PATHFINDER 
flowers are not very large, the branching 
is only fair, but the color is really some- 
thing. Plants are very vigorous and per- 
fectly hardy. H. M. 1950. Stock limited 
because of demand. $7.50, 3 for $20.00 
GYPSY ROSE, Whiting 1946. No. 4362 
(AMARANTH X THREE OAKS). Mid- 
season to late, 40 inches. Rich tapestry 
red infused with copper and accented by 
a blue blaze in the fall. The flowers are 
very large, yet sturdy and compact in 
form. The tall, widely branched stalks are 
strong enough to carry the many huge 
blooms safely through all kinds of weather. 
The plants show vigorous growth, free 
bloom and strong increase. H. M. 1949. 
Selected for trial at Wisley 1948.

HARVEST MOON, Whiting 1944. No. 4121 
(MIDWEST GEM X PRAIRIE SUNSET). 
Mid-season, 34 inches. A brilliant blend 
of apricot, buff and orange, one of the 
brightest spots in the garden. The flowers 
are large and full with wide petals of 
heavy substances. Very prolific and com- 
pletely hardy. Popular with garden visi- 
tors. 75c, 3 for $1.50 
HEATH CREST, Whiting 1950. No. 479 
(NYLON X LOOMIS S Q 72). Mid-season 
to late, 40 inches. Mallow pink, a shade 
often associated with heather, with a heavy 
tangerine beard. When the late Hans P. 
Sass visited our garden in May of 1949, he 
considered this seedling to be the most 
valuable one in the garden for breeding. 
He and Henry, who brought him for this 
last visit, each carried a stalk of it home 
to use the pollen. So—for use in breeding, 
not as a finished iris, we offer it to those 
of you who are interested. Plants very 
strong, hardy and free with bloom, pollen 
and increase. $3.00, 3 for $6.00 
A thing of beauty is a joy forever: 
Its loveliness increases. —Keats.
