We Vutroduce for 1999... 
FANFAIRE. (Naylor 1955). We would all be thrilled with a pure orange 
Iris, and while this charming new creation is not just that, it is a de- 
cided step in the right direction. The coloring is a luscious deep orange 
pink with the beard a trifle deeper in color, The individual florets leave 
nothing to be desired for they flare beautifully, are of large size and 
the placement on the stalk is almost ideal. The standards are nicely 
waved but the falls are strictly tailored, rather than ruffled, affording 
a new pattern in construction, a very welcome variation from the 
conventional type. Best of all, the stalk grows a full 38 inches in my 
garden and is beautifully branched. It was much admired by Dr. 
Kleinsorge and David Hall, and the plant is Hall line bred. The pod 
parent is Dolly. Varden 22.2... Strictly NET $35.00

OLD ROSE. (David Hall). Never introduced, but in our opinion one of the 
finest of all pink Iris. It is richly colored, shading to deep rose and is 
among the largest and the tallest Iris in the PATO Cs ee eee NET 15.00 
BLUEBEARD. (David Hall Seedling). Will never be introduced, but it is a

Probably the finest of the new Great Lakes seedlings, the stock available 
is very scarce indeed. We will release 5 plants -............--.-----------eeeeeee NET 20.00 
ENGRAVED. (Craig, 1952). This is so striking in color and pattern and so 
few seem familiar with it, that we think it belongs rightfully among the 
novelties this year. It is strictly a “Fancy,” a very bizarre creation 
indeed, the ground color being a handsome pearl grey and the whole flower 
intensely lined with deep bluish grey stripes ...........-2.------------------e eee NET 5.00 
‘LINABETH. (DeForrest, 1954). A very delicately tinted new Iris ‘of 
pink and white shadows, very large, crisp and starchy in appearance.

MAY HALL. (D. Hall, 1954). In the opinion of Mr. Hall, this is his finest 
pink Iris to date. It should be, for he gave it his wife’s name, and if 
you know the Halls, this is enough. It is a clean, pure shell pink,
