SYMPHONY (H/n/c/e, '58) Each $10.00 Gracefullv lufHed sea-blue self, slightly lighter in the center of the falls and with some darker texttire veining. Petals are wide and full, crisp and firm in substance. Midseason; 38 inches. HM AIS, 1958. Shown on back cover. TABU (Schreiner, '54) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 An ebony-bkie-black self; even the beard is virtually black. Petals are glossv and shine in the sun. A larger, taller and much better fornfed Black Forest. Height 38 inches. HM AIS, 1954. TAHOLAH (Gibson, '56) Each $5.00 The picture on page 34 will convey a much more complete and ac- curate description of this new plicata than simple words can tell. We had this big ruffled novelty on trial in our display garden for two seasons before deciding to introduce it. The ground color is creamy ivory, the standards heavily shaded cinnamon-red and the falls are evenly brushed with this same russet-red tint on the haft and at the outer edges. Long lasting, very large, on stout 3-foot stems. The Indian name means "Village by the Sea." HM .MS, 1956; AM, 1958. TALLCHIEF (Deforest, '56) Each $3.00 Bright, richly glowing red self, with brilliant or- ange beard. By the Ridgeway color chart it is Brazil- red to carmine. A real advance in red Iris, tall, and very well branched. HM AIS, 1957. See page 12. TALLY-HO (Hall, '49) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 The upper part of the falls is close to the deep color- ing seen in bright fuchsia colored Orchids. The domed standards and lower part of the falls arc lighter. This is something new, pleasing and differ- ent! The 32-inch stems are stout but a little closely branched for such large flower. HM AIS, 1950. TECHNY CHIMES (Bro. Charles, '55) Each $3.00 A gorgeous light yellow with very deep red-orange beard. From similar breeding as the new Garden Gold, but a different shade of yellow and very unlike it in form. This is certainly a striking Iris and the branching is a special feature. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1957; tied for Dykes Medal in I960. 36 inches. See page 11. TEMPLE BELLS (Hall, '52) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Larger and more metallic colored Hi-Time—a sort of apricot-yellow with no peachy undertone. The blooms are extra large, the falls flaring way out and then drooping gracefully with a slight ruflle. Note the heavy red-orange beard. A seed- ling of Dolly Varden, considered by Mr. Hall as his finest golden apricot self, 36 inches, well branched. HM AIS, 19.52. See page 35. THE CITADEL (Wafkins, '54) Each $2.50 Here is a seedling of the grand pure white Helen McKenzie and one which most critics agree will be a leader for years to come. It would be hard to imagine any- thing more nearly perfect. HM AIS, 1954; AM, 1959. THOTMES III (Kleinsorge, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Years ago we introduced Tobacco Road. Since then the Kleinsorge "browns" have become known and grown the world over . . . deep browns, pale tans, sidtry blends in many hues. This one is medium light in tone, a smooth self of glistening golden tan with a light bronze beard. It is a gigantic Iris with extra broad falls and heavy texture. 40 inches tall. HM AIS. 1951; AM, 1953. One of the "Five Iris of the Year" for 1959. Shown on page 38. TOAST AN' HONEY (Kle insorge, '58) Each $3.00 An altogether different tan and brown Iris from the originator of such things as San Antone and Thotmes III. A full and generously proportioned flower, with wide segments, the falls flaring ane' waved at the edges. General color is rich light golden brown, like butter and honey, and the falls are shaded deeper toast-brown, especially on the edges and near the hafts. It is of stocky build, well branched, with verv large blooms produced on 32- inch stems. HM AIS, 1955. See page 11. TOLL GATE (Cook, '59) Each $15.00 From the same line of breeding as Whole Cloth. Standards are palest blue—almost white—the falls dark violet with a long yellow beard extending across the lighter haft. Very tall, with many large flowers per stem; widely spaced, it should be very valuable to hv- bridizeis. HM AIS, 1959. TOP FAVORITE (Schreiner, '57) Each $3.00 Colossal orchid-pink, derived from Pink Plume and Pathfinder. The beard is white and there is a soft overlay of amber-buff at the center of the flower. Color is clear and bright and the blossoms are ideallv formed, flaring and ruHled at the outer edges. It is tall, strong and branched to perfection. HM AIS, 1957. "Received our Iris today. Thank you lor the wonderful service and plants you have given us every time." MR. & MRS. EARL FR.4ZIER, Triadelphia. West Virginia MY HONEYCOMB
