SON OF SATAN ORANGE BANNER (Waiers, '55) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Handsome and brilliant orange-yellow of very large size: it is, in fact, one of the largest of all. The heavy beard is slightly deeper in shade than the rest of the flower. Petals are broad and well formed. 34 inches. HM AIS, 1955. ORANGE PARADE (Hamblin, '61) Each $15.00 A vivid and moderately laced and ruffled orange bi-tone, between Marigold and Spanish orange. A startling and rich orange effect. Wide, flaring falls and closed standards. Fairly earlv. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1962: AM, 1964. ORELIO (DeForesf, '47) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 Deep crimson-brown, more red than brown. Obtained from Casa Morena crossed with Garden Flame, which will convey some idea as to the color of this rich Iris. It is large, tall and well branched. HM AIS, 1948. Shown on page 53. PALOMINO (Hall, '52) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Related to the pinks but the only suggestion of pink is in the stand- ards. The falls are pale ivor)- with an amber-copper shoulder and thin band all the way around. Beard is like a bonfire. For size, form, substance, branching and trulv mai-velous color this is indeed supreme. Height 3 ft. HM AIS, 1952: AM, 1954. PARTY PINK (Crosby, '59) Each $2.50 Here is another variation in the constantly growing assemblage of what was—not too many years ago—a lean and seemingly overlooked color class. Without the yellow-salmon influence of most kinds this one inclines to the orchid side and the prominent beard is in harmony but of deeper tone. 38-40 inches tall, large and loaded with flowers.

ROSE FLAME WENATCHEE KID PATHFINDER (Whiting, '48) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 A big, broad petaled, pearly rose-pink with very heavy substance. Actually a blend, rather than a pink, with some coppery suffusion about the haft and style arms. The beard is yellow. Height 36 inches. HM AIS, 1948. See page 51. "Received my Iris order in perfect condition. This was my first order from your gardens and I was de- lighted with the strong, healthy and vigorous rhiz- omes." Mrs. William Petra Toledo, Iowa PATIENCE rSc/iorfman, '55) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 A rare shade of rich magenta or light red-violet, standards and falls unifomi in color, the beard cream tipped yellow. Wide petaled and very large in size, the branching ideal and the hcavv stems reach- ing 40 inches. HM AIS, 1956; AM, 1958. One of the "Five Iris of the Year" for 1963. (38)
