Mildred Presby 



A distinct type with ])alest yellow standards and 

 bright ruby falls, with a liairline of yellow at tlie 

 ■edge. A very dependable and attractive variety. 



Each 25c 



MiNISTRE FeRNAND DaVID 



A masterpiece in deep, rich, dark purple. This 

 recent French introduction received much praise 

 when first seen in Mrs. Pattison's garden at Free- 

 port, 111. A huge, well shaped flower, that lias been 

 awarded many certificates and prizes abroad. 



Each $6.00 



Mirasol 



A very fine large yellow, containing some IMeso- 

 potamiea blood, but reasonably easy to grow. The 

 flowers are of large size, well formed, slightly 

 roimded, and there are no markings to detract from 

 the solid golden yellow color. Rich yellow beard. 

 Three feet in height. Each $1.50 



Mme. Cecile Bouscant 



Clear orchid pink, beard yellow-white. Very large 

 flower and a lovely thing, but not a free l)loomer. 



Each 75c 



Mme. Durrand 



One of the most unusual and most l)eautiful irises 

 in the world, a blend of pale buff and creamy laven- 

 der, marked old gold. A heavy flowerer, fine in every 

 way, but rather tender in cold sections where it 

 should have protection and perfect drainage. 



Each 50c; three for $1.25 



Mme. Gaudichau 



Very early dark violet blue self, with heavy gold 

 beard. Perfect in form and sulistam-e and of velvety 

 texture. Very fragrant. Each 25c 



Moon Magic 



I was privileged to visit Mr. Skull's own garden 

 in Chevy Chase in 3 981, and found this excellent 

 iris at its very best. It is of a general buff-yellow 

 tone, smooth and creamy in texture, of wonderful 

 form. There is little doubt in my own mind but that 

 Moon Magic will be proclaimed as Shull's greatest 

 achievement since he gave us Morning Splendor. The 

 accompanying photo gives a good idea of the oppu- 

 lence of bloom, branching, and general all- 'round 

 good qualities which go to make this an iris of I'are 

 merit. IT. :\]. AIS 1932. Each $5.00 



Monterey 



Dark bronzed red-purple, a very deep tone of 

 mulberry, stained with dregs of wine. The broad, 

 velvety falls are edged with the lighter tone of the 

 standards. Another of the Mitchell giants from Cab 

 ifornia, with all good points, reaching a height of 

 four feet. Each $1.50 



Montour 



This little gem was growing in IMi's. Kellogg 's fa- 

 mous garden (Over-the-Garden-AVall ) in a group in- 

 cluding Dauntless, and it struck me at first sight as 

 an abridged edition of the giant red. The colors are 

 more subdued, a medley of deep pink and brown, set 

 with a bright orange beard. Fine for the front of a 

 planting where taller sorts are used in the back- 



ground. Montour is perfect in every detail, in a class 

 entirely apart from most irises of dwarf stature. 



Each 50c; three for $1.00 



Moonlight 



One of the eai'liest, a giant white witii green and 

 gold reticulations. Very heavy gold beard. Each 25c 



Morning Splendor 



Certainly among the best no matter what the 

 price. A huge flower of crimson or wine color, per- 

 fect in every detail. Has received many aAvards and 

 is surpassed by nothing in its color class. 



Each 25c; per dozen $1.50 



Mother OF Pearl 



The name describes' the color. Very tall, a reli- 

 al)]e bloomei'. Each 25c 



Mrs. Valerie West 



Of the long line of Dominion seedlings put out 

 by ]Mr. Bliss, he considers this his crowning achieve- 

 ment. It combines the rich colorings of Bruno and 

 Cardinal into a flower of greater size on a taller 

 stem, widely branched, and produces its enormous 

 blossoms in great profusion. Heretofore the price 

 of this has been almost prohibitive for widespread 

 distribution, but our stock has increased so that Ave 

 are able to offer it at the following unprecedented 



low price. 



Each $1.00; three for $2.50
