You love gardening—America’s most popular hobby.
But unless you have learned about and grown some of
today’s modern Iris you and your garden are

due for some mighty pleasant surprises!

Color? Why, these new kinds offer the most ex-
citing color range of any flower that grows.
‘There are luscious pinks, great blooms of solid
golden yellow, Jersey creams, blues of the sky
and of deep waters, soft tans and chocolate-brown,
henna-reds and richest burgundies—and there are
whites as clean as freshly fallen snow, sparkling cop-
pers and melting shades of apricot. Some come in
marbled patterns, others are delicately stitched or
sanded. Some are ruffled, others are smartly tailored.
Many are gigantic in size—7 inches in diameter!
There are tall ones, short ones, and a host of average
height. You can have them early, mid-season and
late. Yes, the Iris is truly the perennial supreme...
and so easy to grow!

The brand new Novelties listed on the next two pages re-
sult from the skilled hybridizing experience of three prom-
inent, long time members and accredited judges of the
American Iris Society . . . Larry Gaulter of Castro Valley,
California, Jim Gibson of Porterville, California and Jean-
ette Nelson of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Their prior introduc-
tions are indications of what may be expected in the way
of quality.

NORMANDIE

evo Iris For 1968 |

NORMANDIE (Gaulter, ‘68) Each $20.00

Light lavender-lilac, shading to near white in the center
of the falls. The contrasting yellow to tangerine beard en-
livens the soft, pastel tone of the big, broad petaled blossoms,
the falls of which almost touch each other. Here is beauty,
polish and grace in an Iris, the color of which may not
seem so exciting in print . . . but it is really super! No.
63-340. 38 inches. Midseason to late.

SAUCY SUE (Gibson, ’68) Each $20.00
Silky standards of golden tan, flushed with a reddish under-
tone; falls of garnet red rimmed with brown. This is a
luxurious piece of color in a very large flower, the falls
edged with heavy folds of plush-like ruffles and pleats. Gen-
eral effect is two shades of chestnut. Our picture is a bit too
light in color. 36 inches. Midseason. No. 67-2PE.

ULTRALURE (Gibson, ‘68) Each $20.00
A copper and white plicata, the standards flushed with mul-
berry and a soft tint of mulberry barely present near the
rim of the falls. Petals are decidedly crimped and fluted at
the margins. Derived from Wild Ginger, it is less pinkish,
and more of a bright copper-brown effect than we have in
the parent. Rather late. 34 inches. No. 35-OPLD.

SUNLIT (Gibson, ‘68) Each $20.00
Shown on the cover. A gay combination of warm tan and
ivory, with a light sprinkling of warm maroon on the brown-
ish haft. Center of the falls is near white and the beard is
bronze. Flowers are large, petals crimped and ruffled and
the stems are well branched. 36 inches. Midseason. No.
66-2PD.

CULTURE OF BEARDED IRIS

Irises prefer full sun but will grow and bloom well if given half
a day of sunlight. The bearded iris will not tolerate wet feet and
the gardener can avoid many problems by providing good drainage.

Irises will grow in any good garden soil. If other plants make
pood growth in your garden, irises will flourish in it. But extra food
is necessary for best growth and bloom. For the new planting a
balanced chemical fertilizer can be dug into the soil at the rate of
pne ounce per square foot, if this is done three weeks before the
plants are set in. Half this amount should be used if it is added just
before planting time. Large quantities of well-rotted compost or
well-rotted manure ate good additions but should be placed eight
inches deep or dug into the soil and they should not be piled around
the rhizome. It is good to combine the chemical fertilizer with the
rotted materials and to dig both in together. In general, fertilizers
bigh in nitrogen should be avoided.

Each spring, after growth begins, one handful of granulated
super phosphate plus two handfuls of agricultural gypsum can be
sprinkled in a circle around each clump. A half ounce of balanced
fertilizer may be substituted for the super phosphate. It is good to
make these applications just before a rain, or to hose the plants
clean of any fertilizer which has fallen on the new growth.

Like many perennial plants, irises may be moved at any time if
proper care is taken. However, there is a best time to move them,
This is during the dormant period which extends from soon after
they bloom until the time when new growth develops. (It is for
this reason that we ship in July, August and September.) If you
Move your irises within this period you will have the least trouble
and the greatest success.

Just one word of caution about injury is necessary. Since disease
May enter through open wounds it is better to trim foliage away
with shears rather than to tear it away, and to cut rhizomes apart
father than to break them apart. Cut surfaces and injuries which
Jo occur should be exposed to the sunlight for several hours before
eplanting. A light dusting of sulphur on such wounds is still fur-
ther insurance against future troubles.

