HELEN COLLINGWOOD (K. Smith 1949) ML. 38’. * 
Brilliant and vivid in pattern this two toned, cheerful Ivis 
possesses light lavender standards and bright violet purple 
falls which contrast strikingly, HM’50. AM’52. $19.90 
HELEN McGREGOR (Graves 1946) EM. 36”. * 
The illustration of this Iris aristocrat shows the superb form 
and beauty of coloring of this supreme light blue. An ethereal 
clear light blue, the large, rounded and ruffled blossoms give 
a feeling of tranquility, serenity and repose marking it as a 
top notch Iris indeed. A Queen in the Iris Greats. Illustrated 
on page 22. Dykes Medal Winner in iKGyE8), 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00 
HELEN McKENZIE (Graves 1950) M. 35”. 
Clarity of color, pure white without a single touch of off 
color, is the greatest attribute of this classically pure white Iris. 
Undoubtedly the purest white we grow. Perfect form, much 
admired. HM/’50. $8.00 
HERITAGE (D. Hall 1949) EM. 34’. * 
If you are intrigued by the new pinks this is one to consider. 
A slightly deeper flamingo than Cherie with nicely formed, 
informally waved petals, it has of course the effective tan- 
gerine beard to cap its delicate beauty; very nice. See this 
Iris in color on page 9. HM’49. AM’51. $5.00 
HI-TIME (D. Hall 1950) EM. 34”. 
This golden apricot with its full, deep tangerine red beard 
is an engaging color, as fresh and lustrous as a grove of ripen- 
ing peaches. Though the flowers are medium in size, the color 
value is excellent. HM’50. $3.50 
ILLINOIS SUNSHINE (Faught 1946) E. 38”. 
A rich golden yellow color with a bright orange beard. ‘The 
falls have creamy white brushing. Large flowers, tall stems. 
weather resistant qualities. HM’49. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
INCA CHIEF (Mitsch 1952) ML. 35’. * 
It is not often that a celebrated cross is repeated by a second 
hybridizer and a seedling raised that excels the earlier pro- 
geny of the cross. But that is just what has happened in this 
case. A providential juxtaposition of the genes from the va- 
rieties Mexico and Tobacco Road has produced an Iris both 
larger and more vivid than Good News yet with the softer ton- 
al qualities of Cascade Splendor. In size Inca Chief is spec- 
tacular! It is one of the largest Iris in our fields. In color it 
is really vibrant—a brilliant, lustrous, burnished golden 
bronze, evenly colored throughout. The perfect proportions of 
the bloom, the gentle ruffling, the regal carriage, the immense 
size and magnificent coloring make this easily one of the 
outstanding Iris. Pictured page 41. HM’52. $15.00 
INDIANA NIGHT (Cook 1942) ML. 38’. * 
Majestic and stately seedling of Sable of richest velvety blue 
purple, almost black. Larger, taller and later blooming than 
Sable, one of the richest and most satisfying dark Iris. Pic- 
tured page 31. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
INSPIRATION (Stevens 1937) M. 38”. * 
This sensational, vividly colored Iris is always the focus of 
attention. One of the richest of all the rose toned Iris, the 
giant blooms possess an unrivaled lustre. In tone it is 
light carmine or rose-cerise, as gorgeous a color as can be 
imagined. Without doubt it is one of the most popular 
Iris we grow. Fragrant. Illustrated on page 32. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
ITALIAN JOY (Stevens 1947) ML. 36”. 
Certain Iris are superior to others for garden effect due to 
their fine color carrying qualities. Such an Iris is Italian 
Joy with its rich color and pert air. The color is a glowing rosy 
wine flushed bronze with the falls a deeper shade of brilliant 
fuchsia, glowing and vivid. $1.50 
JANE PHILLIPS (Graves 1950) EM. 34’. * 
Here is a deluxe blue. A descendent of the famous Helen 
McGregor it has the fine form and poise of this splendid 
variety slightly deeper in color. It and Cahokia rank as two 
of our bluest varieties. Pictured on page 21. HM’50. AM’52.
