ORELIO (DeForest, '47) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 Deep crimson-brown, more red than brown. Obtained from Casa Morena crossed with Garden Flame, which will convey some idea as to the color of this rich Iris. It is large, tall and well branched. HM AIS, 1948. Shown on page 29. ORIENTAL GLORY (Salbach, '50) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 Stunning rich red blend, with mahogany standards and falls ma- hogany-brown shading to gold at the haft. The entire center of each fall carries a very brilliant blue blaze. Different and well named. HM AIS, 1952. PACEMAKER (Lapham, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 One of the best red Iris of all. The color is uniform in standards and falls without veins on the haft; a warm red tone, on the orange rather than the purple or wine side. The rich beard is bronzy gold. 36 inches in height. HM AIS, 1950. PAGAN PRINCESS (Douglas, '48) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 Deep pink to rose to velvety fuchsia-red, with tan- gerine-red beard. The rounded falls are bordered pink, like the standards. Tall, slender stems but the flowers are of great size. A good contrast with the "flamingo-pinks." PALE PRIMROSE (Whiting, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 A late, cool primrose-yellow with a touch of wax- yellow at the haft. Of an attractive and useful color, the form of this Iris is its great distinctive feature. It is oval with standards closed and swirled at the top; the falls are long but so wide they nearly touch each other, the effect is of a huge yellow rosebud. Very late, high branched and tall—most effective in back of a planting. HM AIS, 1950. See page 29. PALOMINO (Hall, '52) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Related to the pinks but the only suggestion of pink is in the standards. The falls are pale ivory with an amber-copper shoulder and thin band all the way around. Beard is like a bonfire, rich, redder and more dominant than the illustration inside the front cover, although this is really a very excellent portrayal of this variety. For size. form, substance, branching and truly marvelous color this is indeed supreme. Height 3 ft. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954. Shown also on page 23. PASTELLA (Hall, '53) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Extra large lavender-rose self, from flamingo-pink parentage. Pastella is not a pink, however. It is a luscious shade of lavender with an all-over rosy cast, standards and falls the same color. The beard is tangerine-orange. Of medium height and with limited branching, but so outstanding otherwise as to attract attention from all visitors. HM AIS, 1956. PATHFINDER (Whiting, '48) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 A big, broad petaled. pearly rose-pink with very heavy substance. Actually a blend, rather than a pink, with some coppery suffusion about the haft and style arms. The beard is yellow. Height 36 inches HM AIS, 1948. See page 22. PATIENCE (Schortman, '55) Each $4.00 A rare shade of rich magenta or light red-violet, standards and falls uniform in color, the beard cream tipped yellow. Wide petaled and very large in size, the branching ideal and the heavv stems reaching 40 inches. HM AIS, 1956; AM, 1958. PATRICE (DeForest, '45) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 A white plicata which we like very much and which we regard as different from the many others listed. Standards light cream flushed pale rosy lavender; falls sparkling white brushed bright gold across the haft which is speckled rose-brown. Refined, clean and very brilliant. Tall and large, with all good points. HM AIS, 1946. See page 33. PATRICIAN (H. Hall, '53) Each $3.50 Here is an Iris which has forged into the forefront of recent novelties, and with good reason. Standards are pure white, lightly flushed yel- low at the base. The falls are wide and flaring, also white, but with a heavy overlay of gold entirely covering the hafts. Exceptionally large, evenly balanced. HM AIS, 1953; AM, 1958; President's Cup, 1958. 36 inches in height. See page 9. PHOEBUS APOLLO (White, '54) Each $3.00 One of the deepest, brightest and richest of the yellows. Said to con- tain some onco blood but neither blossom nor plant growth indicates this. The coloring is intense and clear, the flowers ruffled and semi- flaring. A real beauty! 38-inch stems. HM AIS, 1955. PIERRE MENARD (Fought, '48) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Finest of the new medium toned blues. The introducer calls it a hyacinth-blue, with some of the fine netting in slightly deeper shade that distinguishes Great Lakes. Beard is canary-yellow. Very flaring in form, large, with broad segments. 36 to 40 inches tall. A verv late Iris. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1950. See page 30. MY HONEYCOMB
