Happy Birthday 



LADY MOHR (Salbach, 1944) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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 chartreuse or greenish yellow, 

 with prominent veining. There is a very prominent dark patch surround- 

 ing the beard. Lady Mohr was the center of interest in our garden last 

 season, where some of the stalks reached 4 feet in height and carried 

 several open booms at one time. HM AIS. 1944; AM, 1946. Shown on 

 pages 23 and 27. 



LAKE GEORGE (K. Smith, 1945) Each $1.00 



When this violet-blue Iris was introduced it was announced as possibly 

 the "bluest" of all. A parent of Blue Valley, it still maintains a claim 

 to this distinction. Self colored, the standards roundly domed, the falls 

 broad and flaring straight out. There are no haft markings and the beard 

 is pale yellow tipped blue at the end. Medium height, a rapid increaser. 



LAVENDER AND GOLD LACE (Whiting, 1946) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A charmingly different Iris with golden yellow standards flushed laven- 

 der and with crimped edges. Falls are lavender bordered with a distinct 

 frill of gold lace work. Strong, hardy plants producing generous bloom 

 and increase. Three feet tall. 



LIGHTHOUSE (Salbach," 1936) Each 50c ; 3 for $1.25 



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. 



LIGHTS ON (Lapham, 1946) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A new claimant for the title of reddest Iris. It is more of a self than Red 

 Gleam, with even less of the brown in its makeup. Well shaped, with 

 solid unveined hafts, velvety falls and vivid color. 30 to 36 inches in 

 height. HM AIS, 1946. 



LILAC LANE (Whiting, 1947) Each $5.00 



Pink-toned lilac self, not a pink but a very delicate mauve color of heavy 

 substance. Beard is very pale yellow. There are few, if any, modern Iris 

 which resemble this one in color tone. We regard it as one of the loveliest 

 new things and among Mrs. Whiting's best. Slightly ruffled, very refined 

 in effect. 3 feet tall. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1951. 



LIMELIGHT (Hall, 1952) Each $15.00 



A canary-yellow to greenish yellow Chantilly, very much larger than 

 that famous ruffled and frilly member of the pink strain. It is a Sunray 

 seedling, all yellow with a lighter area on the falls. One of the most 

 novel Iris we have ever grown and one of the most beautiful as well. 

 The lace-like blossoms are produced on 35-inch stems. (Seedling No. 

 49-I6V2). HM AIS, 1952. See page 11. 



LOS ANGELES (Mohr-Mitchell, 7927J Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



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. 



LOTHARIO (Schreiner, 1942) Each $1.00 



An Amigo-type Amoena; 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. See page 44. 



LOUISE BLAKE (Smith, 1943) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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

 falls edged sky-blue. Lighter in color than Amigo, otherwise quite simi- 

 lar. HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1947.
