SYLVIA MURRAY (Norton, '44) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 Derived from Great Lakes crossed with Shining Waters, lighter in color than either of the parents and with the silvery smooth- ness of pale blue silk. Enormous flowers. 40-inch stems, altogether a grand blue Iris. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1949. SYMPHONY (Hinkle, '58) Each $15.00 Gracefully ruffled sea-blue self, slightly lighter in the center of the falls and with some darker texture veining. Petals are wide and full, crisp and firm in substance. Midseason; 38 inches. HM AIS, 1958. TABU (Schreiner, '54) Each $1.50 An ebony-blue-black self; even the beard is virtually black. Petals are glossy and shine in the sun. A larger, taller and much better formed Black Forest. Height 38 inches. HM AIS, 1954. TAHOLAH (Gibson, '56) Each $7.50 The picture on page 52 will convey a much more complete and accurate description of this new plicata than simple words can tell. We had this big ruffled novelty on trial in our display garden for two seasons before deciding to introduce it. The ground color is creamy ivory, the standards heavily shaded cinnamon-red and the falls are evenly brushed with this same russet-red tint on the haft and at the outer edges. Long lasting, very large, on stout 3-foot stems. The Indian name means "Village bv the Sea." HM AIS, 1956; AM, 1958. TALLCHIEF (Deforest, '56) Each $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 14. 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 large flower. HM AIS, 1950. See page 41. TEMPLE BELLS (Hall, '52) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 Larger and more metallic colored Hi-Time—a sort of apricot-yellow with no peachy undertone. The blooms are extra large, the falls flaring way out and then drooping gracefullv with a slight ruffle. Note the heavy red-orange beard. A seedling of Dolly Varden, considered by Hr. Hall as his finest golden apricot self, 36 inches, well branched. HM AIS, 1952. See page 12. SHEIK OF ARABY SWAN BALLET (Muhlestein, '55) Each $7.50 Very wide and ruffled pure white, the falls flaring and lightly crinkled at the edges. Beard is pale yellow tipped white. Height up to 40 inches. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1957; Dykes Medal, 1959. See page 38. SWEETHEART (Hall, '59) Each $10.00 A very large "baby-ribbon"-pink self even to the beard. Flower is full with very wide hafts and the petal texture is like satin. The pink beard lends an unusual touch which accents the purity and softness of the deli- cate color. This has been widely used by Mr. Hall in his breeding program. 30 inches. ^^^^ SWEET REFRAIN (Hall, '56) Each $5.00 Here we have an addition to the popular and e\cr-incn'asinj> lis! of new pinks. Not only does it have more depth id im >> aU.. ( ,... . <m,:h oi petals and width Having falls. We think Sweet Refrain is destined to be one of the most admired of all the pinks. Height 3 feet, well branched and above average in size. HM AIS, 1956. See page 20. (54)
