AUTUMN BROWN 
(Aberdeen x Bryce Canyon) 
$18.00 
This brilliant dark-brown iris is desir- 
able both for its unusual beauty and its 
performance in the late season. The 
flower, slightly ruffled and of very heavy 
substance has closed cupped standards 
and broad flaring falls with a pleasing 
twist at the tip — “flaring jauntily” as 
one judge described it. Its color is 
unique; rich and full of life. There is an 
overlay of deep red-purple and bur- 
nished gold. A brilliant metallic sheen 
is combined with this smooth blending of 
color, and the result is a lustrous brown 
with ideal carrying qualities — a high- 
light in the garden. The stalk is strong 
and well branched; the plant hardy and 
a good grower. Pollen is fertile both 
ways. 
Late. Stalk 38" H.C.'49 H.M. ’52

HIGHLAND FLING 
Tiffany x (San Francisco x Mme. Aureau) 
$5.00 
This bright red-purple plicata has 
attracted favorable comment from many 
garden visitors. The domed standards 
are heavily flushed and stippled with 
deep, rich red-purple. The semi-flaring 
falls are white, neatly edged with the 
coloring in the standards. The flower is 
slightly ruffled throughout and the sub- 
stance is firm. The stalk is well branched 
and sturdy, the plant hardy and vigo- 
rous. Highland Fling is a brilliant, grace- 
ful and refined iris. 
Mid-season. Stalk 36”.
