LAKE BREEZE (Fay, '45) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Delightful light blue-lavender, with lots of ruffling on squarely held 

 falls. There are no markings on the wide hafts. Large and free 

 blooming. HM AIS, 1945. 



LAKE TENAYA (Miess, '50) Each $1 .00; 3 for $2.50 



A vigorous and floriferous plant with lush foliage and very blue 

 flowers set with an intense yellow beard. Form is flaring to hori- 

 zontal with closed standards. 42 inches, well branched. Recom- 

 mended for California and the South. HM AIS, 1950. 



LAVANESQUE (Schreiner, '53) Each $5.00 



A winsomely ruffled improvement on Pink Plume. Color is an even 

 shade of delicate orchid-pink, the very broad petals nicely ruffled, 

 the beard and hafts rich gold. This is a very full-bodied flower in 

 all its parts . . . possibly the very finest of all the orchid or lilac- 

 pinks. 40 inches tall. HM AIS, 1955. 



LAVENDER & GOLD LACE (Whiting, '46) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A charmingly different Iris with golden yellow standards flushed 

 lavender and with crimped edges. Falls are lavender bordered with 

 a distinct frill of gold lace work. Strong, hardy plants producing 

 generous bloom and increase. 3 feet. 



LEADING LADY (Lyell, '50) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



A perky and lightly ruffled flower with bright pale yellow standards 

 and creamy white falls edged yellow. A great favorite with all 

 visitors as it makes a stunning clump. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1954. 

 Pictured on page 10. 



LILAC LANE (Whiting, '47) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



Pink-toned lilac self, not a pink but a very delicate mauve color of 

 heavy substance. Beard is very pale yellow. There are few, if any, 

 modern Iris which resemble this one in color tone. We regard it as 

 one of the loveliest new things and among Mrs. Whiting's best. 

 Slightly ruffled, very refined in efi:ect, 3 feet tall. HM AIS, 1948; 

 AM, 1951. 



LIMELIGHT (Hall, '52) Each $3.00 



A canary-yellow to greenish yellow Chantilly, very much larger 

 than that famous ruffled and frilled member of the pink strain. 

 It is a Sunray seedling, all yellow with a lighter area on the falls. 

 One of the most novel Iris we have ever grown and one of the most 

 beautiful as well. The lace-like blossoms are produced on 35-inch 

 stems. HM AIS, 1952; AM, 1954. See page 14. 



LOTTE LEMBRICH (Lapham, '51) Each $3.00 



Two shades of lilac . . . the standards like some of the "pink" 

 lilacs, the falls a deeper, or old-fashioned lilac hue. The beard is 

 bright tangerine. Very large, rounded blossoms; truly different. 

 37 inches. 



LOUVOIS (Cayeux, '36) Each 60c; 3 for $1 .50 



Brown, deep, rich and velvety, like the lustrous fur of an animal. 

 Breeders are still trying to attain an Iris that will be an improve- 

 ment on this distinct French creation. Done in two shades of choco- 

 late, it is well illustrated on page 38. Big flowers, medium height. 

 HM AIS, 1939. 



LOVELIGHT (Kleinsorge, '51) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Delicate pastel blend of pink and pearl, daintily ruffled at the edges. 

 The throat has some fine golden webbing and the beard is bright 

 yellow. A frosty sheen covers the entire blossom. Perfect full 

 rounded form, flaring slightly. 3 feet tall. 



LOVE STORY (Sapp, '50) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



Flaring flamingo-pink, from Dave Hall's line of pink breeding. A 

 perky, well formed flower of good size and a rich shade of pink 

 with tangerine beard. Good grower, producing lots of blooms on 

 tall and well branched stems. HM AIS, 1950. 



LYNN LANGFORD (Hall, '46) Each $1.00 



Orchid-pink in a deep tint, with golden yellow center. There is no 

 veining to detract from the general orchid coloring except that the 

 beard is golden yellow. Flowers are large, very flaring in form, 

 produced on stout, 3-foot stems. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1950. 



MAJENICA (Cook, '41) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Distinct and colorful pinkish blend with a tinge of salmon. This is 

 a pleasing flower in every way with wide-petaled standards and falls; 

 full, rounded and huge in size. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1943. It 

 is the flower in the foreground on pages 26 and 27. 



MALAY (Kleinsorge, '52) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Rich and brilliant ginger-brown self, the flat spreading falls harking 

 back to Tobacco Road. The Iris has lots of fire and a clump gives 

 a vivid brown garden effect whereas most browns have little land- 

 scape value. 30 inches tall, good size and free blooming. 



MARY RANDALL (fay, '51) Each $7.50 



This deep rose-pink self, with bright tangerine-red beard is a new 

 color in Iris. The flowers are large and have a thickness of petal 

 seen in few other varieties. Haft is very wide, free from markings. 

 The form of this Iris is near perfection and the flowers are well 

 spaced along a nicely branched, 36-inch stem. Produces wonderful 

 seedlings. Dykes Medal, 1954. Illustrated on page 50. 



MASTER CHARLES (Williart^son, '43) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Glowing mulberry-purple, with definite charm and flare to the form. 

 Standards are true purple, with blackish sheen blending to brown 

 at the base. Falls the same color blended brown at the haft. Beard 

 mulberry-purple tipped brown. Brilliant and distinctive, it is 

 undoubtedly one of the finest of Longfield introductions. HM AIS, 

 1944; AM, 1946. 



MATTIE GATES fSass, '46; Each $1.00 



Exquisite wax-like blossoms with a pronounced sheen. A cool, soft 

 yellow with bright gold on a crisp white heart. A cleaner flower 

 than Golden Fleece, taller and larger than Misty Gold. HM AIS, 

 1946; AM, 1950. 



MAY HALL fHa//, '54j Each $10.00 



In the opinion of Mr. Hall this is the best flamingo-pink he has 

 thus far turned out. The color is clear, clean, and bright, a shade of 

 pink which everyone expects in a flower of this hue. Many spread- 

 ing blossoms to the stem, good branching, and a vivid beard to set 

 it off. 36 inches tall. HM AIS, 1954; AM, 1956. Shown on the cover. 



MAYTIME (Whiting, '50) Each $3.00 



Two tones of bright orchid-pink. This is one of Mrs. Whiting's best 

 —a handsomely formed full flower with lots of color. There is a 

 definite contrast in the color of standards and falls, making it a near 

 amoena. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1953.
