strong stalk, and about 38 in. tall. $1.00

TOURNAMENT. (J. Wills, 1948). L. This 
large luminous iris is one of the best in 
the rose-purple class, really more rose 
than purple. Its color carries to a great 
distance in the garden. The rounded 
flowers have broad full standards and 
wide semi-flaring falls, enriched with a 
velvety brown overlay on the hafts. Gold 
substanced flowers, strong, sturdy stalks.

of bloom. H. M., A. I. S., 1948. 42 in. $3.00

large milk-white flower on perfectly

most novel new thing with light yellow

out almost flat, as in Tobacco Road and

sparkling; 40 in. tall. H. M., A. I. S., 1950. 
$4.50 
TREVA. (DeForest, 1945). Golden apri- 
cot self, of large size and smooth, spread- 
ing form. Closed domed standards. 90c 
TRULY YOURS. (Fay, 1949). The heart 
of this spectacular creation is bright 
yellow, shading off to almost white at the 
top of the standards and the bottom of 
the falls. The entire flower is ruffled and 
edged in lace, like Chantilly. Unopened 
buds are yellow, because the undersides 
of the falls are yellow although faced 
white on top! Gigantic in size, 38 inches 
tall; very late. H. M., A. I. S., 1949. Dykes 
Medal, 1953. $22.50

exceptional form and substance with pink 
buds and red beard. Parentage is Pink

this the best out of hundreds of seedlings 
raised for clear pinks. It is of lovely form 
and tailored appearance, soft, clean, deep 
pink with red tinged beard; 35 inches tall. 
EL VE Loar dO00. $1.50 
TWENTY GRAND. (Norton, ’53). A cross

broad tan gold border, heavily crinkled 
edges of same color. Beard orange. 36 
inches tall, well branched, and fairly 
large flower; second only to Remember 
Me. Priced too low. $12.00 
The list of 100 Favorite Iris of the Amer- 
ican Iris Society is here in this Catalog. 
These selections by members are adjudged 
the best favorites for 1953. 
VATICAN PURPLE. (Whiting, 1943). M. 
L. 38 inches. Rich and majestic, a glossy 
blue-purple self with a satin-like finish. 
Heavily textured, broad formed blooms, 
wide spreading falls. Tall stalks carry 
many flowers. This color is always need- 
ed in the garden and this Iris is a reliable 
grower where many darks are less so. 
H. M., 1943. $1.00 
VANITY FAM. (Hall, 1951). Clear med- 
ium true pink, very smooth and tailored 
in appearance. Near the color of Cherie, 
perhaps, but really does not resemble it. 
This is almost an ideal flamingo-pink 
Iris, with lots of color, stems at least three 
feet in height, beautiful form and a very 
fiery tangerine beard. It is very late. 
Cherie x Fantasy. H. M., A. I. S., 1952. 
$15.00
