SPRING FESTIVAL NORTHWESTERN (Cook, '51) Each $1.50 Pure royal purple self, including the haft and beard. Flowers are large, domed, and the wide falls flare gracefully. Many judges regard this as the best genuine purple Iris in commerce today. It is a husky grower and a rapid increaser. Many blooms and wide branching. HM .'MS, 1951; .•\M, 1953. NUEVO LAREDO (Kleinsorge, '56) Each $5.00 This distinct Iris is an odd shade of coppery tan with suffusions of violet and brown. It is very large in size, the petals waved and curled in the manner of Cascade Splendor, to which it is related. The growth is vigorous, with tall stems and ideal branching. The picture on page 20 is a very good likeness. Named for the colorful Mexican town on the Rio Grande. Height 31/2 to 4 feet. r44i OH BOY! (Grinter, '59) Eoch $5.00 Waxy chrome-yellow, a complete self, very large in size and of extra heavy petal texture. This was sent to us for trial along with Blue Grotto and they make a pair of excellent companions. Heavy stems and foliage. 3 feet tall. OLA KALA (J. Sass, '43) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 Just now we have an abundance of fine deep yellow Irises, but here is one that perhaps outdoes all the others for depth of color and in addition it is heavily ruffled. Medium large flowers on nicely branched, 36-inch stalks. So yellow it is almost on the orange side. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1945; Dykes Medal, 1948. See page 40. OLYMPIC TORCH (Schreiner, '58) Each $15.00 This grand coppery yellow-bronze is our choice of all the Schreiner introductions. It has great size, moderate ruffling, lovely even coloring, and perfect height and branching. 40 inches; late. HM AIS, 1958. ORANGE BANNER (Waters, '55) Each $7.50 Handsome and brilliant orange-yellow of very large size; it is, in fact, one of the largest of all. The heavy beard is slightly deeper in shade than the rest of the flower. Petals are broad and well formed. 34 inches. HM AIS, 1955. ORELIO (DeForest, '47) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Deep crimson-brown, more red than brown. Obtain- ed from Casa Morena crossed with Garden Flame, which will convey some idea as to the color of this rich Iris. It is large, tall and well branched. HM AIS, 1948. Shown on page 31. ORIENTAL GLORY (Salbach, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Stunning rich red blend, with mahogany standards and falls mahogany-brown shading to gold at the haft. The entire center of each fall carries a very brilliant blue blaze. Different and well named. HM AIS, 1952. Shown on page 40. PACEMAKER (Lapham, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 One of the best red Iris of all. The color is uniform in standards and falls without veins on the haft; a wann red tone, on the orange rather than the pur- ple or wine side. The rich beard is bronzy gold. 36 inches in height. HM AIS, 1950. PAGAN PRINCESS (Douglas, '48) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Deep pink to rose to velvety fuchsia-red, with tan- gerine-red beard. The rounded falls are bordered pink, like the standards. Tall, slender stems but the flowers are of great size. A good contrast with the "flainingo-pinks." ^ PALE PRIMROSE (Whifing, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 A late, cool primrose-yellow with a touch of wax-yellow at the haft. Of an attractive and useful color, the foiTn of this Iris is its great distinctive feature. It is oval with standards closed and swirled at the top; the falls are long but so wide they nearly touch each other, the effect is of a huge yellow rosebud. Very late, high branched and tall—most effective in back of a planting. HM AIS, 1950. See page 29. PALOMINO (Hall, '52) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 Related to the pinks—it is a seedling of Hi-Time— the only suggusion of pink is in the standards. The falls are pale ivory with an amber-copper shoulder and thin band all the way around. Beard is like a bonfire, rich, redder and more dominant than the illustration on the back cover, although this is really a very excellent portrayal of this variety. For size, form, substance, branching and truly marvelous color this is indeed supreme. Height 3 ft. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954.
