INDIGLOW (Schortman, '59) Each $5.00 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. LADY ILSE (K. Smith, '51) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 The brilliant blue of the sky brought down and into the garden in a flower of exquisite charm and alluring form. Perfection of style and great width of petals point up this Iris. 38 inches. HM AIS, 19.52; AM, 1955. See page 39. IN ORBIT (Gibson, '63) Each $6.00 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 hght 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. IRENE BROWN (R. Brown, '60) Each $4.00 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 brightness. 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 tlie ruffled 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 53. IVORY GOWN (E. Smith, '63) Each $12.50 Lovely ivory-cream, almost white, from Celestial Snow and Idaho Gold.

JAN ELIZABETH (Muhlestein, '59) Each $2.00 Luscious blending of Flamingo pink, peach and pale orchid-pink. Lace and frills bedeck both the cupped standards and wide spread- ing falls. The heavy beard is bright tangerine. 34 inches. HM AIS, 1959. JANE PHILLIPS (Graves, '50) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 A hght blue that is deeper in color than Helen McGregor, of which it is a seedhng, 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 50. JEAN SIBELIUS fC. Benson, '59) Each $3.50 One of the handsomest of all the blues and about as near perfection as any Iris can be.

JET FIRE (Tompkins, '64) Each $12.50 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. HM AIS, 1965. JUDY MARSONETTE (Hall, '62) Each $3.00 Here is tlie deepest pink Iris we have thus far introduced! In addi- tion to its luscious and smoothy uniform color the large blossoms are of tailored perfection in form, the falls semi-flaring and of thick texture. Beard is brilliant red-orange. Stems are stout, well branched, 34 inches tall. HM AIS, 1964. JUNE MEREDITH (Muhlestein, '54) Each $1.50 A complete self of rich, deep pink.

JUNGLE FIRES (Schreiner, '60) Each $2.00 A smooth, evenly colored new red self, with jaunty, flaring foiTn and silken sheen. A "coals-of-fire" shade of red, rather than the red effect derived from the purple or garnet side of the color spectrum. Bronze yellow beard. Free blooming, large size, height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1960; AM, 1964. Shown on page 41. KAHILI (Schreiner, '61) Each $3.00 A big bright, contrasty variegata. Falls are deep, velvety maroon- brown; the standards are luminous pale gold deepening toward the edges. Style arms are stained with crimson and the beard is rich yellow. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1962. KARACHI (Schreiner, '58) Each $2.00 Newest, deep burgundv, wine-on-white plicata, darker and redder than Port Wine or Bazaar. In fact it is more red tlian anything else; the onlv white appears as a patch in the center of the fafls. Large, perfectly formed, on 3-foot stems. HM AIS, 1958. See page 59. LA NEGRA FLOR (Crosby, '57) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 The name means "Black Flower" in Spanish.

LA ROSITA (Hall, '60) Each $2.00 A large, broad petaled, soft uniform rose self. Area below tlie beard is paler, alinost white, in center.

HM AIS, 1961.
