Text Appearing Before Image:
IRMA MELROSE (DeForest, '56) Each $8.00 Extra large lemon-yellow with faint plicata markings near the beard and throat. Although of unusual size the ruffled flowers are graceful and long lasting in rain or sun. Stems are very tall but strong and well branched. 38-40 inches. HM AIS, 1956. JANE PHILLIPS (Graves, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 A new light blue that is deeper in color than Helen McGregor, of which it is a seedling. It resembles its famous parent in foiin and size but because it carries more color it is distinct and worthy in its own right. "We have seen no Iris which appears nearer true blue. HM AIS, 1950; AM. 1952. See page 33. JUNE BRIDE (Hall, '52) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 The picture on page 31 is not quite right for this luscious, mouth- watering, deep apricot-pink with the heavy geranium-red beard. It is much more pink and less buff than the color plate indicates. Such delectable shades are associated with Tuberous Begonias and Gladioli but we have never seen them in any Iris. Large flower, horizontal falls, 30 inches in height. HM AIS. 1952. JUNE MEREDITH (Muhlestein, '54) Each $6.00 A complete self of rich, deep pink. In our opinion it is the best pink which this well known hybridizer has produced. Color is uniform in both standards and falls; vivid and alive. Large flowers on 36-inch stems. HM AIS, 1954; AM, 1956. Runner-up for the Dykes Medal in 1958. JUNE SUNLIGHT (McCormick, '53) Each $2.50 Another brand new solid golden yellow, quite late, which will crowd any of the very best for first place. The large, smooth flowers have no haft markings. HM AIS. 1953. KARACHI (Schreiner, '58) Each $12.00 Newest of the deep burgundy wine-on-white plicatas, darker, richer and redder than Port ^Vine or Bazaar. In fact, this one is far more red than anything else and the only white in it appears as a patch in the center area of the broad falls. Large, perfectly formed, on 3-foot stems. HM AIS. 1958.

ORIENTAL GLORY KAZAK (Craig, '57) Each $7.50 A huge full yellow plicata with border of Kazak or near maroon. It's the largest, fullest, finest and brightest flower of this color pattern. The wide branched stem is perfect, the flowering period exceptionally long and heavy: plant vigor is ideal. Height 36 inches. KIKI (Graves, '51) Each $5.00 From a cross of Helen McGregor and Great Lakes came this marvelous clear blue of spreading fomi. Rarely seen but sure to please those look- ing for clean sparkling color. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1953. LADY ALBRIGHT (Muhlestein, '50) Each $1.50 A beautiful and brilliant blend, the standards golden copper and the falls deep lavender-rose with an edge to match the standards. Nothing else like it. 36-inch, well branched stems. HM AIS. 1950. LADY MOHR (Salbach, '44) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 A new and altogether different addition to the interesting Wm. Mohr family of Iris, this one brings a color combination previously unknown in the tall bearded group. Standards are oyster-white, huge and slightly fluted, with strong midribs. Falls are pale chartreuse or greenish yellow, with prominent \eining. There is a very prominent clark patch surrounding the beard. HM AIS, 1944: AM, 1946. Illustrated on page 26. OLA KALA (40)
