Orinda $5.00 



MARIE PHILLIPS (Tell, '63) ML. 36" $1 .50 



A complete self of light Wisteria violet, an enchanting shade hard to 

 describe. Beard is the same color. The nearest thing to this is Lilac 

 Festival, which is somewhat lighter. Domed standards and flaring 

 falls, lightly ruffled. HM. - 64; AM, '66. See page 41. 



MARTEL (Tell, '62) ML. 36" 



$1.50 



LOVELY LETTY (Hall, '60) EM. $1 .00 



Bright violet-blue with very brilliant tangerine beard, 30-32 inches 

 tall, with many flowers. Very flaring falls, standing almost horizontal 

 —a fine feature for an Iris of medium height. Self colored except for 

 the fiery beard. HM, '61. 



LOVE WITH LACE ( Plough, 7 1 ) ML. 36" $20.00 



Delicate light pink self, with ruffled, closed and lacy standards. Falls 

 are ruffled, fluted and heavily laced. Style arms wide and beard 

 carrot red with pink tip. Large flowers well branched and very 

 appealing. Shown on page 5. 



LUCKY NUMBER (Noyd, 70) M. 34" 



$17.50 



A reverse pink amoena. Standards are medium pink and falls are 

 white edged pink. The beards are tangerine, good substance and well 

 branched. HM, '72. 



LUNAR FIRE (Hall, '63) M. 36" $1 .50 



Featured in color on page 47 ... a big, spreading, lace-edged flower 

 of golden amber hues, the sharply contrasting beard a blazing tan- 

 gerine red. In addition to form and size it has petals of extra heavy 

 thickness and very stout well branched stems. HM, '64. 



LUSTY SONG (Gibson, '66) ML. 36" $2.00 



A unique shade of Burgundy on white, the falls very squarely held, 

 thick in substance, with just a narrow band of bright Burgundy. The 

 conical standards are almost solidly colored Burgundy, matching the 

 band on the falls. Large, ideally branched. Shown on page 41. 



LYNN HALL (Hall, '57) M. 36" $1 .50 



Invariably draws a crowd of admirers. A very deep and uniform shade 

 of luscious pink. It flowers freely, is beautifully branched and grows 

 and increases vigorously. HM, '57; AM, '59. See page 51. 



MAD MAID (Gibson, '66) M. 34" $2.00 



A novel plicata that has reddish-tan standards, and 

 white ground falls bordered copper, which shades into 

 reddish-brown markings. Really different and good! 

 HM, '67. Shown on page 29. 



MARGARITA (Schreiner, '68) ML. 37" $5.00 



This is a rather startling and unique new Iris with crys- 

 tal white standards and contrasting falls of sumptuous, 

 velvety blue-purple. Entirely different from such things 

 as the old Wabash or Gaylord type, a huge flower with 

 wide petals and graceful ruffling. The beard is practically 

 white. HM, '69. See page 26. 



24 



A deep and rich sultry blend of red, maroon and violet with a yellow 

 beard. Width of petals, smoothness, substance and ruffling add to its 

 high quality. HM. '63; AM, '65. See page 47. 



MARTINIQUE (B. Jones, 70) M. 34" $5.00 



Hyacinth blue with standards slightly lighter. The beard tangerine 

 tipped amethyst. Plenty of ruffles with excellent form. Vigorous 

 grower. HM. 72. 



MARY FRANCES (Gaulier, 73) M. 38" $20.00 



This is a lovely light blue-orchid self with white-centered falls. It has 

 a white beard lightly touched with yellow. The falls are wide and 

 nicely flaring with standards closing gently in a round, wavy top. Tall 

 with good branching and a long season of bloom. The hybridizer 

 considers this his finest seedling. Shown on our front cover. 



MATINATA (Schreiner, '68) ML. 39" $6.00 



Absolute perfection in a dark, violet-black Iris. This is a complete 

 self, including the beard. Classic in form, the standards upright and 

 closed, the falls very broad and velvety and devoid of haft markings, 

 a robust flower. 7 to 9 buds to the stem. HM, '69; AM, '71. 



MAUVE MINK (Hall, '61 ) M. 36" $1 .50 



This is pretty much a self— a bewitching shade of rosy lilac and a 

 hint of blue with a red-orange beard. Note the opulence of the 

 ruffled standards and the breadth of the spreading falls. Flowers are 

 large in size, well branched stalks. Shown on page 53. HM, '62. 



MAY MELODY (Hamblen, '65) EM. 36" $2.00 



Standards are yellow, flushed pink; falls clean white, bordered 

 deeper yellow. The beard is heavy and of a fiery red-orange. Falls 

 are ruffled and flaring. HM, '66; AM, '69. Shown on page 38.
