MARCO POLO Each $1.00 



A beautiful and striking red iris bred by 

 Robert Schreiner in St. Paul. The stan- 

 dards are bright rose, the falls vivid crim- 

 son. Beard is orange yellow and there is 

 no veining at the haft. A lighter and 

 brighter red than Cheerio. 



MARGARET ROWE Each $1.50 



A deep old rose self, set off by a brilliant 

 gold beard and haft. One of the many fine 

 things from Dr. Ayres, of Cincinnati. 



MAROUITA Each 50c 



A well named iris in brilliant ivory yellow, 

 with ochraceous maroon veinings on the 

 falls. Standards are ivory deepening to 

 sulphur at the base. Falls are the same 

 color, but are entirely lined maroon. 

 Always a sellout. 



MARY GEDDES Each 25c 



A garden effect of salmon-orange, actually 

 an ochraceous salmon with deeper stained 

 falls. A former Dykes medal winner and 

 one of the most popular irises of all time. 



MATULA Each $10.00 



A beautiful blend of brilliant rose, rich 

 orange, crimson and buff. This is one of 

 the latest sensations from those wizards, 

 the Sass Brothers. The flower is very 

 large, with long falls that are waved and 

 crimped, as are those of Midwest Gem. 

 This makes a mighty handsome pair. 



MAYA Each $2.00 



Strawberry or rose-red self, with velvety 

 falls blended with copper at the haft. A 

 distinct and different iris of large size and 

 on fine stems. 



MAY DAY Each $17.50 



Declared to be the finest apricot-salmon 

 thus far originated. Self colored in stan- 

 dards and falls, it has a suffusion of 

 burnished copper and a very bright orange 

 beard. A large bloom on husky stalks. 

 Very few plants. 



MATTERHORN Each $10.00 



The most beautiful and cleanest white 

 we have ever seen. It does not displace 

 Snowking, for they are entirely different 

 in type, the latter big, bold, and imposing, 

 while Matterhorn is delicate despite its 

 large size — ladylike, one might say. Pure 

 white, even the beard is cream. Very well 

 branched, 40 inches tall. 



MELDORIC Each 35c 



Huge blue-black self, one of the richest 

 and most striking irises ever introduced. 

 Neither a rapid increaser nor a free 

 flowerer, it rewards the owner with spikes 

 of bloom that are well worth waiting for. 



MIDWEST GEM Each $3.00 



One of the very best new Sass varieties, 

 a beautiful self of pale apricot yellow, 

 lightly flushed pink. Immense in both 

 stalk and flower, it particularly attracts 

 those who first see it because of the odd 

 crimped petals, The colored picture on 

 page 12 is a reasonably good likeness, but 

 fails to portray the elusive pinkish tinge.
