MR. WONDERFUL (Crosby, '59) Each $10.00 A new pink with rich color, wide tailored flaring falls and a pink beard. There is a light brushing of gold on the haft. Pink Enchantment and Hall's Flamingo line are in the parentage. 36 inches. HM .-MS, 1959. MY HONEYCOMB (Gibson, '59) Each $8.00 A molasses and honey blended plicata of great size and excellent branching, embracing the quality of Taholah, one of its parents, in a taller and flashing combination of colors. The illustration on page 57 shows what to expect ... a giant Firecracker, deeper, richer and with twice the stem of this fine old favorite. Height 36-38 inches. HM A IS, 1960. NATIVE DANCER (Fay, '54) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 Peach-pink, the beard bright tangerine. Notable for the great quantity of flowers borne on each stem, often up to twelve blooms on the main stem. Wide hafts and semi-flaring falls, the standards closed. 38 inches in height. HM AIS, 1955: AM, 1957. NEW SNOW (Fay, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 A white Iris which is neither a warm nor a cold white but is as white as new snow. The beard is full and light yellow, adding a great deal of life. This is the only color in the flower, as there are no haft veinings or markings. Stalk is sturdy and well branched, 40 inches tall, the big flowers very much ruffled and flaring. One of the world's best white Iris. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1948. NIGHT 'N DAY (DeForesf, '55) Each $2.50 Standards are pale Hortense violet, almost white, the falls broad and flaring; a smooth deep violet overlaid velvei\ black. Beard is rich yellow. One of the very finest in this now popular and striking color combination. 36 inches in height; large flowers. NOMOHR (Gibson, '55) Each $2.50 An odd shade of wax-yellow, described as "bamboo- cream." This is from a cross of Snow Flurry and Elmohr and the very large flowers show their onco parentage. The substance is very thick and heavy, the large blooms beautifully formed. HM AIS, 1956. 40 inches in height. See page 10. NORTHBROOK (Fay, '59) Each $12.50 Near robin's-egg blue—a light blue with a trace of green in tlie blue color. The white beard gives it an especially fresh, clean look. Crisp substance, ruffled and flaring, the large flowers are well spaced on stems over three feet tall. HM AIS, 1959. NUEVO LAREDO (Kleinsorge, '56) Each $2.50 This distinct Iris is an odd shade of coppery tan with suffusion of violet and brown. It is very large in size, the petals waved and curled in the manner of Cascade Splendor, to which it is related. The growth is vigorous, with tall stems and ideal branching. The picture on page 14 is a very good likeness. Named for the colorful Mexican town on the Rio Grande. Height 3'/2 to 4 feet. OH BOY! (Grinfer, '59) Each $3.50 Waxy chrome-yellow, a complete self, very large in size and of extra heavy petal texture. This was sent to us for trial along with Blue Grotto and they make a pair of excellent companions. Heavy stems and foliage. 3 feet tall. OLA KALA (J. Sass, '43) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 Just now we have an abundance of fine deep yellow Irises, but here is one that perhaps outdoes all the others for depth of color and in addition it is heavily ruffled. Medium large flowers on nicely branched. 36-inch stalks. So yellow it is almost on the orange side. HM AIS, 1943: AM, 1945; Dykes Medal, 1948. See page 33.

ORELIO (DeForesf, '47) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 Deep crimson-brown, more red than brown.

ORANGE BANNER (Wafers, '55) Each $3.00 Handsome and brilliant orange-yellow of very large size; it is, in fact, one of the largest of all.

PACEMAKER (iapbam, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 One of the best red Iris of all.

HM AIS, 1950. (49)
