 beard. Very long blooming season. HM '63. 



LOVELY LETTY (Hall, '60) EM. $1 .00 



Bright violet-blue with \ery brilliant tangerine 

 beard, 30-32 inches tall, with many flowers. Very 

 flaring falls, standing almost horizontal— a fine 

 feature for an Iris of medium height. Self colored 

 except for the fiery beard, HM, '61. 



LOVE WITH LACE (Plough, '77; ML. 36" $17.50 



Delicate light pink self, with ruffled, closed and 

 lacy standards. Falls are ruffled, fluted and heavily

 pink tip. Large flowers well branched and very 

 appealing. Shown on page 5.

 branched. HM, '72. Shown on page 4. 



LUNAR FIRE (Hall, '63) M. 36" $1 .50 



Featured in color on page 44 ... a big, spreading, lace-edged flower 

 of golden amber hues, the sharply contrasting beard a blazing tan- 

 gerine red. In addition to form and size it has petals of extra heavy 

 thickness and very stout well branched stems. HM, '64. 



LUSTY SONG (Gibson, '66) ML. 36" $2.00 



A unique shade of Burgundy on white, the falls very squarely held, 

 thick in substance, with just a narrow band of bright Burgundy. The

 band on the falls. Large, ideally branched. Shown on page 34. 



LYNN HALL (Hall, '57) M. 36" $1 .50

 and increases vigorously. HM, '57; AM, '59. See page 51 . 



MAD MAID (Gibson, '66) M. 34" $2.00 



A novel plicata that has reddish-tan standards, and white ground 

 falls bordered copper, which shades into reddish-brown markings. 

 Really different and good! HM, '67. Shown on page 34. 



MARGARITA (Schreiner, '68) ML. 37" $3.50 



This is a rather startling and unique new Iris with crystal white 

 standards and contrasting falls of sumptuous, velvety blue-purple. 

 Entirely different from such things as the old Wabash or Gaylord 

 type, a huge flower with wide petals and graceful ruflling. The beard 

 is practically white. HM, '69; AM '74. See page 18. 



MARIE PHILLIPS (Tell, '63) ML. 36" $1 .50 



A complete self of light Wisteria violet, an enchanting shade hard to 

 describe. Beard is the same color. The nearest thing to this is Lilac 

 Festival, which is somewhat lighter. Domed standards and flaring 

 falls, lightly ruffled. HM, '64; AM, '66. See page 36. 



MARTINIQUE (B. Jones, '70) M. 34" $2.50

 tipped amethyst. Plenty of ruffles with excellent form. Vigorous 

 grower. HM, 72. 



MARY FRANCES (Gaulter, '73) M. 38" $1 7.50 



This is a lovely light blue-orchid self with white-centered falls. It has 

 a white beard lightly touched with yellow. The falls are wide and 

 nicely flaring with standards closing gently in a round, wavy top. Tall 

 with good branching and a long season of bloom. The hybridizer 

 considers this his finest seedling. HM, '74. Shown on page 4. 



MATIN ATA (Schreiner, '68) ML. 39" $5.00 



Absolute perfection in a dark, violet-black Iris. This is a complete 

 self, including the beard. Classic in form, the standards upright and 

 closed, the falls very broad and velvety and devoid of haft markings, 

 a robust flower. 7 to 9 buds to the stem. HM, '69; AM, '71.