Although your bloom should be fairly good the year after trans-
planting, your best bloom will occur in the second to fourth years,
$0 do not divide your clumps too soon. But after three or four years
the rhizomes will become crowded and should be dug, divided,
and replanted. This is also the time to revitalize your soil by add-
ing humus and fertilizer as was recommended for the new planting.

SL -y

Fy ee, SAO
NT RRS 4

After about 3 or 4 years an old clump should
be dug up and divided. Healthy, growing
rhizomes are separated from old bloomstalks
and weak, wornout portions discarded. Wash
rhizomes thoroughly before replanting. Best
time to do this is July, August or early Sept.

Before planting a new bed
of Iris, dig in plant food and
cultivate well. When ready
to plant, dig two slanting
holes, leaving a_ dividing
ridge in the center.

Place the rhizome direct-
ly over the center of the
ridge and spread the
feeding roots to either
side, so the plant is se-
curely anchored.

Pull

dirt towards plant
from either side. By
pressing on top of root,

proper planting depth
may be regulated. Firm
with foot and water well.

NEW IRIS FOR 1968 (continued)

CATALDO (J. Nelson, ’68) Each $25.00

A huge, deep apricot self, with a slight flush of pink in the
standards. A red-tangerine beard adds to the brilliant
orange-apricot effect. Both standards and falls are of excep-
tional breadth, the standards closed and the falls flaring
and fluted. It is a deeper and more radiant hue than Lunar
Fire, which it to some degree resembles. Very stalwart 36-
inch well branched stems. Seedling No. 62-28-1.

ELEGANT FARMER (Gaulter, ‘68) Each $20.00

Appropriately nicknamed “The Moose” by its breeder . . .
gigantic in size, a soft tan with a bluish blaze on the falls.
The heavy orange beard ends with a thin, white dart. Sculp-
tured in form, the standards upright and closed, the falls
gracefully flaring and waved at the margins. If you like them
big, but not coarse, try this one. No. 62-31D. 3 feet. Well
branched.

GOLDEN LARK (Gibson, ‘68) Each $20.00

An orange-yellow self with ruffles and lace, produced on 42-
inch, heavy stems. The very large, golden yellow flowers
create a dazzling array of sunshine from midseason to fairly
late. Shown on page 2, inside the front cover . . . note the
elegant form and charm of the fluted standards along with
perfect balance of the entire blossom. No. 43-ILB.

ORINDA (Gaulter, ‘68) Each $20.00

A crisp, ruffled blend of rose and tan, from the unusual
cross of Melodrama and Mademoiselle. This latter parent
produced Claudia Rene; which in turn has sired a vast
number of Gaulter’s best and most distanct things. Orinda
has smooth hafts of copper-brown on crisp, wavy falls of
rose-lilac; the standards are ruffled and closed, a blend of
tan and rose. Beard is orange-brown. 36 inches. No. 63-251.

PACIFICA (J. Nelson, ’68) Each $25.00

This gigantic French blue with darker lavender-violet shad-
ing in the central area is derived from (Demetria x French
Flair) x High Above. The falls are extremely wide and
stand out almost horizontally. Beard is pale yellow tipped
light blue. The great, flat falls summon up thoughts of a
Japanese Iris and the color is a lovely symphony of pastel
blues and violets. Many flowers to the 3-foot stalks. Seedling
No. 66-25-1.

SAN LEANDRO (Gaulter, ’68) Each $25.00

A most unusual shade of light purple, or perhaps ‘“‘slate-
blue” might be a more apt term. This is lit with a rich
tangerine-red beard. Branching almost from the ground, on
heavy stems, it carries above the average number of large
flowers and thus blooms over a very long season. Nearest
thing to it in color combination might be Lovely Letty. Both
Arctic Flame and Rippling Waters are in the parentage. 36
inches. No. 65-52.

USorlds Finest Leises

ACCENT (Buss, ‘53) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50
Large, tall and vigorous variegata. The clean yellow standards con-
trast most agreeably with the rose-red falls. Its bright color and
huge size resulted in its having been selected as one of the five
“Tris of the Year” for 1958. 36 inches.

AFTER ALL (Dave Hall, ‘67) Each $15.00
The heavily fringed and flounced petals of this deep, ivory-cream
Iris suggests some of the intricate lace-like work of Oriental ar-
tisans. 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 page 3.

