BALLERINA FULL REWARD (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $3.50 Another seedling of Solid Gold and one of the larg- est and most deeply toned yellows we have ever seen. The falls are exceptionally wide right up to the point where they meet the fully domed standards. Extra good branching and an abundance of blos- soms. 3 feet or over. HM AIS, 1956. Color picture on page 54. FUSILIER (Tompkins, '58) Each $10.00 A brand new orange-yellow self, including the beard, near to chome-orange by the color chart. This was outstanding in the Fleur-de-Lis gardens last season and we are glad to offer it as one of the best and newest of all yellows. Large, heavily ruffled, velvety textured. 38 inches. GALA FINALE (Deforest, '50) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 Strong, deep yellow, heavily overlaid Indian red and appears from a distance to be red. A fancy and very colorful plicata with great garden value. 36 inches tall. GALILEE (Fay, '56) Each $15.00 Giant medium blue self with a white beard. The color holds in sun or rain and is decidedly blue for an Iris. Mr. Fay has produced some excellent things in blue—such as Bluebird Blue and Butterfly Blue- but this tops them all! HM AIS, 1956; AM, 1958. GARDEN GLORY (Whiting, '43) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 A pure self of rich Bordeaux-red; a seedling from Red Douglas crossed with Garden Magic. This is one of the nearest to true red of any Iris ever flow- ered in our gardens; pure, deep and rich, with no haft venation whatsoever. Smoothly finished with deep bronze-gold beard. Height 33 inches. HM AIS, 1945; AM, 1947. GARDEN GOLD (Hall, '56) Each $3.50 Solid, deep chrome-yellow throughout, except for the fiery orange-red beard. While the beard is not actual- ly red it is so deep an orange tone as to appear al- most red and certainly sets this Iris apart from all other yellows. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1957. GAY BORDER (DeForest, '49) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 If you like plicatas and are looking for a new and distinct effect in this line we think you will be pleasantly surprised by this one. The impression is that of a clean white flower bordered and stitched with red. The wide falls have a touch of gold at the haft. Large, tall and well branched. HM AIS, 1949. See page 28. GAY HEAD (Knowlton, '54) Each $3.50 A true variegata with genuine personality. The standards are clear bright yellow and nicely ruffled; the falls deep maroon with a solid border of clean yellow extending right up to the center of the flow- er. There are no haft marks. HM AIS, 1954. Bred by Harold Knowlton, recent President of the Amer- can Iris Society. FRONT PAGE (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $3.50 One of the superb seedlings of Solid Gold, seen and exclaimed over in the Kleinsorge garden since they flowered for the first time. The ground color is deep red-gold, lightening to almost white on the central area of the falls. This is close to the color pattern of Prospector but the flower is almost twice that size and over three feet tall. Picture on page 12 is close to the real thing. HM .AIS. 1956. FROST and FLAME (Hall, '57) Each $10.00 Mr. Hall has worked for several years in an effort to bring out a faultless white with the tangerine beard so closely associated with the flamingo-pinks. And here we have it! The flowers are large, the stiff stems reach four feet, and the thick petals are as clean and white as a sheet. Every judge who has seen this has been enthusiastic about it. HM AIS, 1957: AM, 1959. Illustrated on page 52. GAYLORD (Douglas, '50) Each $2.00 With pure white standards and velvety red-purple falls bordered white, we have here a vast improve- ment on the famous and long popular Wabash. Gay- lord is more than twice as large as its predecessor and will soon displace it. 38 inches; late. HM AIS, 1949. GLITTERING GOLD (Murray, '55) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 Huge golden orange self, one of the very largest and most imposing Iris we have ever seen, anywhere! We purchased the stock in 1952 and intended to intro- duce it the following year, but, while a grand grow- er in the South, it is slightly tender in cold or wet sections. If you live in the South or an arid section, where it will succeed, you will swear that it should rate a Dvkes Medal! HC AIS, 1954. (36)
