TALLCHIEF (Deforest, '56) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 Bright, richly glowing red self, with brilliant orange beard. By the Ridgeway color chart it is Brazil-red to carmine. A real advance in red Iris, tall, and very well branched. HM AIS, 1957. See page 23. TALLY-HO (Hall, '49) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 The upper part of the falls is close to the deep coloring seen in bright fuchsia colored Orchids. The domed standards and lower part of the falls are lighter. This is something new, pleasing and different! The 32-inch stems are stout but a little closely branched for such a large flower. HM AIS, 1957. See page 42. TECHNY CHIMES (Bro. Charles, '55) Each $2.00 A gorgeous light yellow with very deep red-orange beard. From similar breeding as the new Garden Gold, but a different shade of yellow and very unlike it in form. This is certainly a striking Iris and the branching is a special feature. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1957; tied for Dykes Medal in 1960. 36 inches. See page 13. TEMPLE BELLS (Hall, '52) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 A sort of apricot-yellow with no peachy undertone. The blooms are extra large, the falls flaring way out and drooping gracefully with a slight ruffle. Heavy red-orange beard. 36 inches, well branched. HM AIS, 1952. THOTMES III (Kleinsorge, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Years ago we introduced Tobacco Road. Since then the Kleinsorge "browns" have become known and grown the world over. This one is medium light in tone, a smooth self of glistening golden tan with a light bronze beard. It is a gigantic Iris with extra broad falls and heavy texture. 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1951; AM, 1953. TOAST AN' HONEY (Kleinsorge, '58) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 An altogether different tan and brown Iris. A full and generously proportioned flower, with wide segments, the falls flaring and waved at the edges. General color is rich light golden brown, like butter and honey, and the falls are shaded deeper toast-brown, especially on the edges and near the hafts. It is of stocky build, well branched, with very large blooms produced on 36-inch stems. HM AIS, 1955. TOLL GATE (Cook, '59) Each $4.00 From the same line of breeding as Whole Cloth. Standards are palest blue—almost white—the falls dark violet with a long yellow beard extending across the lighter haft. Very tall, with many flowers per stem; widely spaced, it should be very valuable to hybridizers. HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1962. Well illustrated on page 43. TOMECO (Suiter, '60) Each $6.00 Smoothly burnished oxblood red self without haft markings. Tailored in appearance, the big rounded standards domed and closed and the broad falls semiflaring. Bronze yellow beard. Well branched and sun resistant. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1962. See page 18. "Iris order arrived today in EXCELLENT condition. In fact, I can't recall ever having received plant material in such good condition." C. A. Huhne Poughkeepsie, N. Y. TOP DOLLAR (Jompkms, '61) Each $15.00 A truly exciting new yellow. Huge flowers with extremely broad petals, perfectly domed standards and flaring falls. Extra heavy substance and a sleek glistening unmarked finish. Midseason. 40 inches. HM AIS, 1964. TOP FAVORITE (Schreiner, '57) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 Colossal orchid-pink. The beard is white and there is a soft overlay of amber-buff at the center of the flowers. Color is clear and bright and the blossoms are ideally formed, flaring and ruflfled at the outer edges. It is tall, strong and branched to perfection. HM AIS, 1957. TOP FLIGHT rHa//,'53; Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 A more deeply colored Temple Bells, more apricot than yellow. Standards and falls are practically the same shade but the beard is fiery orange-red and very thick and heavy. Height 34 inches. HM AIS, 1953; AM, 1955. TRANQUILITY (Fay, '54) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 This very large milk-white flower is carried on perfectly branched, strong stems 38 inches tall. The haft is wide and clean and the beard is white. Some judges regard it as the best of all whites. HM AIS, 1950; AM 1953.

BEECHLEAF TRANQUIL MOON (Cook, '48) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 A most novel thing with light yellow to deep cream standards and silvery white falls bordered the yellow of the standards. Hafts like- wise shaded yellow. The falls of this Iris are extra wide and flare out almost flat. Large, thick petaled and sparkling. 36-inches tall. HM AIS, 1950. See page 58. TRIM (McKee, '56) Each $2.50 A wonderful new red with an underlay of bronze. The blooms are large and broad in all their parts, the stalks husky and well branched. Very late; 40 inches. Plant Pat. No. 1592. HM, 1956. TRULY YOURS (Fay, '49) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 The heart of this spectacular creation is bright yellow, shading off to almost white at the top of the standards and the bottom of the falls. The entire flower is rufiled and edged in lace. Unopened buds are yellow, because the under sides of the falls are yellow although faced white on top. Gigantic in size, 38 inches tall; very late. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951; Dykes Medal, 1953. Shown on page 54. (57)
