DAWN CREST "Until receiving my recent order front you, I had (il)out decided to •live itp on mail orders, hut after looking at the splendid specimens i/ou sent, my faith has heen revived, ni least as far as your compatiy is concerned. My co)igra1ulations on your insistence upon (piality and reliahility." Norman C. Veale Dothan, Ala. ANNETTE (Hall, '55) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 A tawnv deep rose with widely flaring, almost flat falls. The entire flower carries a coppen,- cast but the center is all aglow with the brilliant red beards. Quite different from other Hall things. 34 inches tall. HM AIS, 1956. See page 20. ANTHEM (Schreiner, '58) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 The richness of the fuchsia-purple tone is intensified bv a gener- ous margin of bronze around the huge falls, ^^etallic plum might well describe the general color effect of this new giant. Beard is lemon. 40 inches, fairly early. HM AIS, 1960. APPLE VALLEY (DeForest, '58) Each $1.50 Almost white, flushed pink, with deeper pink cast about the hafts. The pink-tinted beard intensifies the pinkish glow of an otherwise almost white, very beautiful and different flower. Very large, with broad petals and taU stalks. HM AIS, 1960. See page 59. APRIL MELODY (Gibson, '67) Each $12.00 This is a prett\' close approach to being a pink pHcata . . . the ground color light, almost white, pinkish lavender and the mark- ings a bright and intense shade of lavender-rose. In 1965 this was awarded the cup for best seedhng 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. 34-36-inches. HM AIS, 1968. See page 33. ARCTIC FLAME (Fay, '60) Each $3.50 This breathtakingly beautiful big white has heavy texture and much raffling. The beard is thick and wide, and glows with a fier>' reddish tinge. A stalwart grower, the 35-inch stalks sturdy and well branched. HM AIS, 1960; AM. 1962. ASPENGLOW (Loomis, '56) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Vivid cadmium yellow self, the standards pleated near the base. This fine, large deep yellow is quite late and thus aids in extending the Iris season. One of the "Five Iris of the Year" for 1962. HM MS, 1958. AUGUST MOON (Schmelzer, '62) Each $5.00 Cool, greenish cream of heavy, leather-like substance. Flowers are of good form with lac)' raffles and the beard is deep yellow. 36 inches; midseason. HM AIS, 1964. BACCARAT (Gaulter, '67) Each $12.00 A carnival of color, blended graduations of brown, amber and light purple . . . like changeable silk ... in the heavily raffled standards, and extremely broad, flat, flaring falls of bright violet banded golden brown. Hafts are solid light brown and the beard is bright orange. Remindful of some pagan ceremonial dance! Large blossoms; 36-inch, well branched, heavv stems. HM .\IS, 1968. See page 32. BANG (Craig, '55) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 A red with a name in keeping with the impression it creates in the garden! Broad falls of briUiant color and heavy substance, slightly waved. Height 36 inches. HM, AIS, 1955, AM' 1960. See page 45. One of the "Five Iris of the Year" for 1963. BAZAAR (Schreiner, '55) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 A glorified version of Raspberry Ribbon, far more brilliant and more deeply colored. The blooms are very large, on 36-inch stems. HM AIS, 1956. BEECHLEAF (Kleinsorge, '55) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 This seedling of Prett\- Quadroon has attracted a lot of attention for the past several seasons. It is more raffled than its parent and, while bearing some resemblance because of its brownish hue, it is more coppery and is enlivened by a violet undertone. The beard is orange-brown. Very large blooms on 3-foot stalks. HM AIS, 1955: AM, 1959. BERMUDA HIGH (Tompkins, '64) Each $7.50 A self of glowini: "Blood Ruby" red, clean and unblemished, with chocolate brown beard. W'ide, domed standards and broad, flaring falls are special featvires of this new and exciting bright red. 40 inches, perfectly branched. HM AIS, 1966. BIG CHIEF (Hall, '64) Each $3.00 Deep, dark and handsome are appropriate words to apply to this big, rich mulberry' with orange-brown beards. The wide flaring falls curve slightly and a bit of lace along the edge adds elegance. Very tall and quite late, lasting until the end of the season. Stems will reach 40 inches or over. (6)
