LITTLE DOLLY (Hall, '61) 20" Each $2.00 



An intensely colored, medium size, brilliant true pink. Slender of 

 stem, reaching a height of about 20 inches, it is loaded with flowers 

 and lasts and lasts. This has found enthusiastic acceptance in Median 

 Iris circles. HM AIS, 1962. See page 32. 



LORNA LEE (Gibson, '66) EM. 40" Each $5.00 



A true pink, produced on hea\ y stalks reaching up to four feet, well 

 branched and with so many flowers per stem that it blooms for almost 

 three weeks. Blossoms are very large, the falls wide and horizontally 

 held, with tangerine beard. Grand champion and winner of the 

 Premio Firenze Medal in Italy in 1965. Shown on page 46. HM AIS, 

 1967. 



LORNA LYNN (Plough, '61) ML. 35" Each $1.00 



This is a lucious blend of salmon, pink and apricot. The large flowers 

 are flaring and there is a yellow flush below the bright Saturn-red 

 beard. \'ery long blooming season. HM AIS, 1963. 



LOVELY LETTY (Hall, '60) EM. Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



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

 tall, with many flowers. \'ery flaring falls, standing almost horizontal 

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

 the fiery beard. HM AIS, 1961. See page 25. 



LOVELY LIGHT (Tompkins, '64) ML. 36" Each $3.50 



Richest orange-apricot in color and one of the very best of the new 

 ones in this popular color group. The smooth and handsomely fash- 

 ioned big blossoms are solidly colored and the beard is bright tan- 

 gerine. A winner at Florence, Italy in 1965. HM AIS, 1965. 



LUCY LEE (Gibson, '60) M. 36" Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Clean sparkling white with bright red-violet stitching; of a size and 

 quality that sets a new standard in plicatas of this color combination. 

 It is very large, the stems tall and fully branched and it produces 

 an abundance of bloom. The beard is light yellow on a gleaming 

 white haft. HM AIS, 1961. 



LUNAR FIRE (Hall, '63) M. 36" Each $2.50 



Featured in color on page 30 ... 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 heavv 

 thickness and very stout well branched stems. HM AIS, 1964. 



LUSTY SONG (Gibson, '66) ML. 36" Each $3.50 



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. As distinct from other red or wine patterned plicatas 

 as Siva-Siva is singular in its field. Large, 36 inches, ideally branched. 

 Shown on page 16. 



LYNN HALL (Hall, '57) M. 36" Each $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 .\IS, 1957; AM, 1959. See page 33. 



MAD MAID (Gibson, '66) M. 34" Each $3.00 



One of the tasks encountered in trying to describe these novel plicatas 

 is that of finding adequate words. So when we say that Mad Maid 

 has reddish-tan standards, and white ground falls bordered copper 

 which shades into reddish-brown markings, let us assure you that it 

 really is different, and good! HM AIS, 1967. 



MARGARITA (Schreiner, '68) ML. 37" Each $12.00 



This is a rather startling and unique new Iris with crystal white 

 standards and contrasting falls of sumptuous, velvety blue-purple. 

 Entirely different from such things as the old ^Vabash or Gaylord 

 type, a huge flower with wide petals and graceful ruffling. The beard 

 is practically white. HM AIS, 1969. 



MARIE PHILLIPS (Jell, '63) ML. 36" Each $2.00 



A complete self of light \\'isteria 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 AIS, 1964; AM, 1966. See page 17. 



MARRIOTT (Marriotf, '59) M. 30" Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A novel shade of pale blue, sort of dove colored, with a striking blue 

 beard. Sleek finish and flaring form add to the attractiveness of this 

 unique Iris. HM AIS, 1961. 



MARTEL (Tell, '62) ML. 36" Each $2.00 



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. One of Tell's best and it flowers rather late. HM AIS, 

 1963; AM, 1965 



MATINATA (Schreiner, '68) ML. 39" Each $1 0.00 



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 AIS, 1969. 



MAUVE MAGIC (E. Smiih, '63) ML. 40" Each $2.00 



Lovely, tall and \ery lacy mauve pink, from Limelight crossed with 

 Happy Birthday. Falls, standards and style arms all have lace and the
