MEGGIE (Gaulter, 70) M. 36" $10.00 



A uniform shade of bright rose in both standards and falls. Even the 

 style arms are of this same rose tint. The hafts carry a contrasting 

 wash of rose-purple and this in turn is lit with a very thick, fiery 

 deep orange-red beard. The falls are especially wide and flaring, the 

 standards upright and closed. Extra large flowers on perfectly branched 

 stems. HM, '71. See page 15. 



MEMPHIS LASS (Schortman, '57) M. $1 .00 



A very ruffled white plicata, with rose to Burgundy markings on the 

 clean white falls and standards of almost solid Burgundy-rose. Big 

 fully formed flowers on 38-inch stems. One of the "5 Iris of the Year" 

 for 1967. 



MEREDITH HUES (Powell, '69) ML. 34" $7.50 



Wide, nicely ruffled bitone with standards of oyster white and falls of 

 blended carmine and maroon, edged in pinkish white. Quite different. 



MERRY MADCAP (Gibson, '69) M. 34" $5.00 



Bright mahogany-red-brown, very uniform in color, with the center 

 of the falls a warm, creamy hue. Petals are decidely ruffled, very wide 

 and full, the edges of the falls seemingly folded as if designed of 

 drapery fabric. Nicely branched. See page 21. 



MILADY (Moldovan, '66) ML. 34" $2.50 



A deep pink self with an underlying bluish cast. The beard is tan- 

 gerine-red. Standards are domed and the broad falls are semi-flaring. 

 Clean and fresh looking with large blooms. HM, '67. 



MILESTONE (Plough, '65) EML. 36" $5.00 



A combination of butterscotch yellow standards and dahlia purple 

 falls, the hafts overlaid brown. A blue blaze in the center of the falls 

 extends up to and under the beard. HM, '66; AM, '68. Picture on 

 page 22. 



MILLIONAIRE (Brizendine, '58) ML. 36" $1 .00 



Glamorous light golden brown self, the standards a shade lighter than 

 the falls. There is a metallic shine to the ruffled petals and this gives 

 it much more life than the usual brown or tan varieties. HM, '58; 

 AM, '60. See page 54. 



MISS INDIANA (Cook, '61) M. 36" $3.00 



An enchanting amoena with conical white standards, lightly tinted

 low branched. Lovely. HM, '62; AM, '64. Pictured on page 32. 



MISSION SUNSET (Bro. Charles, '63) M. 36" $2.00 



This is derived from Celestial Glory and is in the same brilliant 

 orange color range. Described by some as "golden apricot." Mission 

 Sunset carries a hint of pink and a touch of chartreuse on the falls.

 See page 47. 



MOD MODE (Gibson, 70) M. 38" $7.50 



A whole series of stitched, dotted and etched seedlings has come along 

 from crosses using April Melody as one parent. It is a very delicate 

 light shade of pink, almost white, with a fine pattern of deeper 

 pinkish etching. Ideal form, opulent bloom and tall, well branched 

 stalks contribute to its alluring charm. See page 16. HM, '72. 



MORNING BREEZE (Fay, '63) EM. 34" $2.50 



Related to Rippling Waters, lighter in tone but in the same elusive, 

 pale blue-orchid and cream combination of merged tints. Ruffled 

 flowers with brilliant beards. HM '64. 



MUSIC HALL (Hamblen, '67) EM. 36" $3.50

 vigorous grower and a most popular color. HM, '68. 



MUSIC MAKER (Wafers, '63) EM. 34" $2.50

 stems. HM, '64; AM, '66.
