MAYTIME (Whiting, '50) Each $5.00 



Two tones of bright orchid-pink. This is one of Mrs. Whiting's best— a hand- 

 somely formed full flower with lots of color. There is a definite contrast in 

 the color of standards and falls, making it a near amoena. 36 inches. HM 

 AIS, 1950; AM, 1953. 



MELODY LANE (Hall, '49) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Bright glistening golden apricot, although it came from two flamingo-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 very large with some ruffling, good fonn and a heavy 

 brilliant tangerine beard. Early, with 36-inch stems. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 

 1952. See page 11. 



MELLOWGLOW (Whiiing, '42) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



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

 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 (Kleinsorge, '43) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



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 per- 

 fectly gigantic flower, with the falls slightly crinkled and waved at the edges. 

 A blend rather than a variegata. Very late. HM AIS, 1944. See page 36. 



MINNIE COLQUITT (H. Sass, '42) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



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 huskv grower. HM AIS, 1943; 

 AM, 1945. See page 38. 



MINUET (Kleinsorge, '49) Each $2.50 



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 vei^y closely resembles this latter parent. 

 40 inches tall, medium branching. 



MISTY GOLD (Schreiner, '43) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



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

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

 branched stems. An unusual and beautiful flower. HM AIS, 1945. See page 41. 



MOLTEN (Craig, '50) Each $3.00 



A big rich self of light burnt sienna, rose and golden ochre, 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 in. 



EXTRAVAGANZA 



MOONLIGHT SONATA (Stevens, '46) Each $1.00 



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

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

 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. See page 32. 



MORNING BRIGHT fCoo/c, '5?; Each $4.00 



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 inches. HM AIS, 1952. 



MRS. DOUGLAS PATTISON (Craig, '50) Each $1.50 



Lovely cornflower-blue .self of beautiful form. The flowers are large 

 and have a smooth, enamel-like finish. Semi-flaring with well domed
