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

 HM AIS, 1943; AM, 1945. See page 31. 



MINUET (Kleitnsorge, 1949) Each $3.50 



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 very closely re- 

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

 at right below. 



MISTY GOLD (Schreiner, 1943) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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 33. 



MOLTEN (Craig, 1950) " Each $5.00 



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 inches. 



MOONLIGHT SONATA Stevens, 1946) Each $3.00 



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. See page 15. 



MORNING BLUE (Jory, 1948) Each $2.50 



Massive onco-blue, with typical veinings of deeper color. As .large as Lady Mohr 

 and of similar growing habits. Well branched. 40 inches tall. 



MORNING BRIGHT (Cook, 1951) Each $8.00 



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. 



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. See 

 page 32.

MISS CALIFORNIA (Salbach, 1936) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



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

 It makes great fans of purple-tinted 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. Shown on page 37.
