MING YELLOW (Glutzbeck, 1938) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A yellow wtlhout a fault; clear, ricli, smooth without venation, big and 

 slightly waved. Lighter in tone than Golden Majesty and much earlier. 

 Wide petals, very bright yellow beard. HM AIS, 1938; AM, 1941. Very 

 few plants this season. 



MINNIE COLQUITT (H. Sass, 1942) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



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 niffled. A thoroughly fine Iris in every way, and a husky grower. 

 HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1945. See page 25. 



MINUET (Kleinsorge, 1949) Each $5.00 



A heavily ruffled and fluted blend, predominantly old gold in color but 

 with falls of delicate lavender-blue bordered with old gold. The finely 

 netted haft is soft brown, the beard very rich orange. Parentage is 

 Chamois x Cascade Splendor and the form of Minuet very closely re- 

 sembles this latter parent. 40 inches tall, medium branching. 



MISS CALIFORNIA {Salbach, 1936) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Gigantic lilac-pink; one of the most satisfactory varieties we have ever 

 grown. It makes great fans of purple-tinted foliage, producs a wealth 

 of 4-foot stalks of great pink-toned blooms that last over a very long 

 period. Does equally well in all parts of the country. HM AIS, 1938. 

 Shown on page 31. 



MISTY GOLD (Schreiner, 1943) Each $1.00 



A lovely gold-spangled, lemon-colored Iris, lemon toned and gold braided. 

 Petals are ruffled and fluted, lacy and brilliant. Tliree feet tall; slender, 

 well branched stems. An unusual and beautiful flower. HM AIS, 1945. 

 See page 35. 



MOLTEN (Craig, 1950) Each $10.00 



A big rich self of light burnt sienna, rose and golden oclire, with a small 

 violet blaze. Its parentage, Prairie Sunset and Sultan's Robe, gives a 

 hint of the magnificent tones inherent in this flower. 34 inches. 



MOON GODDESS (Craig, 1949) Each $7.50 



Large pale wistaria of broad, perfectly ruffled form and thick texture. 

 At the tip of the pale cream beard is a small white accent and the color 

 around it is a little deeper than the rest of the flower. 36 inches tall. 



MOONLIGHT SONATA (Stever^s, 1946) Each $6.00 



A remarkable yellow, first because it is a soft luminous yellow to sul- 

 phur tone, unlike such things as Elsa Sass or Moonlight Madonna. It 

 seems to have more green in it, even though the introducer calls it a clear 

 "lime" yellow without green ! 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 three feet. 



MULBERRY ROSE (Schreiner, 1941) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Aptly described by the name, this new 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 term- 

 ed a deep pinkish mulberry, strongly shaded brown. The heavy bronze 

 beard is an added asset. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1944. Shown on pages 17 

 and 26. 



NANKEEN (Whiting, 1947) Each $3.00 



Clear, cool Chinese yellow enlivened by soft rays of chrome-yellow 

 smoothly spread over the whole flower. Massive in size but well pro- 

 portioned and carried on tall well-branched stalks. Stays fresh and 

 attractive in all kinds of weather. A radiant Iris for garden effect and 

 will attract much comment when exhibited. 



Casa hAorena 



MOROCCO ROSE (Loomis, 1937) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



A very large rose-pink self with yellow glow at the heart and brownish 

 cast about the haft. Still ranks among the best pinks and pleases all who 

 buy it. Unlike many Iris in this color class, Morocco Rose is a truly big 

 flower. Always in heavy demand. 



NATIONAL WHITE (Weed, 1944) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A spectacular pure white Iris that is a giant in every way. The huge 

 flowers have extra broad falls, well shaped, and the widely branched 

 stalks reach over four feet in height. One of the very best new whites 

 and it will make a good run for largest bloom in any show. 



MRS. DOUGLAS PATTISON (Craig, 1950) 



Each $15.00 



Says the introducer, "Altogether the most l>eautiful clear medium blue 

 Iris I have ever seen. A perfect self of cornflower-blue without haft mark- 

 ings." 36 inches tall. Fragrant. We have heard many compliments for 

 this flower, named for one of Irisdom's most famous and best beloved 

 critics. HM AIS, 1951. 



MT. McKINLEY (Schreiner, 1947) Each $2.00 



Derived from Amigo crossed with Wabash, about midway between these 

 two color tones. Early blooming and tall, the standards opening pale blue 

 and fading to cool white. Falls are deep purple edged with pale blue and 

 .with a brownish haft devoid of veinings. Better and lower branched than 

 the famous Wabash. 



NEW HORIZON (Fay, 1946) Each $3.00 



Close to true peach coloring — not pink but the delectable tint of peach 

 ice cream! Standards are a bit deeper than the falls. There are no 

 haft markings of note and the beard is fiery tangerine. From the same 

 breeding lines as the flamingo-pinks. Three feet or over in height and of 

 good size and fine form. HM AIS, 1947. 



NEW SNOW (Fay, 1946) Each $3.00 



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

 new snow. The beard is full and bright yellow, adding a great deal of 

 life. This is the only color in the flower, as there are no haft veinings or 

 markings. Stalk is sturdy and well branched. 40 inches tall, the big 

 flowers very much ruffled and flaring. One of the world's best white 

 Irises. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1948. See page 43.
