HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Hall 1952) 
The newest and greatest of all the 
Flamingo-pinks to come from the gar- 
dens of Mr. Hall to date. Here we have 
deeper color, nicely ruffled, well 
formed, much larger flowers, tangerine 
beards and a robust plant. Happy 
birthday to-o "somebody". 36 in. 10 
HELEN McGREGOR (Graves 1946) 
DYKES MEDAL winner for 1949. Large, 
perfectly formed, beautifully ruffled 
flowers in a clear, lustrous, very 
light blue with a flush of silvery 
white around its near white beards. 
A thrifty, free bloomer that’s es- 
pecially fine for cutting. 36 in. ] 
HIS EXCELLENCY (K. Smith 1948) 
A new version of that lovable, "pansy 
colored" old favorite "Louvois" in a 
larger, brighter and better all-round 
iris. The S are tan flushed pink, the 
falls a rich, lustrous dark brown 
bordered light tan. 36" stalks. 2 
HI-TIME (Hall 1950) 
One of those amazing golden~apricoty 
colors with bright tangerine beards 
that seem to throw peachy—pink re- 
flections into the whole flower. Silky 
textured, medium large flowers, 
luscious for cutting. 30-34 in. 3 
HIT PARADE (Hall 1947) 
Self, and one of the better Flamingo 
pinks. This one a bit ruffled and 
larger flowered than some of the 
others. A smoothly colored, medium 
toned pink with the characteristic 
seashell—pink buds and tangerine 
beards. 32-36 in. stalks. ul 
ILLINOIS (Hall 1949) 
A great big creamy-yellow noted for 
its fine finish, pure coloring and 
husky, free blooming qualities. All 
this together with its big flower and 
fine branching make it “hard to beat" 
at flower show exhibitions. 38 in. 1 
INDIANA NIGHT (Cook 1942) 
Self - and a lovely one. Very dark, 
lustrous, velvety blue-purple several 
shades bluer and brighter than Sable 
and with far less haft markings. A 
somewhat slow increaser but it grows 
nicely and it is a beautiful, out- 
Standing flower. 36 in. stalks.
