MING YELLOW Each $25.00 



In 1937 and again in 1938 this 

 iris received more attention than 

 any other in Mrs. Pattison's fa- 

 mous garden in Freeport, Illinois. 

 It is a yellow without a fault — 

 clear, rich, smooth without vena- 

 tion, big and slightly waved. 

 Habit of growth similar to Depute 

 Nomblot. Mrs. Pattison herself 

 considers it the most sensational 

 iris she has ever grown and so 

 states in her Quality Gardens 

 catalog. 



MISS CALIFORNIA Each $10.00 



Gigantic lilac pink, with the 

 growing habits of Dauntless, one 

 of the parents. While not the 

 "pinkest" iris, the shade of this 

 one is quite distinct and it surely 

 has every attribute that one could 

 wish for in a perfect flower. It 

 was one of the high spots in the 

 Salbach display garden last 

 spring. Midseason, 48 inches. 



MISSOURI Each $2.00 



Clear, clean blue, of sensation- 

 al size. There has never been 

 sufficient stock to supply the de- 

 mand for this iris, declared by 

 some observers to be the last 

 word in its color. Very few plants. 

 Dykes Medal 1937. 



MME. MAURICE LASSAILLY 



Each $10.00 



The only new iris bearing any 

 resemblance to the American va- 

 riety Amigo. This new one from 

 France has a more pronounced 

 contrast of blue standards and 

 blackish purple falls edged blue. 

 It won the Dykes medal in 1935. 

 The falls are heavy and velvety 

 with edges a bit wavy. Three feet 

 tall. 



ORLOFF 



MODISTE Each $7.50 



The feature iris selected for our cover this year. 

 A beautiful self of pale mauve-blue, much different 

 from other blues and lavenders now available. For 

 three seasons this lovely seedling, actually startling 

 in size, has drawn the attention of iris critics in the 

 Chicago section. In color it is similar to the old and 

 beautiful variety "Mile. Schwartz", but MODISTE is a 

 flower of broad hafts, full rounded shape, and ideal 

 growing habits. Stems are heavy, well branched and 

 around forty inches tall. 



MOHRSON Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Seedling of the famous iris Wm. Mohr. For almost 

 a decade hybridizers have been trying to secure 

 seedlings from this strange and enchanting flower, 

 and at last we are able to offer two. Mohrson is much 



taller than its parent, of a deep violet color, very 

 heavily veined still darker. H. M. AIS 1935. 



MONADNOCK Each $8.00 



We saw this iris put out its first bloom stalk in the 

 Salbach garden in 1936, and immediately looked for- 

 ward to its eventual introduction. A flower of tre- 

 mendous size, solid bright rose-red in color, a seed- 

 ling of Marquita. Quite late, over 40 inches tall. 



MOONGLO Each $1.50 



Very lovely and unusual blend of heavy sub- 

 stance. Standards are pale yellow, falls the same 

 flushed Chinese violet. One admirer says "the 

 golden glow of the moon all tangled up with the 

 rosy clouds of sunset." Large flowers, ivory-like tex- 

 ture. A new Longfield novelty highly recommended.
