COOL COMFORT (Tompkins, '58) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 A lovely new citron-yellow Iris of large size and delightful form. The broad, heavily substanced petals have a sleek sparkling finish and a hint of lace. This is a self, including the beard, but there is a small, snow-white, green flushed blaze at its tip. A luscious and refreshing flower, certain to please. Rather late, 36 inches tall. HM AIS, 1961. See page 13. DAWN CREST (DeForest, '60) Each $12.00 Big hit of the 1960 AIS Convention in Oregon and considered by the late Fred DeForest as one of his all time finest productions. Standards are bright orange-pink, three inches wide, and ruffled. Falls, yellowish ivory, measure a good three inches at the haft and are flaring. Up to nine flowers per 3-foot well branched stem. HM AIS, 1960; AM 1962. See page 9. COPPER HALO (Gibson, '58) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 Here we have a new plicata from the originator of the popular Taholah. Illustrated on page 15, it is a creamy white or ivory ground in both standards and falls, heavily peppered and stitched with rosy topper. Broad petals, graceful ruffling and thick texture mark this strain and set a new standard for plicata types. Copper Halo is a live- ly color pattern which blends well in almost any garden scheme. Very late. 34-36 inches in height. HM AIS, 1958. COUNTRYSIDE (DeForest, '59) Each $3.50 An eye-popper for size, in lovely chartreuse-yellow. There is a faint plicata dusting of lavender across the wide hafts. Tall, vigorous and excellent in every way. HM AIS, 1962. Very late. DEEP BLACK (Cook, '55) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 This is the blackest and the "slickest" deep hued Iris we have seen. In the garden of the originator, where thousands of so-called black seedlings have come into being, this was our choice. Height 34-36 inches. HM AIS, 1955; A.M. 1957. Shown on page 60. DEEP SPACE (Tompkins, '61) Each $10.00 Richest indigo blue, a gigantic flower, broad petaled and smooth in the extreme. There are no veinings or haft marks. Beard is heavy and rich indigo in color. 40-inch stems and heavy foliage. A real stand-out! HM AIS, 1962. COURT BALLET (Moldovan, '60) Each $12.50 Here is a new and exquisitely ruffled big pink self of extra heavy porcelain-like finish. Refined and lovely even though it ranks among the largest in this color class. Beard is deep red-orange. Heavy 36- inch stems. HM AIS, 1961; AM, 1963. CREAM CREST (Muhlestein, '59) Each $5.00 A very wide cream self of smoothest texture, hafts lightly ruffled and evenly brushed very clean lemon yellow. Large and tall: one of the best in a color which goes well with all others. HM AIS. 1959: AM, 1961. CRINKLED BEAUTY (Schreiner, '61) Each $17.50 A fine example of the progress in breeding for lace—possibly I he- top production in this line. The large flowers, a delicate orchid pink in color, have wide petals and extra heavy substance. Height 38 inches. HM AIS, 1962. CRINKLED IVORY (Schreiner, '58) Each $3.50 Sparkling ivory-cream, simply huge in size, with crepy petals and lacy ruffling. A cool lemon flush at the heart and the pale yellow beard add to its translucent charm. 34 inches. HM AIS, 1959. See page 12. CRINKLED SUNSET (Plough, '57) Each $2.50 Heavily laced and shirred, in a blend of sunset hues. The standards are light violet and buff while the falls are violet, pink and buff. Very colorful and unusual. HM AIS, 1958. CRISPETTE (Schreiner, '54) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 A fluted and waved new deep orchid-pink with rich orange beard and suffusion of brown on the hafts. Of ideal form and garden habit, the coloring having the extra quality of "carrying power" in the garden. 34 inches. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1957. See page 56. DANCING TIGER (Schreiner, '53) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 Here is a very large jewel-bright, really yellow ground plicata. The half-inch border of penny-brown is deftly cut, as if shot with fine slender lines on the edge of the falls. Gay and brilliant. 38 inches. Shown on page 59. DARK FURY (Luihn, '62) Each $15.00 Sultry blue-black self with self beard. Great width and ruffling, coupled with flaring falls and closed standards, set Dark Fury apart in its color class. For quality it has no peer. It is a vigorous grower with fine foliage and low, widely branched 36 inch stalks. Awarded an HC in 1960, and the Gold Cup for the best seedling and an Exhi- bition Certificate at San Jose show in 1961. HM AIS, 1963. See page 5. DARK SPLENDOR (Fay, '61) Each $10.00 A fit companion to this introducer's Black Swan but approaching black from the blue side. The beard is midnight blue. The large flowers have excellent form, with closed standards and silky finish. Stout 29-inch stems, well branched. HM AIS, 1962. DAVE'S ORCHID (Hall, '60) Each $4.00 A very large Iris and one which will arouse enthusiasm in those looking for something distinctly different. The color is orchid-rose with bluish overlay on the falls. Hafts are marked with amber, running quite far down on the falls and the lacy edges are trimmed with a narrow band of this amber-copper tint. Base of standards and style-arms are flushed amber. Beard is bright tangerine. A fine grower. 36 inches and over in height. Shown on page 37. HM AIS, 1961. (17) BEECHLEAF
