Text Appearing Before Image:
FUSILIER (Tompkins, '58) Each $15.00 A brand new orange-yellow self, including the beard, near to chrome- orange by the color chart. This was outstanding in the Fleur-de-Lis gardens last season and we are glad to offer it as one of the best and newest of all yellows. Large, heavily ruffled, velvety textured. 38 inches. GALA FINALE (DeForest, '50) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 Strong, deep yellow, heavily overlaid Indian red and appears from a distance to be red. A fancy and very colorful plicata with great garden value. 36 inches tall. GARDEN FLAME (H. Sass, '41) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 A very deep rose-mahogany, if you can imagine such a color. Called by some judges rose-red, but it is nearer garnet, with a deep rose and brown area about the center. It has no haft markings, making it one of the richest and handsomest of all dark Iris. Large, with very broad falls, and it blooms quite late. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1943. See page 31

GARDEN GLORY (Whiting, '43) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 A pure self of rich Bordeaux-red; a seedling from Red Douglas crossed with Garden Magic. This is one of the nearest to true red of any Iris ever flowered in our gardens; pure, deep and rich, with no haft venation whatsoever. Smoothly finished with deep bronze- gold beard. Height 33 inches. HM AIS, 1945; AM, 1947. GARDEN GOLD (Hall, '56) Each $6.00 Solid, deep chrome-yellow throughout, except for the fiery orange- red beard. While the beard is not actually red it is so deep an orange tone as to appear almost red and certainly sets this Iris apart from all other yellows. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1957. GAY BORDER (DeForest, '49) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 If you like plicatas and are looking for a new and distinct effect in this line we think you will be pleasantly surprised by this one. The impression is that of a clean white flower bordered and stitched with red. The wide falls have a touch of gold at the haft. Large, tall and well branched. HM AIS, 1949. In group picture on page 28.
