MME. MAURICE LASSAILLY 



Each $20.00 



While we have not seen this iris 

 at the time our catalog is written, it 

 would appear that it somewhat re- 

 sembles the American variety 

 Amigo, being bluer, perhaps. This 

 new French sort won the Dykes 

 medal in 1935, and is described as 

 having flax blue standards and 

 violet falls edged lavender. Three 

 feet tall. Few plants. 



MAGENTA Each 25c; 3 for 50c 



Very deep amethyst-violet, a 

 shade not comparable to any other 

 iris. Very free blooming, with flow- 

 ers better than average size. This 

 is another variety which makes a 

 grand showing on a two-year 

 clump, and especially when plant- 

 ed adjacent to pink or yellow. 



MARCO POLO Each $7.50 



For several years we have 

 heard of the spectacular red seed- 

 lings grown by Robert Schreiner in 

 St. Paul. In 1936 he introduced 

 two of them — Marco Polo and Beo- 

 wulf. This one is the more brilliant 

 red of the two, with lustrous rose 

 standards and vivid crimson vel- 

 vety red falls. There is no venation 

 on the haft and a bright orange 

 beard contributes a touch of high 

 color. 



MARQUITA Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



A well named iris in brilliant 

 ivory yellow, with ochraceous ma- 

 roon veinings on the falls. The 

 standards are ivory deepening to 

 sulphur at the base, and so large 

 that they constitute the major por- 

 tion of the flower. Falls are of the 

 same color, but entirely lined ma- 

 roon. This very late novelty was 

 one of the two or three most popu- 

 lar things among our visitors last 

 season. 



MARY GEDDES 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.00 



In the forefront of American in- 

 troductions during the past two or 

 three seasons, and for that matter, 

 one of the finest and most distinct 

 irises of all time. The color is light 

 ochraceous salmon, the falls 

 stained deeper. In our garden it 

 has always exhibited four-way 

 branching habit, and is one of our 

 longest lasting varieties. Very little 

 stock available anywhere in the 

 country. Awarded an A. M. at 

 Wisley, England, in 1933. Dykes 

 Medal, 1936.
