NEW SNOW (Fay, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 A white Iris which is neither a warm nor a cold white but is as white as new snow. The beard is full and light yellow, adding a great deal of life. This is the only color in the flower, as there are no haft vein- ings or markings. Stalk is sturdy and well branched, 40 inches tall, the big flowers very much ruffled and flaring. One of the world's best white Iris. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1948. NOMOHR (Gibson, '55) Each $1.50 An odd shade of wax-yellow, described as "bamboo-cream." This is from a cross of Snow Flurry and Elmohr and the very large flowers show their onco parentage. The substance is very thick and heavy, the large blooms beautifully formed. HM AIS, 1956. 40 inches in height. See page 15. NORTHBROOK (Fay, '55) Each $6.00 Near robin's-egg blue—a light blue with a trace of green in the blue color. The white beard gives it an especially fresh, clean look. Crisp substance, ruffled and flaring, the large flowers are well spaced on stems over three feet tall. HM AIS, 1959. FABULOUS OLYMPIC TORCH MY HONEYCOMB (Gibson, '59) Each $3.00 A molasses and honey blended plicata of great size and excellent branching, embracing the quality of Taholah, one of its parents, in a taller and flashing combination of colors. The illustration on page 18 shows what to expect ... a giant Firecracker, deeper, richer and with twice the stem of this fine old favorite. Height 36-38 inches. HM AIS, 1960. NATIVE DANCER (Fay, '54) Ea. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Peach-pink, the beard bright tangerine. Notable for the great quantity of flowers borne on each stem, often up to twelve blooms on the main stem. Wide hafts and semi- flaring falls, the standards closed. 38 inches in height. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1957. "/ want to thank you for sending my order so quick- ly. And what a pleasure to find the "extras" in the shipment. And such spectacular ones. Only a real flower lover would know my feelings." Mrs. R. L. Middlelon Whittier, Calif.
