GYPSY (Kleinsorge 1944) L. 38’. 
A warm Orange cast variegata with copper gold standards and 
solid chestnut brown falls. Imposing stems, a vibrantly colored 
Iris. It brings to this class a warmth of coloring many of the 
other varieties lack. HM’45. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
GYPSY ROSE (Whiting 1946) ML. 38’. 
A warm tapestry red, tall and stately, with a smooth brushing 
of copper at the haft and a hint of blue at the tip of the 
yellow beard. The blooms are extra large and broadly round 
in form so it ranks as one of the largest Iris. Well branched 
on strong stems. HM’49. $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
HALOLIGHT (Schreiner 1953) L. 42”. 
A mellifluous blend of golden buff and subtle apricot shot 
with a radiance of pure gold. As our engraver will testify, 
page 54, Halolight beautifully exemplifies the aristocratic 
bearing of a finely bred Iris, opulence of form and _ perfec- 
tion of branching leaving little to be desired. Its smooth color 
and fine branched, tall stem make it an ideal garden subject. 
$18.00 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Hall 1952) M. 38”. 
One of the famous Hall flamingo pinks, this variety along 
with pinker Pink Sensation and Vanity Fair comprise our 
choice of the finest of the flamingo pink line to come from 
the garden of this famous breeder since his introduction of 
Cherie. Happy Birthday is a very vigorous, free growing light 
pink of fine quality. $12.00 
HARRIET THOREAU (Cook 1944) M. 38”. 
Orchid pink self of great style and individuality. Nicely 
formed, slightly waved, floriferous. A fine creation, there is 
a liquid quality to the coloring. It is one of the better Iris in 
this color. HM’45. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
FROLIC 
GOLDEN PLOVER 
HARLEQUIN (Stevens 1949) L. 32”. 
Technically a plicata this fantastic “believe it or not” Iris 
looks like an Oncocyclus hybrid. The heavy silvery falls with 
perky horizontal flare are not only veined like a butterfly’s 
wing, but bizarrely stippled and dappled chocolate and purple 
to match the feathery standards. Exotic, sophisticated, never 
to be forgotten, its weird beauty makes garden visitors ex- 
claim. See page 26 for picture. $3 00 
HEATH CREST (Whiting 1950) ML. 38’. 
With very tall stems this mallow to phlox pink is an ideal 
Iris for the background of your Ivis border. The striking tan- 
gerine beard and pleasant color are perfect foils for many un- 
usual color combinations. $1.50 
HEATHER ROSE (D. Hall 1950) M. 34’. 
The striking combination of a tangerine beard adding zest 
to the tranquil colored rosy orchid ae blooms gives us a 
beautiful tonal value in this Iris. HM’51. $3.50
