GRAND CANYON 
FIREDANCE (Fay 1947) ML. 36”. 
A deep, glowing red-marked plicata, the 
striking pattern of marking gives a strident 
note. The falls are marked in a narrow 
perimeter while the standards are more gen- 
erally marked a shade of wine red. Not large 
yet most effective. $10.00 
FLAMELY (P. Cook 1943) M. 36”. 
Radiant red self with an incandescence to the 
entire flower given by the orange-red cast. A 
slight bicolor with falls a bit more garnet- 
brown. Medium large flowers of good shape 
and texture. One of Paul Cook’s fine reds. 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00 
FLORA ZENOR (J. Sass 1941) EM. 40”. 
A fascinating and singular Iris. Color: melt- 
ing pink, like foam on a strawberry soda with 
deeper lines of rose at the haft and a vivid 
shrimp-red beard. Novel for color alone. As 
a clump it is striking. Close up the flowers 
are disproportionately small for the tall stems. 
A breeder’s Iris. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
FLORENTINE (Cayeux 1937) M. 37”. 
Individually different—a_ plicata_ entirely 
dotted and speckled and freckled in an over- 
all effect that the flower seems engulfed in a 
flaky blue dust. Large sized flowers; good 
plant habits. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
FRANCELIA (McKee 1944) M. 34”. 
Deservedly this bright chrome yellow is one 
of the forefront yellows. Not recognized to 
the degree it deserves, it nonetheless is estab- 
lishing itself in its rightful position with a 
flower of faultless form, domed standards and 
semi-flaring falls, good substance and rich 
gold color as if the sun itself were congealed 
within. You cannot go wrong with this 
splendid Iris. $4.50

FRANK ADAMS (Lapham 1937) M. 48”. 
This flamboyant Jris carries its bloom on about as ideally spaced 
and proportioned branches as could be desired. The fine form 
reminds one of the all-around excellence of Depute Nomblot. It 
is a rosy fawn-tan blended with pink, and falls rose with a tan- 
talizing tan undercoat giving unusual warmth and vibrancy to 
its colors. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
FRANK PUGLIESE (Lapham 1947) M. 38”. 
A redder, more vibrant Christabel, possibly a shade or two darker 
and even more of a self. ‘The standards are so rich they are prac- 
tically the same shade as the falls. The fiery falls are lustrous 
and remarkably free from venation. When viewed with the sun 
shining through it does seem as if it were a “house afire’’ red. 
$7.50 
FRECKLES (Becherer 1941) M. 32”. 
A yellow plicata with light chocolate markings and fleckings on 
a rich creamy yellow background.. Reminiscent of the old variety 
King Karl. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
FRIEDA MOHR (Mohr 1926) ML. 38”. 
One of the aristocrats of the Iris world. A large lilac-rose bicolor 
of classic flaring form and splendid texture. This is one of the 
oldest Iris we grow, but I would never consider my garden com- 
plete without Frieda Mohr, one of the all-time greats. 
35c; 3 for 90c 
GALLANTRY (Whiting 1945) M. 38”. 
Copiously composed with pleasant fluting of its petals, this is a 
full, broadly rounded medium blue. A self with widely flaring 
falls and nicely spaced branching. A uniform rich blue overall. 
$5.00 
GARDEN FLAME (H. Sass 1941) ML. 34”. 
A rich rose with deeper tints of rose and brown in the center or 
perhaps more truly descriptive, a rosy garnet. In reality this 
occupies a unique niche since it is neither a true red nor a true 
rose Iris. But it is a striking Iris with large, rounded flowers 
enriched by brown tints overlaid on the rosy garnet red. We 
like it. $1.50; 3 for $4.00
