MELODY LANE (Hall, '49) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Bright glistening golden apricot, altliough it came from two llamingo- 

 pink seedlings. The color is most attractive and new, with great 

 carrying power in the garden. Many of these new shades crop out in 

 the offspring from pink parents. The flowers are \ery large with 

 some ruffling, good form and a heavy brilliant tangerine beard. Early, 

 with: 36-inch stems. HM MS. 1950: AM, 1952. See page 33. 



MEXICO (Kleinsorge, '43) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Gay and brilliant, a blended bicolor of buff golden standards and 

 broad, plush-like falls of glowing red-brown, bordered and blended 

 golden buflf. A perfectly gigantic flower, with the falls slightly crin- 

 kled and waved at the edges. A blend rather than a variegata. Very 

 late. HM AIS, 1944. 



MINNIE COLQUITT (H. Sass, '42) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Massive white plicata, entirely different from all others. It has a 

 broad band of wine-purple stitching at the edges of the enormous 

 flaring falls, and this same color is repeated in the standards. The 

 whole flower is slightly ruffled. A thoroughly fine Iris in every way, 

 and a husky grower. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1945. See page 39. 



MOONLIGHT SONATA (Sfevens, '46) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A remarkable yellow first because it is a soft luminous yellow to 

 sulphur tone. Petals are finely notched at the edges and the beard 

 is the same color as the rest of the flower. Very distinct and good. 

 Height just under 3 feet. See page 31. 



MORNING BRIGHT (Cook, '51) Each $1.50 



Bright cream and rose bicolor or in some lights, cream and salmon. 

 Standards cream tinted pink, falls creamy old rose; deeper rose in the 

 central portions. It is most vigorous as a plant, with robust stems 

 and flowers of extra large size. Height 40 in. HM AIS, 1952. Pictured 

 on page 13. 



MOULIN ROUGE (Tompkins, '54) Each $3.50 



Very deep red with a purjjle overlay, hard to describe. This new Iris 

 appealed to us as something really different among the dark reds. 

 34 inches. HM AIS. 1954. 



MULBERRY ROSE (Schreiner, '41) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



Aptly described by tiie name, this Iris is actually something new 

 and different in coloring. Very tall stems hold the self-colored blooms 

 well aloft, and the branching is good. Most unusual in color, it 

 might be termed a deep pinkish mulberry, strongly shaded brown. 

 The heavy bronze beard is an added asset. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1944. 



MY HONEYCOMB (Gibson, '59) Each $17.50 



A molasses and honey blended plicata of great size and excellent 

 branching, embracing the cjuality of Taholah, one of its parents, in 

 a taller and flashing combination of colors. The illustration on page 

 53 shows what to expect ... a giant Firecracker, deeper, richer 

 and with twice the stem of this fine old favorite. Height 36-38 inches. 



NATIVE DANCER (Fay, '54) Each $3.50 



Peach-pink, the beard bright tangerine. Notable for the great quan- 

 tity of flowers borne on each stem, often up to twelve blooms on the 

 main stem. Wide hafts and semi-flaring falls, the standards closed. 

 38 inches in height. HM AIS, 1955; AM, 1957. 



NEW SNOW (Fay, '46) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A white Iris which is neither a warm nor a cold white but is as white 

 as new snow. The beard is full and light yellow, adding a great dea 

 of life. This is the only color in the flower, as there are no 

 haft veinings or markings. Stalk is sturdy and well branch- 

 ed, 40 inches tall, the big flowers very much ruffled and 

 flaring. One of the world's best white Iris. HM AIS, 1946; 

 AM, 1948. See page 42. 



NIGHT 'N DAY (DeForesf, '55) Each $9.00 



Standards are pale Hortense violet, almost white, the falls 

 broad and flaring; a smooth deep violet overlaid velvety 

 black. Beard is rich yellow. One of the very finest in this 

 now popular and striking color combination. 36 inches in 

 height; large flowers. 



NOMOHR (Gibson, '55) Each $4.00 



An odd shade of wax-yellow, described as "bamboo-cream." This is 

 from a cross of Snow Flurry and Elmohr and the very large flowers 

 show their onco parentage. The substance is very thick and heavy, 

 the large blooms beautifully formed. HM AIS, 1956. 40 inches in 

 height. See page 15.
