AMETHYST FLAME GLISTENING SNOW (Schreiner, '63) Each $10.00 A ven- full-bodied flower with magnificent petal breadth and serene flaring form, nicely ruffled. As white as Celestial Snow and with the classic appearance of ClifTs of Dover. 38 inches. GOLDEN BLAZE (Mitsch, '56) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 Derived from Inca Chief, a more golden and less brown affair, and with much more life. Very large in size, with heavy texture, produc- ing a mass of bloom. A clump in bloom is a real eye catcher! 34 inches. GOLDEN DELIGHT (E. Smith, '60) Each $7.50 Surely one of the most outstanding yellows we have seen — large, glittering deep golden yellow, lacy and ruffled in both standards and falls. Even the style arms are fringed. This is from pink breeding. 38 inches. GOLDEN GARLAND (Hall, '57) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 A veritable giant of a flower, on stalks fully four feet in height, blooming very late in the season. Our picture is too light in tone; the actual flower has definite golden yellow standards and almost white falls bordered yellow. The lacework and crimped petals on both standards and falls are exceptional. Here is a real traffic stopper! HM AIS, 1957; AM, 1959. Illustrated on page 10. GOLDEN SPICE (Muhlestein, '60) Each $3.50 Deep yellow plicata, the standards solid golden yellow and the falls the same shade marked with reddish ginger-brown. A more golden Mv Honevcomb and one of the finest vellow ground plicatas we have seen. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1961. GOLDEN SUNSHINE (Schreiner, '52) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Xot deep golden, not lemon, but a clean, clear bright yellow of an intennediate tone. This is a big flower with wide petals and lovely forni—"soft as sunshine on a spring dav!" 38 inches. HM AIS, 1954: AM, 1956. GOLDEN TAN (Craig, '54) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 "Giant among Giants", a lively tan self which is seldom seen but will certainly thrill any Iris grower. Huge bloom and stalk reaching to 40 inches. GOLDEN YEARS fHa//,'6?; Each $5.00 A combination of lacy white fringed with gold. Given the name of "Golden Years" in fond recognition of the era into which Mr. Hall s lone; association with Iris is now fitted. Illustrated on page 30. HM AIS, 1962. GOLD PIECE (Schreiner, '59) Each $3.50 Solid golden yellow with conical ruffled standards and very spread- ing falls, poised as if in full flight. The leathery texture is derived from Inca Chief, a parent. The brilliant Golden Sunshine is also in its breeding. 33 inches: midseason. HM AIS, 1959. "My Iris order arrived to-day and I simply must tell you I have never received such well-packaged plants or finer, healthier, large-sized rhizomes in my 25 years of gardening. You may be sure that anyone else I know, who also loves Iris, will hear from me nothing but praise about you and the quality of your Iris." Mrs. J. T. Tolbert Wenatchee, Wash. GRACIE PFOST (E. Smith, '61) Each $10.00 A new blend in shades of henna-brown and copper-rose, simply colos- sal in size and up to 40 inches in height of stem. Colors are bright and the flowers are ideally formed, with the texture of satin. It is one of the ver>' topnotch brand new things in this catalog. HM AIS, 1962. Shown on page 41. GRAND COULEE (Plough, '58) Each $3.00 A very large and beautifully fringed and ruffled yellowish tan with rose blendings. The beard is contrasting bright yellow. Wide, domed standards, and falls of great width, the stalks well branched and about 34 inches. HM AIS, 1959. GOLDEN CROWN (Kleinsorge, '54) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 .An absolutely stunning combination of old gold and richest plush- like brownish maroon velvet. It is a seedling of Spanish Fandango. 36 inches tall. HM .AIS, 1957. See page 47. GRAND TETON (Deforest, '56) Each $2.00 One of the largest of all Iris, with 8-inch flowers on 40-inch stalks. Wax-yellow standards, the falls slightly deeper and heavily ruffled. Hafts are broad and the style arms are crinkled like an oncobred. HM AIS, 1957. See page 44. (26)
