Large flowers and tall. H.M. 45¢ 
HEART’S DESIRE. (J. Wills, 1950). M. 
Brilliant rose-red in 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 flower- 
ing, it increases rapidly. 38 in. $5.00 
HEATHER ROSE. (Hall, 1950). This is a 
large, rosy, orchid-pink, but of a differ- 
ent shade from any Iris we have seen. 
The color is new, pleasing and very close 
to that of Scotch heather. Form, stem and 
branching are all good. It is a vigorous 
prower. $8.00 
HEIGHO. (Craig, 1949). M.L. The im- 
mense globe like flowers have very heavy

patch at the tip of the dull orange gold 
beard. A very vigorous and prolific On- 
cocyclus hybrid with a remarkably long

bridizing, surely. H.M. 1950. Award 
Merit, 1952. $17.50 
HELEN McGREGOR. (Graves, 1946). 
Clear pale blue, pure and uniform in color, 
the sensation of the Iris world the year 
of its introduction. Of perfect form, flar- 
ing and daintily ruffled, very large, beau- 
tifully spaced on nice stems, it is not only 
supreme as a light blue but ranks as one 
of the best of all new Irises. H.M., A.LS., 
1946; A.M., 1948; Dykes Medal, 1949. $2.00 
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 
marknigs or touch of any other color in 
its makeup. 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.LS., 1947. H.M., A.LS., 1950. 37 in. $15.00

pink of a deeper tone than Hit Parade or

color. A nice full petaled flower of heavy 
substance with slightly ruffled semi-flar- 
ing falls and nicely held standards. It’s 
a smooth self with no haft markings and 
has a bright tangerine beard. Height, 34

HI-TUME. (Hall, 1950). A lustrous golden | 
apricot color, called by some a peach-pink 
although not actually a pink at all. It 
has a full deep tangerine beard and is a 
self with no heft markings. The medium 
large flowers of heavy silky texture have 
fine form and are carried on 34-inch well 
branched strong stems. H.M., A.LS., 
1950. $8.00 
HIT PARADE. (Hall, 1947). Another 
flamingo pink, with some ruffling, good 
form and substance, and a little larger 
flower than Courtier or Floradora, car- 
ried on well-branched 34-inch stems. 
Color is lighter than Courtier and deeper 
than Floradora and it has the character- 
istic tangerine beard. $1.50

mense broad flaring flowers 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 Oncocy- 
clus hybrid from Mr. Craig. H.M., A.LS., 
1949. 38 in. $15.00
