LOS ANGELES (Mohr-Mitchell, 1927) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



A beautiful whitte 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 iti great distinction. AM, AIS, 1944. 



LYNN LANGFORD (Hall, 1946) Each $3.00 



Orchid-pink in a deep tint, with golden yellow center. There is no vein- 

 ing to detract from the general orchid coloring except that the beard is 

 golden yellow. Flowers are large, very flaring in form, produced on stout, 

 3-foot stems. HM AIS, 1946; y\M, 1950. 



LOUISE BLAKE (Smith, 1943) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



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. 



LOUVOIS (Cayeux, 1936) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Brown, deep, rich and velvety, like the lustrous fur of an animal. Breed- 

 ers are still trying to attain an Iris that will be an improvement on this 

 distinct French creation. Done in two shades of chocolate, it is well illus- 

 trated on page 31. Big flowers, medium height. HM AIS, 1939. 



LOVELIGHT (Kleinsorge, 1951) Each $10.00 



Delicate pastel blend of pink and pearl, daintily ruffled at the edges. The 

 throat has some fine golden webbing and the beard is bright yellow. A 

 frosty sheen covers the entire blossom. Perfect full rounded form, flar- 

 ing slightly. 3 feet tall. 



Bryce Canyon 



MAJENICA (Cook, 1941) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Distinct new pinkish blend with a tinge of salmon. This is a pleasing 

 flower in every way with wide-petaled standards and falls; full, rounded 

 and huge in size. Less pink and more orange than Eros, but a somewhat 

 similar color effect. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1943. 



MARATHON (Whiting, 1948) Each $2.50 



Rich and smooth blending of apricot, buff and rufous orange — a glowing 

 color in the garden. It is of moderate height and size, wide form and 

 heavy substance. The vigorous free blooming plants make it a garden 

 show piece. 



MARION VAUGHN (Smith, 1947) ' Each $5.00 



Standards of soft lemon ice, frosted. The falls, including the beard, are 

 of the same color with a white flush below the beard. Both standards and 

 falls are delightfully ruffled or fluted. A slight greenish cast gives it an 

 especially fresh, cool and crisp appearance. Medium height. 



MARQUITA (Cayeux, 1931) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



A well named Iris in brilliant ivory-yellow, with orchraceous maroon 

 veinings on the falls. Glorious ivory standards, deepening to sulphur at 

 the base. Falls same color, but entirely lined maroon. Never enough slock 

 to go around. AM AIS, 1936. 



MASTER CHARLES (Williamson, 1943) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Rich and glowing mulbeiry-purple, with definite charm and flare to tiiie 

 form. Standards are true purple, with blackish sheen blending to brown 

 at the base. Falls the same color blended brown at the haft. Beard mul- 

 berry-purple tipped brown. Brilliant and distinctive, it is undoubtedly 

 one of the finest of Longfield introductions. HM AIS, 1944; AM, 194^. 



MATTERHORN (J. Sass, 1938) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Pure white; large but delicate in apearance. Even the beard is white. 

 Three feet in height, with slender, well branched stems and many flow- 

 ers widely spaced. Unmatched for purity of color and will please any- 

 one who is looking for the best white at a reasonable price. HM AIS, 

 1938; AM, 1940. 



MELITZA (Nesmlth, 1940) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Pale ivory-flesh, particularly effective in dull weather. Much of the un- 

 usual color effect of this Iris is derived from the fiery tangerine-orange 

 beard. No Iris that we have ever grown has increased so rapidly and it 

 in at its best on a two-year clump. Height 36 te 40 inches. Shown in 

 color on page 29. HM AIS, 1940 ; AM, 1942. 



MELODIST (Deforest, 1946) Each $2.50 



A henna-colored blend on gold ground. The salmon and rose tones of 

 Salar blended with the golden brown of Tobacco Road, its parents. 38 

 inches. HM AIS, 1947. 



MELODY LANE (Hall, 1949) 



Each $7.50 



Bright glistening golden apricot, although it came from two flamingo- 

 pink seedlings. The color is most attractive and new, witJi great carry- 

 ing power in the garden. Many of these new shades crop out in the off- 

 spring from pink parents. The flowers are very large with some ruffling, 

 good form and a heavy brilliant tangerine beard. Early, with 36-inch 

 stems. HM AIS, 1950. 



MELLOWGLOW (Whiting, 1942) Each $2.00 



Deep peach or apricot, with a flush of pink. A highly ruffled and per- 

 fectly formed Iris, with very broad and rounded standards and falls. The 

 beard is extra heavy and extends far down the fall. HM AIS, 1942. 



MEXICO (K/emsorge, 1943) Each $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 buff. 

 A perfectly gigantic flower, with the falls slightly crinkled and waved 

 at the edges. A blend rather than a variegata. Very late. HM AIS, 1944.
