MABEL TAFT EACH 75c; THREE FOR $1.75 



Wonderful giant blue, with velvety falls. A can- 

 didate for "the world's largest iris", the stalks tower- 

 ing to almost five feet in some instances, and with the 

 largest foliage of any bearded iris we have. The group 

 of about a dozen chimps pictured on page 15 was a 

 real attention getter in our display garden. 



MAGENTA EACH 40c 



Very deep amethyst-violet, a shade not compar- 

 able to any other iris. Very free blooming, with 

 flowers better than average size. This is another 

 variety which makes a grand showing on a two-year 

 clump, and especially when planted adjacent to pink 

 or yellow. 



M. A. PORTER EACH 75c; THREE FOR $1.75 



A very large seedling produced by E. G. Lapham, 

 of Elkhart, Ind. Standards are close to Gaudichau 

 in color, with much darker falls. A very deep violet 

 of heavy substance, with brilliant orange beard. The 

 growth of stem and leaf is very rampant, indicative 

 of its vigor and size. 



MARQUISETTE EACH 35c; THREE FOR 85c 



An odd tone of "shrimp pink". This is slightly 

 similar to Frivolite, except that it is several shades 

 lighter and lacks the golden sheen of this newer sort. 

 INIarquisette is most effective when established as a 

 two-year clump. 



MARQUITA EACH $3.00; THREE FOR $7.50 



A well named iris in brilliant ivoi'y yellow, Avitli 

 ochraeeous maroon veinings on the falls. The stan- 



dards are ivory deepening to sulphur at the base, and 

 so large that they constitute the major portion of the 

 floAver. Falls are of the same color, but entirely lined 

 maroon. This very late novelty was one of the tAvo or 

 three most popular things among our visitors last 

 season. 



MART IE EVEREST each $3.00 



Fall bloomer of a lovely tone of soft clear h\\\e. 

 Reliable in its autumn flowering habit, and an easy 

 grower. We are one of the few (fealers to list it. 



MARY CEDDES each $1.75; THREE FOR $5.00 



In the forefront of American .introductions dur- 

 ing the past two or three seasons, and for that matter, 

 one of the finest and most distinct irises of all time. 

 The color is light ocliraceoas salmon, the falls stained 

 deeper. In our garden it has always exhibited 4-way 

 branching habit, and is one of our longest lasting 

 varieties. Very little stock available anywhere in the 

 country. Awarded an A. M. at Wisley, England, in 

 1933. Shown on page 27. 



MARYSENNI EACH $1.50 



Huge mauve blend, a sort of ashes of roses com- 

 bination, with golden beard to relieve the sombreness. 

 Produced by the great Frenchman, Millet, this iris 

 was named for the foremost iris critic in Italy. We do 

 not have any other iris near this color in our entire 

 collection, and stock is offered by very few growers. 



MEHAMA EACH $3.00 



A blend of pink and yellow, with an underlying 

 cast of pale blue. A self in effect, although the stan- 

 dards are slightly lighter and reflect the glints of 

 dust-like golden particles. A very large iris, quite 

 early, on stems from 30 to 36 inches tall. With the 

 sun on it, or through it, Mehama is one of the most 

 enclianting things in the garden. See page 33. 



MELCHIOR EACH35C 



The deep velvet-maroon flowers leave nothing 

 to ask for in either size, shape, or all-round iris per- 

 fection. My own color description would be "a self 

 of velvety-garnet, with beard of bronze-yellow." 

 Melchior was introduced in England as an improved 

 Mrs. Valerie West, but with us it is distinctly dif- 

 ferent, and we personally regard it as one of the 

 world's very best. 



MELDORIC EACH $2.00; THREE FOR $5.00 



Again last season the demand for this deep blue- 

 black novelty completely absorbed every salable 

 rhizome we had on the place. This leaves us with a 

 limited quantity to start the present year, so we sug- 

 gest early orders to avoid disappointment. 



MICHELLINE CHARRAIRE EACH 30c 



Beautiful tall white, with golden beard. A clear 

 white of large size, and very desirable. 



MIDGARD EACH 20c; 3 FOR 50e 



When this lovely beauty was first shown, it cre- 

 ated a furore, because the yellow-pink blended flow- 

 ers introduced a new color note, and the ruffled 

 petals were an added touch of distinction. It has 

 proven to be one of the most reliable varieties for
