GOLDEN SUNSHINE (Schreiner, '52) Each $1.00 Not deep golden, not lemon, but a clean, clear blight yellow of an intermediate tone. This is a big flower with wide petals and lo\elv form—"soft as sunshine on a spring day!" 38 inelies. HM AIS, 1954; AM, 1956. Illustrated on page 28. GOLDEN YEARS (Hall, '61) Each $15.00 When Colilen (.ailand appeared in 195;!, Da\e Hall seized upon it at once as a forerunner of "things to come" in combinations of lacy white fringed with gold. In the past few years a vast number of the offspring from this great Iris have come into flower amongst his seedlings. The one selected as most outstanding was given the name of "Golden Years" in fond recognition of the era into which Mr. Hall's long association with Iris is now fitted. The depth of rich goklen yellow in the standards and on the fringed falls is not ample in oin- illusiralion nor is the clean, sharp contrast of color adequate. See page 58. GOLD PIECE (Schreiner, '59) Each $7.50 Solid goklen yellow with conical rullled standards and very spreading falls, poised as if in full flight. The leathery texline is derived from Inca Chief, a parent. The brilliant Golden Simshine is also in its breeding. 33 inches; midseason. HM AIS, 1959, GRACIE PFOST (E. Smith, '61) Each $25.00 A new blend in shades of henna-brown and copper- rose, simply colossal in size and up to 10 inches in heiglit of stem.

GRAND CANYON (Kleinsorge, '41) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 An odd blend of rallier dec;J tones of plum and copper, and gold. F.ntireh dilferent from any Iris we have ever introduced, it is an Iris to be admired at close range and is especially suited to bringing indoors and associat- ing with Oriental rugs, .\ttractively formed and deli- cately ruffled. .About 40 inches tall, perfectly branched, and it flowers over a \erv long seasoTi. HM AIS, 1943: AM, 1911. GRAND COULEE (Plough, '58) Each $10.00 A \ery large and beaulilulK fringed and rulfled yellow ish tan with rose blendings, I he beard is contrasting bright yellow.

Brown, '60) Each $20,00 We hear a great deal about "green Iris" these days but the term is largely an exaggeration.

Height 36 inches. / was attracted with the "more jor your money" ads that I read. I wish now I had spent my quota with you and have a lesser amount of plants like you sent me. I've learned my lesson and will be a Cooley customer jrom now on!" MRS. VERLENE HEA'DRICKS, Roswell, New Mexico "They were surely a very nice lot of Iris and came through in very good condition. I hope to do more business with your comDany.'^ HAROLD H. BROWN. Wallingjord, Connecticut "Yours are by far the best in every way of any I have ever received.
