MINNIE COLQUITT 



SOLID MAHOGANY 



LADY MOHR (Salbach, 1944) Each $10.00 



A new and altogether different addition to the interesting Wm. 

 Mohr family of Iris, this one brings a color combination previously 

 unknown in the tall bearded group. Standards are oyster-white, 

 huge ond slightly fluted, with strong midribs. Falls are pale char- 

 treuse or greenish yellow, with prominent veining. There is a very 

 prominent dark patch surrounding the beard. Lady Mohr was the 

 center of interest in our garden last season, where some of the 

 stolks reached four feet in height and carried several open blooms 

 atone time HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1946. See page 25. 



LADY OF SHALOTT (Schreiner, 1942) Each $2.50 



Precisely formed and lacily frilled, a charming and delicately 

 colored pink Plicata. Standards are heavily flushed rose-pink and 

 the falls are edged with a peppering of minute pinkish dots. 34 

 inches tall. 



LAKE BREEZE (Fay, 1945) Each $8.00 



A seedling of Gloriole, with much of its charm and frosty pale blue 

 tone. Lake Breeze is heavily ruffled, the falls flaring and wide 

 with no haft markings. A bit deeper in color than Gloriole, slightly 

 larger, the stems carrying nine to eleven flowers. Three feet tall. 

 HM AIS, 1945. 



LAKE SHANNON (DeForest, 1945) Each $10.00 



A mighty close approach to bright indigo-blue. There are many 

 fine new blue Irises coming into commerce but this is the bluest 

 one we have seen. Practically a self, with fluted standards and 

 falls. An odd feature about this iris is the deeper veins running 

 the length and breadth of the falls. Beard uniformly blue, shading 

 to orange within the flower. 36 inches, well branched. HM AIS, 

 1946. 



LIGHTHOUSE (Salbach, 1936) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



This bright rose blend is one of the most sought after Iris we grow. 

 Standards are a blend of rose and yellow; falls coppery old rose, 

 with a very bright beard and glowing center. Perfectly hardy, rapid 

 increaser; an Iris that is certain to add life to your planting. 

 HM AIS, 1937; AM, 1940. 



LIGHTS ON (Lapham, 1946) Each $10.00 



A new claimant for the title of reddest Iris. It is more of o self 

 than Red Gleam, with even less of the brown in its makeup. Well 

 shaped, with solid unveined hafts, velvety falls and vivid color. 

 30 to 36 inches in height. HM AIS, 1946. 



LORD DONGAN (Smith, 1940) Each $3.00 



A stunning creation with broad standards of Chinese violet and 

 extra velvety falls of deepest Pansy-violet, set off with a very 

 thick, intense, pale yellow beard. HM AIS, 1940. 



LORI MAY (DeForest, 1941) Each $1.50 



Harmonious Daphne-pink; a genuine find in the popular pink 

 class. This Iris has very thick petals, excellent flaring form, and 

 is especially fine as a clump. Good sized blooms, very close to 

 true pink. HM AIS, 1944. 



LOS ANGELES (Mohr-Mitchell, 1 927) Each 40c; 3 for $1.00 



A beautiful white 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 it great distinction. 

 AM AIS, 1944. 



LAMPLIGHT (Schreiner, 1944) Each $5.00 



A tranquil blend of flesh, buff and copper, with lamplight glow. 

 Lighter in tone than what is generally referred to as salmon, and 

 deeper than apricot. Well substanced, a smoothly blended self. 



LATE SUN (DeForest, 1940) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A big bold solid yellow which has received high praise in all parts 

 of the country. Flowers measure 6 inches, petals ore thick and 

 heavy, and of a uniform deep yellow color. Strong growing, with 

 tall stalks and rampant foliage. Perfectly hardy, about 40 inches 

 tall. HM AIS, 1942. 



LOTHARIO (Schreiner, 1942) Each $5.00 



An Amigo-type Amoena; very rich and velvety, much taller than 

 the famous Amigo and with flowers of great size. Contrast in 

 color is not as sharply defined as in the case of its predecessor but 

 it is a magnificent Iris. Stock is extremely scarce. HM AIS, 1945. 

 See page 27. 



LOUISE BLAKE (Smith, 1943) Each $7.50 



Of the Amigo type, with pale sky-blue standards and velvety blue- 

 purple falls edged sky-blue. Lighter in color than Amigo, other- 

 wise quite similar. HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1947.
