MIDWEST GEM (H. Sass, 1937) Each 50c; 3 for ^1.25 



Bright golden apricot, more bufF than yellow, with a faint cast of pink 

 over the falls. Immense in stalk and flower, it is particularly attractive 

 because of the odd crimped petals. HM ATS, 1937. 



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



A yellow without a fault; clear, rich, smooth without venation, big 

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

 earlier. Wide petals, \eiy bright yellow beard. HM AIS, 1938: AM, 

 1941. Shown in color on page 21. 



MINNIE COLQUITT (H. Sass, 1942) Each ^3.00 



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 husky grower. HM AIS. 1943 ; AM. 194.5. See page 32. 



MISS CALIFORNIA (Snlbach, 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-tinged foliage, produces 

 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. 



MISSOURI (Grinter, 1933) Each 50c; 3 for ^1.25 



A famous clear blue that won the Dykes Medal in 1937. Color is 

 especially fine when afforded light shade from the afternoon sun. Sells 

 out every year. 



MISTY GOLD (Schreiner, 1943) Each ^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 18. 



MME. LOUIS AUREAU (Cayeux, 1934) Each 40c 



This heavily dotted and sanded Plicata from France has a ground 

 color of silvery white, closely netted with rosy heliotrope. Very large, 

 very early, medium height. AM AIS. 1939. 



MOLLY MAY (DeForest, 1944) Each ^L50 



Large cream-pink blend with falls slightly deeper than the standards, 

 and still deeper coloring at the haft. Orange beard and yellow style 

 arms. Standards are perfectly huge, firmly held upright and closed 

 at the top. Height 3 feet. 



MONADNOCK (Salbach, 1937) Each 75c; 3 for ^2.00 



Very brilliant pinkish rose, a large flower that blooms very late in 

 the season. We have no other Iris in this shade — a deep but very 

 bright tone of rose with golden beard. Husky stems reach four feet, 

 well branched. 



MOONLIGHT MADONNA (J. Sass, 1943) Each ^2.00 

 Of the same shade of lemon-ice as Elsa Sass, with larger flowers and 

 flaring form. Self colored, it is the lemon-toned Iris we have been 

 looking for. Tall and sturdy, a rapid increaser. HM AIS. 1943; 

 AM, 1945.
