attractive. $9.00

EXTRAVAGANZA (Douglas 1944) VL. 36”. *

FALL DAYS (K. Smith 1948) E. 36”. 
Fall Days brings to our garden the bright, 
vivid colors of autumn foliage in an Iris. 
Rose, copper and bronze blended. $7.50 
FANTASY (Hall 1947) EM. 30”. * 
Possessing that touch of distinction, this Iris 
is one of our favorites. Different from any 
other sort of rose and orchid pink combina- 
tion, the shadings have a touch of purplish 
raspberry about them. The broad, full 
blooms have a bit of a ruffle, the heart of 
the flower is brilliantly lit up by an effec- 
tive tangerine beard. HM’47. AM’49. See 
page 30. $7.50 
FAR HILLS (Wills 1949) M. 38”. 
Cool and refreshing. Probably the deepest 
of the clear orchid pinks. Exceptional car- 
rying qualities as a garden clump. $3.50 
FIRECRACKER (Hall 1943) M. 33”. * 
Brilliant dark burgundy-red marked plicata 
with a yellow trim. This showy Iris with 
its vivid shading of red on yellow looks like 
a red Amaryllis with white stripe from a 
distance. It is an Iris that commands atten- 
tion, snappy and brisk. The most brilliant 
plicata we grow and one we like very much. 
Pictured on page 18. HM’43. 
$2.50; 3 for $6.25 
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. HM’47. $5.00 
FLARE (Schreiner 1951) M. 34”. 
Here is a brilliant flash of color: the stand- 
ards are orange-yellow; the smoothly lac- 
quered falls are a rich red-brown like the 
finish of a horsechestnut when freshly picked 
and still retaining the oily, shiny lustre. 
$3.50 
FLORA ZENOR (J. Sass 1947) EM. 40”. 
Melting pink color, like foam on a strawberry soda, with 
deeper lines of rose at the haft and a vivid shrimp-red beard. 
As a clump it is striking. Close up the flowers are somewhat 
small for the tall stems. HM’42. AM’44. 5Qc; 3 for $1.25 
FRANCELIA (McKee 1944) M. 34”. 
Deservedly this bright chrome-yellow is one of the forefront 
yellows. 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. HM’44. 
$1.50; 3 for $4.00 
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 practically the same shade as the lustrous, fiery falls. 
A “house afire” red; fragrant. $3.00; 2 for $7.50 
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 an Iris garden is incom- 
plete without it. 50c; 3 for $1.25