AFTER DARK (Schreiner, ‘63) Each $3.50
Deepest, velvety, rich violet-blue. The big, slightly ruffled flowers

ground Sanune since its height is only about two feet. HM AIS,

ALASKAN CROWN (J. Nelson ‘66) Each $14.00
This ruffy combination of white and igele is regarded by Mrs.
Nelson as one of the most distinct and beautiful things she has
originated. Broad of petal, in both standards and falls, it is pure
white with heavy lace and “crimpings” of yellow all about the
edges. Hafts are deep yellow set with reddish-orange beards.
Height, branching, size and substance are all excellent. HM AIS,
1967.

BLUE SAPPHIRE (Schreiner, ‘53) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50
“Heavenly blue” is a phrase befitting this ruffled addition to an
increasingly popular color class. Lighter in tone than many others,

Dykes Medal, 1958. See page 38.

BLUE SPINEL (Gibson, ‘61) Each $1.50
A genuine gem of unsurpassed quality and color perfection. The

son. HM AIS, 1964; AM, 1966. Shown on back cover.

RIPPLING WATERS (Fay, ‘61) Each $5.00
Pale bluish-orchid, a shade difficult to describe but it certainly is
not in any sense pink. The very bright tangerine beard, on a
creamy ground, creates a dramatic and unusual effect. Big blos-
soms, flaring falls, with ripples, ruffles and frills. 36 inches. HM
AIS, 1962; AM, 1964. Dykes Medal, 1966. Shown on page 7.

ROBERT J. GRAVES (K. Smith, ’58) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00
A gigantic late white with yellow beard. It is flawless in form with
big closed standards and broad falls of enamel-like finish. Three to
four-foot stems are ramrod straight and the branching is perfect.

ROCKET RUST (Gibson, ‘63) Each $3.50
Falls are bright rusty copper smoothly blended on a creamy ground,
the standards solidly colored rusty copper. Lighter, brighter and
much larger than Chinquapin but with some of the same hues and
tints found in that fine new plicata. Petals are thick, broad and
lightly ruffled. Height 36 inches. HM AIS, 1964. Shown on page 23.

ROCOCO (Schreiner, ’60) Each $2.50
Ruffled and fluted, giant plicata of bright blue on clean white, the
blue pattern especially wide and heavy in the folds of the stand-
ards. The falls are pure white in the center, with a quite distinct
band of blue encircling a full half inch of the pleated and ruffled
border. Beard is deep yellow. Early; 40 inches. Patent No. 2077.
HM AIS, 1960; AM, 1962. See page 12.

ROMANESQUE (Hall, ’60) Each $2.50

A very large, deep mulberry flower, near the color of Elmohr but a
bit more “rosy.” The beard is not heavy but is quite reddish. Ruf-
fled and waved, with very broad standards and falls. Stalks are tall
and stiff, the branching very good. HM AIS, 1961. See page 16.

ROSE AMETHYST (Kleinsorge, ‘57) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50
A plum-colored Iris with rosy glow and soft brown hafts. Unique
in color, the flowers large and perfectly formed; we are quite sure
that you will find it a lovely garden subject and one that will

attract immediate attention in any collection of the very finest.
Height 3 feet or over.

ROSECREST (Hall, ’63) Each $3.00
Surely a completely new color combination — soft flesh pink shad-
ing to bright rose-peach along the margins of both the standards
and falls. Flowers are produced in profusion and are fluted and
ruffled. Good size, spreading falls, 3-foot stems. HM AIS, 1965.

ROSEDALE (Hall, ’52) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00

Much ruffled salmon-pink blend, the falls held squarely horizontal.
A two-year clump is a mass of bloom. It is very late, about 30

inches in height, ideal for the front of the border. HM AIS, 1954.

“The Iris arrived yesterday and were planted today. They were in ;
dition as usual, and I want to thank you especially for sending me ai

I am looking forward eagerly to next Spring.”

Mrs. W.S. Shelly, Clementon, N.]

SYMPHONY

OLYMPIC TORCH

“I have always had luck with the iris I received from you, they always
bloom the first year. Isaac W. Habecker, Lebanon, Penna.

ROYAL TAPESTRY (Schreiner, ’64) Each $10.00
A deep blend of red, bronze, copper and violet, lavishly beautiful
and imposing in appearance. Of giant size, the ruffled flowers ex-
hibit a regal richness and an ember-like glow. Ruffled petals; ex-
cellent branching. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1965.

ROYAL VIOLET (Riddle, ’59) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00
The great size and all-round majesty of this fine Iris cannot be
adequately brought out in our picture on page 59. It is more blue
than Violet Hills, velvety rather than silky and the beard is light
blue to almost white. The petals are extremely broad and flaring.
40 inches. HM AIS, 1959.

