CHINQUAPIN GRACIE PFOST UTAH VALLEY (Muhlestein,'59) Each $1.50 A crisp, ruffled, bright violet with a large, round, white patch in the center of each fall. Shoulder high stems bring the flowers al- most up to eye level! HM AIS, 1959; AM, 1961. VALIMAR (Hamblen, '58) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Derived from Palomino, it's a smooth apricot-pink with a wide nasturtium-red beard. Judges raved over this at the 1958 American Iris Society Convention in New York, and so will you! HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1960. See page 58. One of the "5 Iris of the Year" for 1965. WAYWARD WIND (Baker, '58) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Burnished bronze, a peculiar greenish shade of tan or brown. Even the beard is in harmony. This Iris has rather flat, flaring falls, with some ruffling and the large blooms are produced in profusion. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1961. WENATCHEE KID (Noyd, '58) Each $3.00 Large tan, with most striking haft markings of burnt sienna. The effect is that of chocolate-brown on light tan, and there is a greenish midrib line to add further distinction. 34-36 inches; rather late. HM AIS, 1961. Shown on page 24. VELVET BRASS (Tompkins, '65) Each $7.50 Blended tan-gold-brown self, with some hints of French lilac in the standards and around the edges of the falls. A novel color pattern. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1968. VELVET ROBE (Schreiner, '60) Each $2.00 Well named, a deep but glowing shade of plushy crimson red with golden beard. The haft is solidly colored and petals are lightly ruffled. This is our choice of the Schreiner reds to date. HM AIS, 1960. See page 59. VIOLET HARMONY (Lowry,'52) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Light violet in color, with a lighter patch in the center of the falls. Very large, of elegant form, and nicely ruffled. Winner of the President's Cup in 1953; Dykes Medal, 1957. VIOLET HILLS (DeForesi,'56) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Here is the last word in deep true violet color! The 7-inch flowers shine like taffeta, even on a rainy day, and they will take rain, wind, or sun. Standards, falls and beard are a unifonn rich violet- purple, the beard is lightly tipped blue. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1956; AM, 1958. Winner of the President's Cup 1960. See page 49. WANDERING RAINBOW (Tompkins, '65) Each $20.00 A shimmering blend of rose, brown, gold and electric blue. This combination of tints is found also in Martel and Royal Tapestry, yet the three are distinct from each other. This one has extra heavy stalks with good branching and reaches 39 inches. Very late. HM AIS, 1966. WENATCHEE VALLEY (Noyd, '65) Each $20.00 Frilled lacey pink standards, edged tan; wide, flaring falls of creamy white edged with pinkish tan. With its very red beard it is one of the most beautiful and novel of all recent introductions. Late. HM AIS, 1966. WHOLE CLOTH (Cook, '58) Each $2.00 This is the first of the series of new style amoenas from the gar- den of Paul Cook. Standards are pure white, the falls soft medium blue and the beard is practically white. Petals are broad and flar- ing. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1960. Dykes Medal, 1962. Shown on page 44. WILD APACHE (Gibson, '65) Each $6.00 So vivid and lively that the name is truly in keeping with this sensational new plicata. The color is cinnamon-violet on white, the standards almost solidly colored cinnamon-violet. Beard is orange- bronze. An exceptionally large flower, with perfect balance and ideal ruffling, very broad in all its parts. Heavy stems, extra good branching, 35 inches tall. HM AIS, 1966. See page 35. WILD GINGER (Gibson, '62) Each $2.50 A deeply flounced and ruffled new plicata in ginger brown and creamy white, the standards almost solid soft brown. Flowers measure almost 8 inches from tip to tip. The hea\>- ruffling extends far up into the throat which is peppered with a warm golden brown. Petals possess a waxed or starchy quality of stiffness which adds to the especially long lasting period of each blossom. Height 35 inches. See page 13. HM AIS, 1963; AM, 1965. (55)
