JANE PHILLIPS 



MARRIOTT (Marriott, '59) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A novel shade of pale blue, sort of dove colored, with a striking 

 blue beard. Sleek finish and flaring form add to the attractiveness 

 of this unique Iris. 30 inches. HM AIS, 1961. See page 41. 



MARTEL (Tell, '62) Each $3.50 



A deep and rich sultry blend of red, maroon and violet with a yel- 

 low beard. Width of petals, smoothness, substance and ruffling add 

 to its high quality. One of Tell's best and it flowers rather late. 



36 inches. HM AIS, 1963; AM, 1965. 



MAUVE MAGIC (E. Smith, '63) Each $3.00 



Lovely, tall and very lacy mauve pink, from Limehght crossed 

 with Happy Birthday. Falls, standards and style arms all have lace 

 and the beard is bright tangerine. 40 inches. 



MAUVE MINK ^Ha//, '67; Each $2.00 



This is pretty much a self — a bewitching shade of rosy lilac and a 

 hint of blue — paling to an almost white area about the haft, in 

 sharp contrast to the red-orange beard. Note the opulence of the 

 ruffled standards and the breadth of the spreading falls. Flowers 

 are large in size, produced on stout 3-foot, well branched stalks. 

 Shown on page 20. HM AIS, 1962. 



MAY MELODY (Hamblen, '65) Each $7.50 



Standards are yellow, flushed pink; falls clean white, bordered 

 deeper yellow. The beard is heavy and of a fiery red-orange. Falls 

 are ruffled and flaring. HM AIS, 1966. 



MAYTIME (Whifrng, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Two tones of bright orchid-pink. A handsomely formed full flower 

 with lots of color. There is a definite contrast in color of standards 

 and falls, making it a near amoena. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1950; .\M, 

 1953. 



MELODRAMA (Cook, '56) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



This new break in Iris breeding has attracted wide attention. The 

 standards are pale violet, deepening in tone to the deep lilac of the 

 flaring falls. With its very broad petals and huge size it will be im- 

 mediately spotted in any planting. 40 Inches. HM AIS, 1956; AM, 

 1958. See page 49. 



MEMPHIS LASS (Schortman, '57) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 

 A very ruffled white plicata, with rose to Burgundy markings on 

 the clean white falls and standards of almost solid Burgundy-rose. 

 Big fully formed flowers on 38-inch stems. One of the "5 Iris of 

 the Year" for 1967. See back cover. 



MILESTONE (Plough, '65) Each $15.00 



A combination of butterscotch yellow standards and dahlia purple 

 falls, the hafts overlaid brovra. A blue blaze in the center of the 

 falls extends up to and under the beard. HM AIS, 1966; AM, 1968. 



MILLIONAIRE (Brizendine, '58) Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Glamorous light golden brown self, the standards a shade lighter 

 than the falls. There is a metallic shine to the ruffled petals and 

 this gives it much more life than the usual brown or tan varieties. 

 36 inches. HM AIS, 1958; AM, 1960. See page 59. 



MISSION SUNSET (Bro. Charles, '63) Each $5.00 



This is derived from Celestial Glory and is in the same brilliant 

 orange color range. Described by some as "golden apricot." Mission 

 Sunset carries a hint of pink and a touch of chartreuse on the falls. 

 Beard is deep red and petals are lightly ruffled. 36 inches. HM 

 AIS, 1964; AM, 1966. See page 34. 



MORNING BREEZE (Fay, '63) Each $7.50 



Related to Rippling Waters, lighter in tone but in the same 

 elusive, pale blue-orchid and cream combination of merged tints. 

 Ruffled flowers with brilliant beards. Short. HM AIS, 1964. 



MORNING BRIGHT (Cook, '51) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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 in. HM AIS, 

 1952. Pictured on page 42. 



MR. WONDERFUL (Crosby, '59) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50

 chantment and Hall's Flamingo hne are in the parentage. 36 

 inches. HM AIS, 1959. 



MUSIC MAKER (Waters, '63) Each $5.00 



The much heralded supreme blue which some critics have judged 

 as the very best, particularly in form and color, of any blue Iris 

 thus far. A sky blue self, wide petaled, gracefully ruffled, on stout 

 34-inch stems. HM AIS, 1964; AM, 1966. 



MY HONEYCOMB (Gibsor}, '59) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



A molasses and honey blended plicata of great size, and excellent 

 branching, embracing the quality of Taholah, one of its parents, in 

 a taller and flashing combination of colors. The illustration on page 

 53 shows what to expect ... a giant Firecracker, deeper, richer 

 and with twice the stem of this fine old favorite. Height 36-38 

 inches. HM AIS, 1960. 



NATIVE CHIEF (Gibson, '66) Each $6.00 



Yellowish tan or "buckskin" colored standards, very ruffled and 

 full, and white falls bordered vdth the same soft tan of the stand- 

 ards over ivory white. This is one of Gibson's very largest new 

 things and is undoubtedly one of his best in every way. 36 inches, 

 well spaced. Shown on page 29.
