justice to this 

 new plum-colored Iris with the rosy glow 

 and soft brown hafts. Unique in color, 

 the flowers large and perfectly formed; 

 we are quite sure that you will find it a 

 lovely garden subject and one that will 

 attract immediate attention in any col- 

 lection of the very finest. Not a gay color 

 but rather one of subtle richness. Height 

 3 feet or over.
