Minnie Colquitt — Massive white plicata that is really dif- 
ferent. The stitching of bright purple comes in broad lines 
about the standards and falls alike. An impressive flower on 
tall heavy stalks, completely unlike any other plicata.

Missouri—A wonderful porcelain blue. Very smooth finish. 
Fine size and form. Dykes Medal winner.

Nightfall—Falls rich dark pansy purple and standards several 
shades lighter. The whole flower has a sheen like finest 
velvet. 60c each; 3 for $1.50 
Ola Kala (Oh‘la Ka-lah’)—This is the Greek way of saying 
Okay, and this Iris is certainly well named. In 1946 this one 
tied for the Dykes Medal and in 1948 won it outright. Of all 
the fine new yellow Iris now being grown, this is perhaps 
the deepest in color. Heavily ruffled, medium large flowers 
on sturdy 3’ stalks beautifully spaced. Add to this the fact 
that Ola Kala is unusually vigorous and prolific and we 
have an outstanding Iris. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50

deep brown. Little known and rare, but one of the good tans.

desert have gone into the makeup of this stately Iris. It

and carried on 33” stalks. One of the earliest to bloom.

that is a real novelty. The standards are clean sparkling 
white with falls clear primrose yellow. Perfect branching 
on strong 3’ stems. $4.00 each; 3 for $10.50

serves the Dykes Medal which it won in 1943. A marvelous 
blending of all the sunset colors. $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50

Royal Scot—This has been one of the most popular plicatas 
with our visitors for several years. A tall, large flowered 
sort with a very heavy red trim of pleasing burgundy red.

quote from the introducer: “Spanish Peaks is white—noth- 
ing else, just white—as pure and unmarred as the great snow 
masses that cover the lofty peaks for which it is named. The 
throat, the beard, the style-arms—all are white as the gleam- 
ing wastelands that lie beyond the timberline where the 
winter storms are born.” $2.50 each

fiery tangerine beard. Spectacular and very scarce.

Summit (Stevens 1951)—One of the finest of Mrs. Stevens’ 
New Zealand Iris, this shows the greatest contrast between 
the standards and falls among her yellow amoenas. The 
deep golden falls, much deeper than those of Pinnacle, are

ning contrast. A “must have.” $7.50 each
