Grocie Pfost $2.00 SON OF SATAN (Wickersham, '62) Each $2.00 A large blackish-maroon self, with a sooty overlay and bronzy brown beard in harmony. The falls are especially wide at the haft and are semi-flaring. This is a vigorous grower, producing many well-branched 3-foot stems to the clump. 'My Iris order arrived today in perfect condition. I thank you for the beautiful specimens, and especially for the delightful extra." E.M.C., California 'The rhizomes arrived today—oh thank you. And imagine my surprise to find an extra—and what an extra! Thank you!" J.G.. Ohio SOUTHERN COMFORT (Hinkie, '65) M. 36" Each $3.00 A rich, creamy beauty with an intensification of deeper yellow on the hafts and in the heart. Beard is matching yellow. Extra wide standards and falls are pleated and ruffled. One of the finest of all recent novelties. HM AIS, 1966; AM, 1970. See page 32. SPANISH GIFT (Shoop, '65) EM. 35" Each $5.00 Warm, glowing, bright orange self; the beard is still deeper orange- red on a creamy central ground. Here is a fine follow up on the heels of the variety Spanish Affair; more brilliant and much superior. See page 6. SPARKLING CHAMPAGNE (Ernst, '65) M. 36" Each $2.50 Although this would be classed as a plicata it really carries but a minimum of dots or etchings, mostly near the center and on the ' hafts. The color inclines to a chartreuse or champagne shade. Verv large, slightly spreading, with extra broad falls and superb branching. ^ HM AIS, 1966. Shown on page 39. ^ SPLASH O' PINK (Hall, '64) EM. 36" Each $2.00 Beautifully formed and broad petaled, with a brilliant, near geranium red beard. The shade of pink is bright, clean and just what we like to look for in an Iris of this popular hue. There is an amber glow in the central area. This one has large size to go with its other qual- ities which include especially fine branching. Flowers are ruffled and very long lasting. HM AIS, 1967. Shown on page 39. SPRING FESTIVAL (Hall, '58) M. 36" Each $1.00 Not a deep shade of pink but is rather a definite appleblossom tint with heavy geranium-red beards. The flowers are very large, faultlessly formed and slightly ruffled. Stems are tall with the blooms widely spaced. Plant growth is robust and it increases rapidly. HM AIS, 1958. 45
