LADY MOHR (Salbach, 1944) Each $20.00 



A new and altogether different addition to the interesting Wm. 

 Mohr family of Iris, this one brings a color combination previously 

 unknown in the tall bearded group. Standards are oyster-white, 

 huge and slightly fluted, with strong midribs. Falls are pale char- 

 treuse or greenish yellow, with prominent veining. There is a very 

 prominent dark patch surrounding the beard. Lady Mohr was the 

 center of interest in our garden last season, where some of the 

 stalks reached four feet in height and carried several open blooms 

 at one time. HM AIS, 1944; AM 1946. See page 25. 



LADY NAOMI (Fay, 1941) Each $3.00 



A tall and huge plicata, the white background entirely overlaid 

 and speckled blue. There is a brownish cast near the center and 

 a brilliant and heavy orange beard. HM AIS, 1942. 



LADY OF SHALOTT (Schreiner, 1942) Each $4.00 



Precisely formed and lacily frilled, a charming and delicately 

 colored pink plicata. Standards are heavily flushed rose-pink and 

 the falls are edged with a peppering of minute pinkish dots. 34 

 inches tall. 



LAKE SHANNON (DeForest, 1945) Each $15.00 



A mighty close approach to bright indigo-blue. There are many 

 fine new blue Irises coming into commerce but this is the bluest 

 one we have seen. Practically a self, with fluted standards and 

 falls. An odd feature about this Iris is the deeper veins running 

 the length and breadth of the falls. Beard uniformly blue, shading 

 to orange within the flower. 36 inches, well branched. HM AIS, 

 1946. 



LAMPLIGHT (Schreiner, 1944) Each $7.50 



A tranquil blend of flesh, buff and copper, with lamplight glow. 

 Lighter in tone than what is generally referred to as salmon, and 

 deeper than apricot. Well substanced, a smoothly blended self. 



LANCASTER (Cook, 1940) Each $2.00 



Very broad petaled coppery rose blend. It might be described as a 

 coppery old rose, with soft brown striation near the haft. HM AIS, 

 1941. 



LATE SUN (DeForest, 1940) Each $1.25; 3 for $3.25 



A big bold solid yellow which has received high praise in all parts 

 of the country. Flowers measure 6 inches, petals are thick and 

 heavy, and of a uniform deep yellow color. Strong growing, with 

 tall stalks and rampant foliage. Perfectly hardy, about 40 inches 

 tall. HM AIS, 1942. 



LIGHTHOUSE (Salbach, 1936) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



This bright rose blend is one of the most sought after Iris we grow. 

 Standards are a blend of rose and yellow; falls coppery old rose, 

 with a very bright beard and glowing center. Perfectly hardy, rapid 

 increaser; an Iris that is certain to add life to your planting. 

 HM AIS, 1937; AM, 1940. 



L. MERTON GAGE (Lapham, 1942) Each $3.50 



Light raspberry-pink and cream-yellow, the garden effect being a 

 light pink without orchid or lilac tones. Flowers of medium size, 

 produced in great profusion on quite tall stems. It is a rampant 

 grower, with one rhizome often throwing two or three stalks of 

 bloom. HM AIS, 1942. 



LORD DONGAN (Smith, 1940) Each $5.00 



A stunning creation with broad standards of Chinese violet and ex- 

 tra velvety falls of deepest Pansy-violet, set off with a very thick 

 intense pale yellow beard. HM AIS, 1940. 



LORI MAY (DeForest, 1941) Each $3.00 



Harmonious Daphne-pink; a genuine find in the popular pink class. 

 This Iris has very thick petals, excellent flaring form, and is espe- 

 cially fine as a clump. Good sized blooms, very close to true pink. 

 HM AIS, 1944. 



LOTHARIO (Schreiner, 1942) Each $8.00 



An Amigo-type amoeno; very rich and velvety, much taller than 

 the famous Amigo and with flowers of great size. Contrast in color 

 is not as sharply defined as in the case of its predecessor but it is 

 a magnificent Iris. Stock is extremely scarce. HM AIS, 1945. 



LOS ANGELES (Mohr-Mitchell, 1927) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



A beautiful white and blue plicata which ranks, despite the many 

 years it has been in commerce, with the best Iris of the present 

 day. Almost entirely white, the blue stitching appears near the 

 haft. Blue style arms and a golden beard give it great distinction. 

 AM AIS, 1944. 



LOUISE BLAKE (Smith, 1943) Each $10.00 



Of the Amigo type, with pale sky-blue standards and velvety blue- 

 purple falls edged sky-blue. Lighter in color than Atrwgo, otherwise 

 quite similar. HM AIS, 1944. 



LOUVOIS (Cayeux, 1936) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Brown, deep, rich and velvety, like the lustrous fur of an animal. 

 Breeders are still trying to attain an Iris that will be an improve- 

 ment on this distinct French creation. Done in two shades of 

 chocolate, it is well illustrated on page 18. HM AIS, 1939. Big 

 flowers, medium height.