RUFFLED DREAM (E. Smith, ’63) Each $7.50
A lovely ruffled and frilled soft yellow; standards, falls and style-
arms all lacy and crimped. 38-inch stems, large flowers.

[48] LYNN HALL

sess

LOVELY LETTY

Each $5.00
A pure self of Midnight Violet, with broad, domed standards ana
huge, rounded, near horizontal falls. The violet beard with bronze-
yellow tips is set on smooth and solidly colored hafts. Majestic in
every way! 36 inches. HM AIS, 1963.

RUMBLING THUNDER (Tompkins, ’62)

SABLE NIGHT (P. Cook, ’52) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50
Richest black velvet, with very deep glow of underlying red.
Heavy bronze beard. Winner of the Dykes Medal in 1955. One of
the “5 Iris of the Year” for 1961. Shown on page 45.

SEAFAIR QUEEN (R. Brown, ’61) Each $4.00
Beautiful ivory white with heavily laced edges of pale yellow and
a yellow beard. Excellent form with wide, flaring falls. A good
parent for lacy seedlings. 32 inches. HM AIS, 1963.

CAPTAIN GALLANT
SEASHELL MUSIC (Ernst, ‘65) Each $8.00

A blend of rose and copper etched on creamy white, remindful of
some of the colorful seashells from tropic shores. Huge in size,
ideal in form, and the flowers of thick enamel-like substance are
produced on 40-inch stems. This is from My Honeycomb x Fairy
Fable, so you see it is one-half pink and should provide good op-
portunity tor breeding. See page 8.

SEPTEMBER SONG (Hamblen, ’62) Each $3.50

Coral standards, yellow falls, the shrimp-red beard set on a white
haft area. This is remindful of bright autumn color on a sunny day.
Ruffled flowers of good size on 32-inch stems. HM AIS, 1963.

PALOMINO

TOAAQCNNAMAACe®A

nNN-A

TAHOLAH

SHEIK OF ARABY (Wickersham, ’60) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00
A symphony in muted violets, bronze and copper. The very large
flowers lack nothing in either form, substance or width of petal
that goes into the making of a perfect Iris. Stems are strong and
sturdy, the branching well placed. Height is about 36-38 inches.
Shown on page 41.

SIERRA SKIES (Shortman, ’54) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50
Here we have the blue of a bright blue sky, the large blossoms
superbly held on tall stems, the wide falls flaring gracefully. This

lovely Iris is in great demand as one which comes nearest to spec-
trum-blue 38 inches. HM AIS, 1954; AM, 1956.

SILENCE (Tompkins, ’66) Each $25.00
A brilliantly rich, deep yellow with a self-colored beard and a
slightly lighter canary yellow glow over the central part of the falls.
tomes considers this his finest yellow to date. 38 inches. Rather
ate.

SIVA-SIVA (Gibson, ’62) Each $3.00
A flamboyant combination of rich golden standards flushed with
cinnamon and porcelain white falls heavily bordered and etched
brilliant red-mahogany-brown. All petals are fluted and rippled
and the flaring falls are almost horizontal. The large, long lasting
flowers are fragrant with the scent of spice. Height 36 inches. HM
AIS, 1963. See page 39.

SOARING KITE (J. Nelson, ’58) Each $2.00
Wide, ruffled flaring ivory and pale primrose — a creamy effect in a
very tall and large Iris. This is a color that blends well with every-
thing and will provide an excellent background for others of
medium height. HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1963.

SOLID GOLD (Kleinsorge, ‘51) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50
The deepest yellow imaginable, without actually being orange
e VY fother tan yellow. Huge in ee very, wide at ne haft, ideally
ormed and supremely branched. Height over 3 feet. HM AIS,

TAHITI SUNRISE TOSI WANINTOSSeScetparcloil

SON OF SATAN (Wickersham, ‘62) Each $2.50
A large blackish-maroon self, with a sooty overlay and bronzy
brown beard in harmony. The falls are especially wide at the haft
and are semi-flaring. This is a vigorous grower, producing many
well-branched 3-foot stems to the clump. See at left.

SORORITY GIRL (Moldovan, ‘60) Each $2.50
Ruffled salmon-pink with an almost white area in the center of
each fall. Very large blooms with conical swirled standards and
large rounded falls. Salmon colored beard. 34 inches. HM AIS,
1960.

