HELEN McGREGOR (Graves 1946) 
DYKES MEDAL 1949. Large, flaring, 
perfectly formed,.daintily ruffled 
flowers in a clear, lustrous, very 
light blue with a flush of silvery 
white around the near white beards. 
A thrifty, free bloomer that's es- 
pecially fine for cutting. 36 in. 1.00 
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. 2.00 
HI-TIME (Hall 1950) 
One of those luscious and amazing 
golden-apricot colors with heavy, 
tangerine beards that seem to throw 
reddish reflections into the hearts 
of the flowers. Imagine this silky 
textured, full bodied, medium large 
"lovely" planted, or arranged in 
bouquets, with dark, blue-purples. 
Nicely branched 32-34" stalks. 2.00 
HIT PARADE (Hall 1947) 
Self, and one of the better Flamingo 
pinks. This one is a smoothly colored 
medium toned pink, a bit ruffled 
and larger flowered than many of the 
others with the characteristic shell- 
pink buds and tangerine beards. An 
easy grower with 30-34" stalks. of 5 
HURRICANE (Craig 1949) 
Onco-bred. Big Mohr formed flowers 
in a lovely powder-blue, usually, 
(depending on the weather) flecked 
over all with purple spots. Good 
bloomer with 34-38 in. stalks. 3,00 
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 good form and 
fine branching make it "hard to beat" 
at the flower shows. 38" stalks. 1.00 
INDIANA NIGHT (Cook 1942) 
Self - and a lovely one. Very dark, 
lustrous, velvety blue-purple several 
shades bluer and brighter than most 
other dark purples. Beautiful big, 
blocky flowers with very few haft 
markings. A good grower but not a 
fast increaser. 36 in. stalks. es
