LEADING LADY (Lyell, 1950) Each $2.50 



A perky and lightly ruffled flower with bright pa]e yellow standards and 

 creamy white falls edged yellow. A great favorite with all visitors as it 

 makes a stunning clump. HM AIS, 1950. 



LIGHTS ON (Lapham, 1946) Each $1.50 



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



LILAC LANE (Whiting, 1947) Each $3.50 



Pink-toned lilac self, not a pink but a very delicate mauve color of heavy 

 substance. Beard is very pale yellow. There are few, if any, modern 

 Iris which resemble this one in color tone. We regard it as one of the 

 loveliest new things and among Mrs. Whiting's best. Slightly ruffled, 

 very refined in effect, 3 feet tall. HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1951. 



LIMELIGHT (Hall, 1952) Each $10.00 



A canary-yeflow to greenish yellow Chantilly, very much larger than 

 that famous ruffled and frilled member of the pink strain. It is a Sunray 

 seedling, all yellow with a lighter area on the falls. One of the most 

 novel Iris we have ever grown and one of the most beautiful as well. 

 The lace- like blossoms are produced on 35-inch stems. (Seedling No. 

 49-16y 2 ). HM AIS, 1952. See page 49. 



LOTHARIO (Schreiner, 1942) Each $1.00 



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 48. 



LOUVOiS (Cayeux, 1936) Each 60c, 3 for $1.50 



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 il- 

 lustrated on page 37. Big flowers, medium height. HM AIS, 1939. 



LOVELIGHT (Kleinsorge, 1951) Each $4.00 



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.
