SNOW MAIDEN—Pure white, and so free blooming that it 
covers the ground like a drift of snow. 
Indian 
Chief 
Lady Lilford. Part oncocyclus, the same 
type of hybrid as William Mohr. Heav¬ 
ily veined. Sometimes produces blooms 
with 4 standards and 4 falls. A dis¬ 
tinct flower of lavender purple. Mid¬ 
season. 18-inch. 35c; 3 for 75c 
Lady Paramount. An immense light yel¬ 
low, nearly as large as Happy Days. 
Bred from W. R. Dykes, which is also 
one of the parents of the sensational 
Happy Days. 
Blooms very similar in form to that 
of Happy Days, shown on inside front 
cover page. Plants large and tall, well 
branched, with many blooms to a stalk. 
Mid-season. 40-inch. $ 10.00 
Le Correge. A very superior variety 
among the lower priced bronzes. Smoky 
bronze standards, plum red falls. Con¬ 
spicuous yellow beard. Well branched 
and fragrant. Very popular. Mid-sea¬ 
son. 30-inch. 35c; 3 for 75C 
Legend. In our opinion, the finest of the 
five iris sold from the famous Wareham 
collection in 1932. Color similar to Car¬ 
dinal, but improved in every way—be¬ 
ing taller, larger, better branched, and 
carrying many more very large, perfect 
blooms to the stalk. Very rich velvety 
crimson claret, with standards beau¬ 
tifully veined violet-blue. Its brilliant 
yellow beard is one of the most striking 
known to any iris, setting off the mag¬ 
nificent blooms in a fascinating manner. 
Late mid-season. 40-inch. 
75C; 3 for $2.00 
Leonato. A greatly improved Lady Foster, 
larger, taller, lighter in color, but 
shapely and well proportioned. Pale 
lavender to silvery heliotrope. Early 
flowering. Very fragrant. 40-inch. 
20c; 3 for 40c 
Lighthouse (Salbach 1936). A delightful 
blend—see new introductions, page 3. 
Loetitia Michaud. See Souv. De Loetitia 
Michaud. 
Lord Lambourne. A rosy bronze bi-color 
which makes a fine clump in the gar¬ 
den. Very showy, giving a profusion of 
flowers. Early. 34-inch. 25c; 3 for 50c 
Lord Wolseley. See page 28. 
Loreley. One of the most distinct smaller 
iris. Yellow with heavy slashings of 
raisin purple on the falls. Free bloom¬ 
ing and fragrant. Attractive. Mid-sea¬ 
son. 20-inch. 25c; 3 for 50c 
Los Angeles (Mitchell). This giant plicata, 
introduced with the Dykes Medal win¬ 
ner, Sad Francisco, alternates in favor 
with the latter—one person preferring 
Los Angeles, the next San Francisco. 
Los Angeles has more white and less 
of the blue plicata markings than San 
Francisco, and is a good doer every¬ 
where. 
Great white flowers of fine shape and 
substance, the standards faintly edged 
blue with the blue style arms adding a 
note of clear blue in the center. Tall 
and widely branched. Most outstand¬ 
ing. Early. 40-inch. 60c; 3 for $1.50 
Louis Bel. Very dark pansy violet, show¬ 
ing red violet against the sun. One of 
the richest of the low iris in this color 
shade. Early. 20-inch. 35c; 3 for 75c 
Lycaena. White standards with rich pur¬ 
ple falls with paler margin. Refreshing¬ 
ly attractive for a small iris. Mid-sea¬ 
son. 27-inch. 20c; 3 for 40c 
Mabel Taft. Considered one of the largest 
iris grown. Huge blooms, tall, and well 
branched. Blue bi-color. Mid-season. 
44-inch. 50c 
Magenta. A very fine red violet self of 
satiny texture. Vivid and showy. Ex¬ 
cellent substance. Late. 30-inch. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
Mauna Loa. A strikingly handsome tall 
bi-color which receives its dominant 
color note from the dahlia purple falls. 
Blooms early and continues for a long 
time. Particularly fine in California. 
Stock limited. Mid-season. 40-inch. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
Magnifica. Huge flowers of light violet 
blue standards and red violet falls. Fine 
grower, splendid in mass, and most 
popular. Early. 40-inch. 
20c; 3 for 40c; 12 for $1.35 
Majestic. A large flower of heavy sub¬ 
stance. Standards light blue, falls deep 
blue-purple. Low branching. Mid-sea¬ 
son. 30-inch. 20c; 3 for 40c 
Marquita. Perhaps the largest of all 
variegatas, but so distinctly different 
in coloring from the average variegata 
that it hardly seems to belong under 
the same classification. Simply huge 
blooms, standards of clear creamy yel¬ 
low, frostily lustrous, and with falls of 
cream, but so heavily lined rose pink 
that it seems more like a suffusion than 
a lining at the end of the petals. 
Overlooked in the awarding of the 
French Dykes Medal because it was sc 
late of bloom that most of the judges 
missed it. One of the finest French 
iris ever produced—a remarkable va¬ 
riety which should eventually find its 
way into the gardens of all iris lovers. 
42-inch. $3.50 
Mary Barnett. A lovely lavender blue. 
Free flowering and fragrant. Early mid¬ 
season. 28-inch. 35c; 3 for 75C 
Mary Geddes. Considered by many to be 
the most fascinating of all the soft 
blends because of its unusual coloring 
—a blending of lovely soft tones that 
approaches pink. Highly commended, 
having received an Award of Merit from 
both the American and British iris 
societies. One of the very few American 
varieties to receive a B. I. S. award. 
Best described as a lighter, taller 
King Midas. Standards light bronze 
with just a suggestion of flesh pink. 
Falls coral rose, with yellow haft, lined 
bronze. Medium in size, but neverthe¬ 
less a sensational variety. 28-inch. 
$2.25; 3 for $6.00 
Mary Gibson. Tall light bronzy rose. A 
small iris, but so attractively colored 
that it makes a fine note when planted 
in mass. Mid-season. 36-inch. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
Meldoric. Probably Dr. Ayres outstanding 
production; certainly one of his best. 
The flowers are blue-black, and very 
large. Gold beard. An early sell-out last 
year, as well as the year before. Stock 
still scarce. Mid-season. 30-inch. 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00 
Carl Salbach 
Finest Iris

Most entrancing when shown under 
electric light, and very beautiful in 
bouquets at all times. Mid-season. 26- 
inch. 35c; 3 for 75C 
Mirasol (Mitchell). Pure chrome yellow 
unmarred by veining and of fine form 
and finish. The broad petalled, well 
balanced flowers are nicely placed on 
the low branched stems. Remains long 
in flower because of its many buds. 
Ranks with its sister seedling and 
Pluie d’Or as the finest in golden yel¬ 
lows in its price range. Mid-season. 30- 
inch. 35c; 3 for 75C 
Missouri. A very fine rich blue having 
a smooth, enamel-like finish. Highly 
praised in the Mid-West, and without 
question, one of the best new blue iris. 
Raised by a breeder who has made a 
specialty of blue iris. Mid-season to 
late. $4.50 
Mme. Cecile Bouscant. A clear self tone 
of light orchid pink that is absolutely

out because of the live, bright tone of 
coloring. Heavy yellow beard. Mid-sea¬
