GREEN MOHR (Muhlestein 1951) M. L. The cross of (Wm. 
Mohr x Chosen) has produced an unusual and exotic flower 
in a medley of color giving the effect of a chartreuse blend. 
I am fascinated by the unique color. Pollen fertile. H.M.,

HARVEST BLUE (G. P. Brown 1950) V. L. The best fall 
blooming iris that I have seen. A descendant of the famous 
iris, Missouri, it has inherited the blue coloring and the same 
flaring form. The closed standards and styles are medium 
lavender blue, broad and full. The deeper blue falls flare 
widely and have a touch of brown at the haft, beard yellow. 
A reliable fall bloomer. 20 in. $3.00 
HEART’S DESIRE (J. Wills 1950) M. Brilliant rose-red in 
color with wide branching and strong sturdy growth. This 
iris has an exceptionally smooth finish, heavy substance and 
long season of bloom. The domed and overlapping standards 
are rose-red. The lightly ruffled semi-flaring falls a deeper 
velvety red with a touch of copper brown at the haft. Free 
flowering, it increases rapidly. 38 in. $3.00 
HEIGHO (Craig 1949) M. L. The immense globe like flowers 
have very heavy substance and both standards and falls are 
unusually broad and full. A clear Bradley’s violet self with 
a hint of a signal patch at the tip of the dull orange gold 
beard. A very vigorous and prolific Oncocyclus hybrid. 
H.M., A.J. S. 1949. 45 in. $3.00 
HELEN COLLINGWOOD (K. Smith 1949) M. L. A very 
brilliant iris in the neglecta class. The standards are light 
lavender, broad and firmly held. The bright violet-purple 
falls are flaring with wide hafts. The heavy substanced 
flowers have a neat ruffling at the border. The tall sturdy 
stalks are well branched and the growth is vigorous. A dis- 
tinctive iris of great charm and beauty. H.M., A.1I.S. 1950. 
A.M., A.I.S. 1952. 40 in. $7.50 
HELEN McGREGOR (Graves 1946) M. L. The color is clear 
blue, lighter than Great Lakes and with not a trace of laven- 
der in it. The flowers are large of rounded form with very 
broad hafts and beautiful ruffling on the border of both 
standards and falls. The flowers have exceptionally heavy 
substance and the very sturdy stalks are adequately branched 
to display the blooms. The refinement of form and beauty 
of color are ideal and quite different from any other iris.

HELEN McKENZIE (Graves 1950) M. Clarity of color and 
perfection of form are the outstanding features of this pure 
white iris; it is really white with no haft markings or touch 
of any other color in its makeup. For comparison it was 
planted by the side of Priscilla that has been considered the 
whitest iris in existence, and truly Helen McKenzie was 
whiter. The standards are perfectly domed and firmly held. 
The falls, flaring and broad, the firm, smooth texture of the 
blooms, and the perfect placement on the well branched 
stalks place this iris at the top in the white iris class. H.C.,

HUMMING BIRD (Knowlton 1952) M. Light and airy, the 
very ruffled flowers of Egyptian buff and white have great 
appeal in their luminous color harmony. The crisp fluted 
standards are buff, firmly held by the strong midrib. The 
broad flaring falls are white, lightly bordered with the buff 
of the standards, and the center of the flower is illumined by 
a deeper glow accentuated by the short orange beard. The 
flowers have firm texture, and are poised on strong well 
branched stalks. A charming iris. H.C., A.I.S. 1950. H.M.,

HURRICANE (Craig 1949) M. Immense broad flaring flow- 
ers of toughest texture. Almost a self of pale powder blue, 
suffused in an exotic manner with touches of a darker blue. 
The color pattern is fascinating. This beautifully formed, 
very floriferous iris is rated by many A.I.S. Judges as the 
best Oncocyclus hybrid from Mr. Craig. H.M., A.I.S. 1949. 
38 in. $3.00 
HYBLAZE (H. F. Hall 1952) M. The color of many red iris 
has a tendency to thin out and fade under hot sun, and the 
flowering stalks are inclined to be short and not too well 
branched, but Hyblaze has overcome these failings. It is a 
tall two-toned red of large size, and has splendid carrying 
qualities in the garden. The dominant color of the firmly 
domed standards is chrysanthemum crimson. The broad 
arched falls are oxblood red, bordered with the same bright 
tone of the standards. The whole effect is a rich deep red 
with firm substanced flowers that withstand the elements 
to a marked degree. Well branched stalks. 40 in.

ICE CARNIVAL (Watkins-Graves 1954) M.L. This iris is 
derived from Jane Phillips x Mt. Jefferson and is a most 
distinctive break in color pattern. A very flaring flower 
with white falls, and full standards of light azure blue. The 
whole flower is very frilled and ruffled with cool crisp 
iridescence, and it is the best reverse blue bicolor that I have 
seen. Delightful and refreshing, it possesses an unusual and 
individual beauty that is difficult to describe. Tall with firm 
substanced flowers and excellent branching. H.C., A.I.S.

stance and are evenly spaced on extra well branched stalks.

stanced and the sturdy stalks are well branched. 36 in.

JANE PHILLIPS (Graves 1950) M. This beautiful blue is a 
child of the famous iris Helen McGregor. A very clear blue 
self with well domed standards, arched and smoothly fin- 
ished, the semi-flaring falls are lightly fluted at the edges. 
Firm textured and of exquisite color, it possesses that mark 
of distinction that is a characteristic of so many iris bred by 
Dr. Graves and his able assistant, Edward Watkins. This 
iris has been tested in many parts of this country as well as 
in England and is in high favor wherever grown. H.C.,

KEZAR LAKE (Knowlton 1951) M. A clear medium blue 
that was named for the beautiful Maine lake where for many 
years the Knowltons spent their summers. The first time 
I saw this iris I was impressed by the blueness of its color. 
A self with large flowers that is more blue and without the 
self veining that is found in Great Lakes, one of its parents. 
The wide standards are domed and firmly held by the strong 
midrib; the rounded falls are broad and flaring with a slight

iris withstands rain, sun and wind unusually well H. C., A.
