FULL DRESS (O. Brown, '60) Each $10.00 Heavily laced bright yellow with saffron yellow beard. The flowers have domed standards and graceful, semi- flaring falls. Tall, strong stalks with fine branching. HM AIS, 1960. FULL REWARD (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 Another seedling of Solid Gold and one of the largest 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 blossoms. 3 feet or over. HM AIS, 1956. Color picture on page 21. FULL VOLTAGE (Tompkins, '60) Each $10.00 Standards are brilliant dandelion gold, broad and domed. Falls are like rich white velvet with a half-inch border of precise stitching, the same bright yellow of the standards. 38-inch stems, well branched. HM AIS, 1961. FUSILIER (Tompkins, '58) Each $2.00 A brand new orange-yellow self, including the beard, near to chrome-orange by the color chart. This was outstanding in the Fleur-de-Lis gardens last season and we are glad to offer it is as one of the best and newest of all yellows. Large, heavily ruffled, velvety textured. 38 inches HM AIS, 1961. GALILEE (Fay, '56) Each $2.50 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 Butterflv Blue—but this tops them all! HM AIS, 1956; AM, 1958. See page 18. GARDEN GOLD (Hall, '56) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Solid, deep chrome-yellow throughout, except for the fiery orange-red beard. While the beard is not actually red it is so deep an orange tone as to appear almost red and certainly sets this Iris apart from all other yellows. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1957. See page 59. GAYLORD (Douglas, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 With pure white standards and velvety red-purple falls bordered white, we have a vast improvement on the famous and long popular Wabash. Gaylord is more than twice as large as its predecessor and will soon displace it. 38 inches; late. HM AIS, 1949. See page 61. GEORGIE ERNST (Hall, '62) Each $10.00 Fluffy pale pinkish lilac, or might be described as an orchid shade with a faint hint of blue in its make-up. Standards and falls are identical in color, the hafts lighter in tone and a tangerine beard literally sets the center on fire. The flowers are very large and beauti- fully formed, the stems well branched ... as bubblv and frothy as an evening gown beset with jewels in the form of the brilliant beards! Height 34 inches. GIANT ROSE (Schreiner, '59) Each $5.00 Possibly the largest Iris ever introduced, the blooms actually measuring 11 inches, from top to bottom! Color is a pleasing shade of lilac-rose with yellow glow at the heart. Beard is bright yellow. The inch-thick stems reach 40 inches. Patent No. 2067. HM AIS, 1961.
