APRIL MELODY ETCHED APRICOT New Iris Ihr 1967 APRIL MELODY (G)h%on, '67) Each $20.00 This is a pretty close approach to being a pink plicata . . . the ground color light, almost white, pinkish lavender and the markings a bright and intense shade of lavender- rose. In 1965 this was awarded the cup for best seedling at the regional A.I.S. meeting. As noted in the picture, the flowers are a bit lacy and especially well proportioned. Large and long lasting. 34-30 inches. No. 37-IPF. BACCARAT (Gather, '67) Each $20.00 A carnival .of color, blended graduations of brown, amber and light ))urple . . . like changeable silk ... in the heavily ruffled standards, and etxremely broad, flat, flaring falls of bright violet banded golden brown. Hafts are solid light brown and the beard is bright orange. Re- mindful of some pagan ceremonial dance! Large blos- soms; 36-inch, well branched, heavy stems. No. 63-260. CAPE TOWN CGai;//er, '67) Each $20.00 This subtle interfusion of delicate beige and rose-lilac results from a cross of Claudia Rene and Glittering Amber, as does the new Baccarat. However, there is no color similarity in the two. The first is flamboyant and lively; this one is less exciting, more tranquil, but equally beautiful and appealing. Standards and falls are about the same shade of mauve, but the contrasting brown-purple hafts provide a sharp contrast. Beard is deep orange. Very wide falls and abundant ruffling enhance its all 'round high quality. Huge in si/e; 38 inches in height. No. 63-145. ETCHED APRICOT (G\h%on, '67) Each $20.00 Warm golden apricot color, the standards without mark- ings and the falls creamy ivory in the center with fine etchings of apricot. None of the many other Gibson pli- catas match this most attractive hue and the flower itself is absolute perfection in form. Extra large, 3-inch petal width and ideal rulfling and fluting are added features. Height about 30 inches. No. 51-OPF. HIGH SIERRA (GQii\\er, '67) Each $25.00 We have seen a host of white Iris in our time and there are many truly magnificent ones listed in this catalog. This one, however, is so huge, so flawless and so immacu- late that after flowering it the past two seasons we think it superior to any white we know. A com))lete self, medium late. 38-inch stems. No. 6.3-259, HC AIS, 1966. AFTER ALL fDave Ha//, '67) Each $20.00 The heavily fringed and flounced petals of this deep, ivory- cream Iris suggests some of the intricate lace-like work ot Oriental artisans. Even the style-arms exhibit this "fancy work" pattern. Very large, with flaring falls and thick substance. 30 inches. The name has been chosen because this is a fitting finale to the long line of Iris of merit from Mr. Hall. No. 63-06. Illustrated on the right.
