DREAM SPUN INDIGLOW (Schortman, '59) Each $10.00 Deepest violet-blue, velvety and brilliant, gigantic in size and fault- less in form. What more can one ask? Placement on the heavy stalks is ideal and they will reach a height of 40 inches. HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1961. "/ received the Iris which I ordered from you. It is not necessary to say that the iris were in good shape and fine quality since I never received an order from you yet that has not been absolutely perfect." Wm. E. Gilson Natrona Hgts., Penna. IN ORBIT (Gibson, '63) Each $10.00 A new pattern in plicatas, as regards both the combination of colors and the striking contrast between standards and falls. Standards are waved and fluted, solid tan with a flush of light violet; the ruffled falls striated and peppered deep plum on a white ground. Large flowers on stocky, 30-inch, well branched stems. HM AIS, 1964. See page 27. IRENE BROWN (R. Brown, '60) Each $7.50 If you are looking for deep color in the pink class you will find it here! Clean and rich in tone, the coral red beard adding to its bright- ness. Large, fairly early, on 40-inch stems. HM AIS, 1962. IRMA MELROSE (Deforest '56) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Extra large lemon-yellow with faint plicata markings near the beard and throat. Although of unusual size the rufHed 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. Shown on page 49. JAN ELIZABETH (Muhlestein, '59) Each $5.00 Luscious blending of Flamingo pink, peach and pale orchid-pink. Lace and frills bedeck both the cupped standards and wide spreading falls. The heavy beard is bright tangerine. 34 inches. HM AIS, 1959. JANE PHILLIPS (Graves, '50) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 A light blue that is deeper in color than Helen McGregor, of which it is a seedling, 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 48. JEAN SIBELIUS (C. Benson, '59) Each $8.00 One of the handsomest of all the blues and about as near perfection as any Iris can be. Clear and crisp steel blue, noble in carriage and of giant size. 38-inch well branched stalks. HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1962. JET FIRE (Tompkins, '64) Each $20.00 A stunning and shockingly brilliant red plicata: snowy white falls heavily bordered solid bright red; tall, pointed standards of solid red, but white on the inside. White style arms tipped red and a rich orange-bronze beard complete this truly unusual flower. 42 inches.