SOUTHERN COMFORT (Hinkle, ‘65) Each $8.00
A rich, creamy beauty with an intensification of deeper yellow on
the hafts and in the heart. Beard is matching yellow. Extra, wide
standards and falis are pleated and rufted. Cne of the finest of
all recent novelties. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1966. See page 30.

SOUTH PACIFIC (Smith, ’54) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50
Famous light blue, introduced at one-hundred dollars per rhizome.
Regarded by many judges as the best of its color, it is perfectly
formed, bright and silky. 40 inches tall. The beard is almost white.

tangerine. Broad petals waved at the margins. Large blooms on
sturdy 36-inch stems. HM AIS, 1963.

ELEANOR’S PRIDE
STEP FORWARD (Hall, ’59) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00

Truly a gigantic flower of light lavender-blue on imposing stems.
Although of great size it appears graceful and attractive because
of the waved or ruffled extra wide falls. The stalks will reach
38-40 inches and the branching is ideal. This is an extraordinary
Iris in a somewhat staid color group. HM AIS, 1961.

STEPPING OUT (Schreiner, ’64) Each $8.00
A new plicata remindful of a combination of Dot and Dash and
Rococo. The ground color is snowy white, the margins of both

tall. HM AIS, 1965; AM, 1967. See page 30.

There is a slight olive cast on the haft and the beard is bright
yellow. Well branched, 36-inch stems. HM AIS, 1958. See page 37.

Each $12.50
While not really a black it is assuredly one of the darkest of the
blackish-toned blues. A self, somewhere between very dark navy
blue and blackish aconite, with a blue-black beard to match. Huge,
flaring flowers with unveined, lustrous finish. 44 inches.

BLACK TAFFETA

SUN CHARIOT (Hall, ‘63) Each $3.50
A widely spreading, bright chrome to sulphur yellow giant, the
lighter shades being predominant in the center of the falls and
near the beard. Margins of the falls are heavily serrated and
fringed. Beard is deep yellow, not orange. Blossoms measure 8
inches in width and the stalks reach 38 inches or more in height.

SUNNY SPLENDOR (Schreiner, ’65) Each $12.00

standards are closed and overlapping. Midseason to late. 36 inches.

SUNSET BLAZE (Kleinsorge, ’48) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00
A tall and huge golden flame-salmon blend, almost a red, but with
so much of the gold influence in it that it is not really a red Iris.
A most impressive flower, blooming very early on widely branched
stalks reaching 42 inches. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. Color picture
on page 42.

SURPRISE PARTY (Kleinsorge, 55) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00

SYLVAN STREAM (Schreiner, ’61) Each $2.50

Utmost clarity of color combined with a smooth enamel-like finish
gives this new blue remarkable garden value. It has size, sub-
stance, unexcelled branching and many buds to the 38-inch stem.

ask for. HM AIS, 1962.

1958; AM, 1963. See page 47.

TAHITI SUNRISE (Ernst, ’63) Each $3.50
Beautifully tailored and perfectly proportioned pink with an under-
tone of salmon. The heavy Saturn red beard and the very broad
falls are remindful of Fairy Fable but the shade of pink is entire]
different. The blooms are extra large in size, especially for a pin
and the texture is like heavy porcelain. We regard it as one of the
best so far, in every way. Sturdy 36-inch stems, well branched.
H.C. AIS, 1962; HM AIS, 1965. Shown on page 50.

TAHOLAH (Gibson, ’56) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50

Nearly true black, especially the falls which are very wide and
velvety. Nicely ruffled. 36 inches; fairly late.

TAWNY MINK (Schreiner, ‘66) Each $15.00

ceptional quality. Medium late. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1967.

TECHNY CHIMES (Bro. Charles, ‘55) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00

inches. See page 45.

TEMPLE BELLS (Hall, ’52) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00

EXPLANATION OF TERMS
USED IN DESCRIPTIONS

The American Iris Society makes a num-
ber of awards annually to outstanding
Iris varieties. Each year the highest honor
given is the “Dykes Medal.” Other a-
wards are as follows:

H.C. “Highly Commended”
A.M. “Award of Merit”
H.M. “Honorable Mention”

In order to be eligible for the Dykes
Medal an Iris must have previously
earned both the Honorable Mention and
Award of Merit, the latter two having
been separated by a one year interval.

Varieties designated as “Plicatas” bear
markings of stitches, dots or stipples. A
“self” is a flower of one color only.

“All the iris which I have purchased from
you were lovely this Spring. I just look for-
ward from one Spring to another to enjoy
their loveliness.”

Paulette C. Bretey, Babylon, N. Y.
