MING YELLOW Each $8.00 



A yellow without a fault — clear, rich, smooth without vena- 

 tion, big and slightly waved. Habit of growth similar to 

 Depute Nomblot. Mrs. Pattison considers it the most sen- 

 sational iris she has ever grow n, and so states in her catalog. 



MISS CALIFORNIA Each $2.00 



Gigantic lilac pink, with the growing habits of Dauntless, 

 one of the parents. While not the "pinkest" iris, the shade 

 of this one is quite novel and it surely has every attribute 

 that one could w ish for in a perfect flower. One of the high- 

 lights from Carl Salbach See page 13. 



MISSOURI Each 75c 



A famous clear blue that won the Dykes medal in 1937. The 

 color is particularly fine when afforded light shade from the 

 afternoon sun. Stock still limited. 



MME. M. LASSAILLY 



Each $3.00 



A new one from brancc bearing some resemblance to the 

 variety Amigo, with a more pronounced contrast of blue 

 standards and blackish purple falls edged blue. It won the 

 Dykes medal in 1935. Larger than Amigo, with velvety 

 fails, slightly waved 



MME. LOUIS AUREAU Each $2.00 



This heavily dotted and sanded plicata from Cayeu.x is a 

 rival of the series now so popular from the Sasses. It has a 

 ground color of silvery white, closely netted with rosy helio- 

 trope. A very large blossom. 



MODISTE Each $4.00 



A beautiful self of pale mauve, much different from other 

 pale blues and lavenders now available. In color it is similar 

 to the old and lovely "Mile. Schwartz," but MODISTE is 

 a flower of broad hafts, full rounded shape, and ideal growing 

 habits. Stems are heavy, well branched, and around 40 

 inches tall. Shown in color on page b. 



MOHRSON Each 75c 



A deep violet colored seedling of Wm. Mohr, with darker 

 veins and a rich bronzy gold beard. Here is a spectacular 

 flower, one of the very largest, ruffled and crinkled. The 

 picture on page 9 is an excellent likeness. 



MONADNOCK Each $3.00 



Tall and stately, a bright rose-red self, with flaring falls and 

 smooth finish. A seedling of Marquita, quite late, over 40 

 inches in height. 



MOROCCO ROSE Each $3.00 



Very large rose-pink self, with soft yellow glow at the heart 

 and brownish cast about the haft. We believe it to be the 

 nearest to genuine pink of any iris in this catalog. Unlike 

 most iris of this color, Morocco Rose is a really big flower. 

 See page 12. 



MOUNTAIN SNOW 



Each $4.00 



A cool white, as the name implies, w ith a very faint sugges- 

 tion of blue shadow on the falls. A New England introduction, 

 with size and height to satisfy any critic, and with very 

 broad falls and thick substance. 



MOUNTAIN SUNSET Each 50c 



An indescribable medley of fawn and old gold equally suf- 

 fused in the standards, and the falls entirely overlaid with 

 varying shades of violet. Novel in shape as well as in color; 

 a blend of pastel tints that invites close inspection. Very 

 late, medium in size, 30 inches tall. 



MRS. SILAS WATERS Each $1.50 



Huge primrose yellow self, standards and falls practically the 

 same shade, cream haft. Three feet and over in height. 



MRS. WILLARD JACQUES Each $1.50 



This is a more deeply colored flower than Noweta, which it 

 resembles in type. It has, however, an overtone of buffy 

 apricot, setting it apart from other pinks. Also, it is a very 

 large flower, with rather long falls and pronounced crinkling 



NARAIN Each 50c 



A silky intense indigo blue, with blue beard on a cream 

 throat but without veinings. Rather early, with immense 

 foliage and very large flowers. One of the best blues at any 

 price. 



NARANJA Each 90c 



The first iris of huge size with a definite orange tone. Falls 

 are ochraceous orange, with a yellow heart, and the stan- 

 dards are bright empire yellow, the beard orange yellow. It 

 gives a pronounced orange effect in the garden. See page 13. 



NEON Each 40c 



Bronzy gold standards, falls bright and velvety carmine red, 

 rich and glowing. The beard is a fiery golden orange. When 

 well grown this is a magnificent iris. 



NOONTIDE Each $5.00 



Referred to by Mr. Thole, the introducer, as his "yellow 

 Depute Nomblot." A very tall and large flowered solid 

 yellow, with an odd overlay of old gold. This is not a dirty 

 yellow, as one might be led to suspect, but a handsome and 

 unusual iris in a much crowded field. A fine grower, it will 

 not disappoint you. 



NOWETA Each 25c 



So great is the demand for this ruffled and free bloomiing 

 creamy pink, that we acquired additional stock after we ran 

 short last year, in order to propagate a supply again for this 

 season. Unbeatable as a garden subject or for cutting. 



OLD PARCHMENT Each $10.00 



A light creamy tan, with golden buff overlay, a most unusual 

 color break and a distinctly beautiful new iris. Standards 

 are domed and closed, falls flaring and rather tailored in 

 appearance. A perfectly huge bloom, heavy of substance, 

 and the longest lasting variety in our garden. A Kleinsorge 

 introduction of 1939 that we consider the most outstanding 

 recent iris next to Prairie Sunset. In color on the cover. 



ORLOFF Each $3.00 



New plicata of good size and most unusual coloring, being a 

 sort of cinnamon brown in effect. The ground color is deep 

 cream, heavily dotted and etched red-brown, with consid- 

 erable gold near the center. Throws several spikes per 

 rhizome, but increases rapidly even so. Shown on page 13. 



ORMOHR Each $8.00 



Shown on the back cover. One of the largest irises in exist- 

 ence, and especially noteworthy because it is a seedling of 

 Wm. Mohr. It reaches 40 inches in height, with several great 

 blooms on well-branched stems. Perfectly hardy, and a 

 producer of seed and a new race of seedlings. The color is 

 pale lilac with a silvery cast, veined violet. 



OZONE Each $1.50 



A peculiar and subtle shade of rosy lavender, the same in 

 standards and falls, with a pronounced copper area through- 

 out the center. Large and of ideal shape, a fine grower. Very 

 few plants. 



PALE MOONLIGHT Each 40c 



Here is a lighter blue than either Sierra Blue or Shining 

 Waters, but with the same rampant growth and lordly blos- 

 soms. Very tall, a uniform pale blue with yellow beard.
