10 FAIRMOUNT GARDENS 
GREEN PASTURES (Heller 1947) L. Pale chartreuse yellow 
flowers of large size and most unusual color. The touch of 
blue at the tip of the beard is most effective and accentuates 
the cool green tones of the bloom. Tall and free flowering, it 
is especially nice for flower arrangement, H.C., A. I. S. 1945.

GULF STREAM (Fay 1946) M. A deep blue iris that has 
won high acclaim from iris enthusiasts in many parts of the 
country. It is an absolute self with no haft markings, even 
the beard is blue. While all dark blue iris have some purple 
in their pigment, this one is much more blue than any very 
dark iris that I have seen. H.C., A.I.S, 1945. H.M., A.I.S. 
LOA Gamat: $3.00 
HARVEST BLUE (G.P. Brown1950) V.L. The best fall 
blooming iris that I have seen. A descendant of the famous 
iris, Missouri, it has inherited the blue coloring and the same 
flaring form. The closed standards and styles are medium 
lavender blue, broad and full. The deeper blue falls flare 
widely and have a touch of brown at the haft, beard yellow. 
A reliable fall bloomer and especially nice quality flower.

color with wide branching and strong sturdy growth. This 
iris has an exceptionally smooth finish, heavy substance and 
long season of bloom. The domed and overlapping standards 
are rose-red. The lightly ruffled semi-flaring falls a deeper 
velvety red with a touch of copper brown at the haft. Free 
flowering, it increases rapidly. 38 in. $7.00 
HEIGHO (Craig 1949) M.L. The immense globe like flowers 
have very heavy substance and both standards and falls are 
unusually broad and full. A clear Bradley’s violet self with 
a hint of a signal patch at the tip of the dull orange gold 
beard. A very vigorous and prolific Oncocyclus hybrid with 
a remarkably long season of bloom. Ideally branched, tall 
stalks. H.M., A.I.S. 1949. 45 in. $20.00 
HELEN COLLINGWOOD (K. Smith 1949) M. L. A very 
brilliant iris in the neglecta class. The standards are light 
lavender, broad and firmly held. The bright violet-purple 
falls are flaring with wide hafts. The heavy substanced 
flowers have a neat ruffling at the border. The tall sturdy 
stalks are well branched and the growth is vigorous. A dis- 
tinetive iris of great charm and beauty. H.M., A.I.S. 1950. 
40 in. $20.00 
HELEN McGREGOR (Graves 1946) M. L. Seldom has an iris 
been greeted with such enthusiastic praise as Helen McGregor. 
The color is clear blue, lighter than Great Lakes and with 
not a trace of lavender in it. The flowers are large of 
rounded form with very broad hafts and beautiful ruffling 
on the border of both standards and falls. There is a silvery 
white flush surrounding the almost white beard that en- 
hanees the beauty of the blooms. The flowers have excep- 
tionally heavy substance and the very sturdy stalks are 
adequately branched to display the blooms. The refinement 
of form and beauty of color are ideal and quite different

HELEN McKENZIE (Graves 1950) M. Clarity of color and 
perfection of form are the outstanding features of this pure 
white iris; it is really white with no haft markings or touch 
of any other color in its makeup. For comparison it was 
planted by the side of Priscilla that has been considered the 
whitest iris in existence, and truly Helen McKenzie was 
whiter. The standards are perfectly domed and firmly held. 
The falls, flaring and broad, the firm, smooth texture of the 
blooms, and the perfect placement on the well branched stalks 
place this iris at the top in the white iris class. Ever since its 
first blooming it has been greatly admired by experienced iris 
judges. H.C., A. I. S, 1947. H.M., A.1.S. 1950, 37 in. $22.50 
HERITAGE (D. Hall 1949) M. A flamingo pink of deeper 
color than Hit Parade or Cherie and of heavier substance. 
The full slightly ruffled flowers are smoothly finished and 
the bright tangerine beard is in most pleasing contrast to the 
pink tones of the standards and falls. H.C., A.I.S. 1947. 
HEM AS ToS 21949 20322in; $15.00

one is between Courtier and Floradora, and the flowers are 
larger. Tangerine beard. 30 in. $4.00 
HURRICANE (Craig 1949) M. Immense broad flaring flow- 
ers of toughest texture. Almost a self of pale powder blue, 
suffused in an exotic manner with touches of a darker blue. 
The color pattern is fascinating. This beautifully formed, 
very floriferous iris is rated by many A.I.S. Judges as the 
best Oncocyclus hybrid from Mr. Craig. H.M., A.I.S. 1949. 
38 in. $15.00 
ILLINOIS (D. Hall 1949) M. A beautiful creamy yellow self

INDIAN RED (H. F. Hall 1949) M. Colorful and with great 
garden value, this tawny tan and bright Pompeian red al- 
ways attracts the attention of garden visitors. The very 
broad and full standards are a blending of pecan brown and 
Pompeian red giving a coppery rose effect. The large ex- 
tremely flaring falls are bright Pompeian red bordered with 
a decided ruffle of light pecan brown. Rich gold beard. Few 
iris have the brilliance of this boldly flaring red iris. The 
flowers have heavy substance, and the stalks are very sturdy 
and well branched. 36 in. $7.09 
JANE PHILLIPS (Graves 1950) M. This beautiful blue is a 
child of the famous iris Helen McGregor that won the Dykes 
Medal in 1949. Deeper in color, but with similar form and sub- 
stance, it possesses great color appeal. A very clear blue self 
with well domed standards, arched and smoothly finished, the 
semi-flaring falls are lightly fluted at the edges. Firm tex- 
tured and of exquisite color, it possesses that mark of distinc- 
tion that is a characteristic of so many iris bred by Dr. Graves 
and his able assistant, Edward Watkins. This iris has been 
tested in many parts of this country as well as in England 
and is in high favor wherever grown. H.C., A.I.S. 1947.

rose is difficult to describe but it is lovely. It has great 
individuality and charm. H.M., A.I.S. 1944. 34 in. $1.50

blending of colors. The highly domed standards are Etruscan

of Hortense violet in the center and around the edge a narrow 
border of copper gold. 39 in. ; $2.50 
JULIET (Kleinsorge 1946) M. This iris has been described 
as one of the most colorful and fiery blends of the present 
day. The large flowers have a basic color of flame copper

are of the brightest burnt orange. Increases rapidly. H. M., 
A.I.S. 1947. . 36 in. $2.00
