MARY ELIZABETH (Kirk. ‘29) Mary E. wears a velvet skirt of brilliant rosy red, with an over¬ 
blouse of fresh toned pink. It isn’t as bad as it sounds — it’s striking! 38". 3 for $1.30/ SO.65 
MARY GEDDES (Wash. ’31) This Mary enraptures all hearts in her gown of salmony-orange. 
In detail, the stiff S. are light yellow-salmon; the semi-flaring F. are the same, overlaid with 
red. The bloom has excellent carriage and style and is impervious to the weather. There 
are many buds to the stalk, which is widely branched. All these fine qualities convince us 
that Mary Geddes should come home from the party with a Medal! A.M., A.I.S. '33. $2.25 
MARY SENNI (Mil. ’30) Named for our best known Italian enthusiast, Mary Senni is most en- 
chantingly gowned in a French creation of pale pink, shading lighter at the edges. This is 
an iris of excellent form, finish and substance. .’...$1.00 
MEDLEY (Sturt. -Kell. ’35) When the five girls reached the party — such a medley! In this par¬ 
ticular Medley, the pink predominates. A flower of medium size, reminding the observer of 
a brightened Zaharoon, with pink in place of the lavender. Growth is rapid. 40". S7.50 
MELDORIC (Ayres ’30) We cannot supply the demand for this magnificently rich dark blue-black 
iris. Larger and darker than Blue Velvet, and perhaps a tone less blue; like that iris, this 
sometimes spots in the rain. A bright beard makes a rich contrast with the deep toned falls, 
which flare and are of fine substance. H.M., A.I.S. ’31.$2.00 
MEPHISTO (Cay. ’30) A very fine black-indigo iris, with well shaped and nicely balanced blooms. 
$1.25 
MINISTRE FERNAND DAVID (Cay. ’30) Voted the best iris in France, in the year of its intro¬ 
duction. A dark reddish-purple, with luminous S. and velvety F. Shape and substance are 
very fine,- we find it a poor grower with us. Special Prize, France ’30. $1.25 
MIRADOR (Nich. ’34) Reported the tallest of a new color combination. The domed S. are 
bright yellow; the F. dahlia carmine, overlaid with blue, with no light edges. Stems are 
well branched, carrying well proportioned flowers. $7.50 
MISSOURI (G rint. ’33) In Missouri, Mr. Grinter has originated the finest iris of 1933, and probably 
one of the best for several years. Flowers of medium blue, of excellent substance and form, 
with the semi-flaring falls flushed a deeper blue than the S. The beard is a yellow gold, haft 
is mellow brown. This is one of the few absolutely weather-proof irises. 44". A.M., A.I.S. 
'35. $5.00 
MME. de BEAUMARCHAIS (Mil. ’31) Madame, of well rounded form, appears in a distinct 
warm brown tone, with a deeper shade on the skirts. The flower is large, and on good stems. 
$3.50 
MOHRSON (White ’35) The worthy son of an excitingly delightful father. Nothing, surely, can 
be more breath-taking than the large all-frilled and veined blooms of William Mohr. 
Mohrson the first seedling to be developed from William, is deeper toned and a sturdier 
grower. The S. are clear deep violet, varnished and crinkled, with ruffled edges; 
The drooping F. are of petunia violet, closely covered with dark violet. H.M., A.I.S. 
'35. $7.50 
MOONGLO (Wmsn. ’35) The golden glow of the moon all tangled up with the rosy clouds of 
sunset, which gradually fade away as the moon rides higher, and the iris grows older. 
Back to prosaic facts: — the S. are yellow,- the F. a rosy-violet, flaring and large. The 
substance is exceptionally heavy for a blend. 32". $8.00
