MAROUITA 



Each 25c 



A well named \v\s in hnlliunt ixory Nellow. with oehraceous 

 maroon veinings on the falls.- Standards are ivory deepening 

 to sulphur at the base. Falls are the same color, but are 

 entirely linei.1 maroon Always a sellout. 



MATTERHORN Each $2.50 



The most beautiful and cleanest white we have ever seen. 

 It does not displace Snovvking, for they are entirely different 

 in type, the latter big. bold and imposing, while Matterhorn 

 is delicate despite its large size — ladylike, one might say. 

 Pure white, even the beard is cream. Very well brancheel, 40 

 inches tall. 



MATULA Each $2.00 



A beautiful blend of brilliant rose, rich orange, crimson and 

 buff. This is one of the latest sensations from those w izards, 

 the Sass Brothers. The flower is very large, with long falls 

 that are waved and crimped, as are those of Midwest Gem. 

 This makes a mighty handsome pair. 



MAY DAY Each $5.00 



Declared to be the finest apricot-salmon thus far originated. 

 Self colored in standards and falls, it has a suffusion of 

 burnished copper and a very bright orange beard. A large 

 bloom on husky stalks. 



MELDORIC Each 25c ; 3 for 60c 



Huge blue-black self, one of the richest and most striking 

 irises ever introduced. Neither a rapid increaser nor a free 

 flouerer, it rewards the owner with spikes of bloom that are 

 well worth waiting for. 



MIDWEST GEM Each $1.00 



One of the \ ery best new Sass varieties, a beautiful self of 

 pale apricot yellow, lightly flushed pink. Immense in both 

 stalk and flower, it particularly attracts those who first see 

 it because of the odd crimped petals. 



MING YELLOW Each $3.50 



A yellow without a fault — clear, rich, smooth without vena- 

 tion, big and slightly waved. Habit of growth similar to 

 Depute Nomblot. Mrs. Pattison considers it the most sensa- 

 tional iris she has e\ er grown, and so states in her catalog. 



MISS CALIFORNIA Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



Cjigantic lilac pink, with the growing habits of Dauntless, 

 one of the parents. While not the "pinkest" iris, the shade 

 of this one is quite novel and it surely has every attribute 

 that one could wish for in a perfect flower. One of the high- 

 lights from Carl Salbach, See page 14. 



MISSOURI Each 40c 



A famous clear blue that won the Dykes medal in 1Q37. The 

 color is particularly fine when afforded light shade from the 

 afternoon sun. Stock still limited. 



MISSOURI NIGHT Each $1 .00 ; 3 for $2.50 



Rich indigo blue, with a purple cast, the haft devoid of 

 veining but enriched with brown at the center. Beard is bright 

 orange. A thoroughly fine iris and the best one we know of 

 this t\pe. 



MME. LOUIS AUREAU Each 75c 



This heavily dotteel and sanded plicata from Cayeux is a 

 rival of the series now so popular from the Sasses It has a 

 ground color of silvery white, closely netted with rosy helio- 

 trope. A \ ery large blossom, 



MODISTE Each $1 .00 ; 3 for $2.50 



•A beautilul sell ol pale mau\e, niLich dillerent irom other 

 pale blues and lavenders now available. In color it is similar 

 to the old and lovely "Mile. Schwartz," but MODISTE is 

 a flower of broad hafts, full rounded shape, and ideal growing 

 habits. Stems are heavy, well branched, and around 40 inches 

 tall. Show n in color on page 1^1 



MOHRSON Each' 75c 



.A deep \ lolet colored seedling of W'm. Mohr, w ith darker 

 veins and a rich bronzy gold beard. Here is a spectacular 

 flower, one of the very largest, ruffled and crinkled 



MONADNOCK Each $ 1 . 50 



fall and stately, a bright rose-red self, with flaring falls and 

 smooth finish. A seedling of Marr|uita, L|Liite late, over 40 

 inches in height. 



MOROCCO ROSE Each $1.50 



Very large rose-pink self, with soft yellow glow at the heart 

 and brownish cast about the haft. We believe it to be the 

 nearest to genuine pink of any iris in this catalog. Unlike 

 most iris of this color, Morocco Rose is a really big flower. 



MOUNTAIN SNOW Each 75c 



A cool white, as the name implies, with a very faint sugges- 

 tion of blue shadow on the falls. A New England introduction, 

 with size and height to satisfy any critic, and with very 

 broad falls and thick substance, 



MRS. SILAS WATERS Each 75c 



Huge primrose yellow self, stani.lards and (alls practically 

 the same shaele, cream haft, 'fhree feet and o\cr in height, 



MRS. WILLARD JACQUES 50c 



1 his is a more deeply colored flow er than Noweta, w hich it 

 resembles in type. It has, however, an overtone of buffy 

 apricot, setting it apart from other pinks. Also, it is a very 

 large flower, with rather long falls and pronounceel crinkling, 



MT. WASHINGTON Each $2.00 



A giant white with the form of Shining Waters, Ver\ tall, 

 wide at the hafts, and broadly flaring, it ranks with the 

 leaders among the new whites. 



MULBERRY ROSE Each $15.00 



Aptly described by the name, this new iris was introduced 

 by Robert Schreiner last year. Very tall stems hold the large 

 self colored blooms well aloft, and the branching is good. 

 A soft and pleasing color, most unusLial, that might be 

 termed a deep pink. 



NARAIN Each 35c 



A silky intense indigo blue, with blue beard on a cream 

 throat but without veinings. Rather early, with immense 

 foliage and very large flowers. One of the best blues at any 

 price 



NARANJA Each 35c ; 3 for 90c 



The first iris of huge size with a definite orange tone. Falls 

 are ochraceous orange, with a yellow heart, and the standards 

 are bright empire yellow, the beard orange yellow. It gives 

 a pronoLincecl orange effect in the garden. See page 14, 



NOONTIDE Each $ 1 . 50 



Referred to by Mr. Thole, the introducer, as his "yellow 

 Depute Nomblot." A very tall and large flowered soliel 

 yellow, w ith an odd overlay of old gold. This is not a dirty 

 yellow, as one might be led to suspect, but a handsome and 

 unusual iris in a much crowded field. A fine grower, it will 

 not disappoint you. 



NOWETA Each 25c ; 3 for 60c 



fhe fluffy ruffled pink that continues in great demand, de- 

 spite the influ.x of newer and larger flowers in this shade. 

 Free blooming, medium in size and height, it is unbeatable 

 as a garden subject. 



OLD PARCHMENT Each $5.00 



A light creamy tan, w ith golden buff overlay, a most unusual 

 color break and a distinctly beautiful new iris. Standards are 

 domed and closed, falls flaring and rather tailored in appear- 

 ance. A perfectly huge bloom, heavy of substance, and the 

 longest lasting variety in our garden A Kleinsorge intro- 

 duction of 1*^3^ that we consider the most outstanding recent 

 ins ne.xt to Prairie Sunset.
