Over-the-Garden-Wall 
LOST LADY (Rich. 1935) Another plicata that has the 
domed S. heavily feathered with lavender-blue, and the flaring 
F. narrowly edged with the same. 38". $1.00 
MARY SENNI (Mil. 1930) A very large bloom of pale 
pink, shading lighter at the edges. Form and finish are both 
fine. 28". $.50 
LUCRE 
(White 1936) More of California’s gold, this time 
in the form of Lucre. A large and very bright deep 
yellow, with a flush of old gold on the upper part 
of the F. Vigorous and fast growing, with a wealth 
of sparkling yellow flowers. 45". $7.50 
LUCREZIA BORI (Schr. 1935) Lucrezia has thrilled the 
world! Our hats are off to this magnificent yellow iris, which is 
between California Gold and Lady Paramount in color, and 
has the added quality of a rich beard. The S. are cupped, broad 
and ruffled; the F. are very long and stylishly flaring, sometimes 
flecked with lavender. It is unusual to find an iris of such ex¬ 
ceptionally heavy substance, that is also so delightfully ruffled. 
42". H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $15.00 
MABEL TAFT (Ware. 1932) A giant violet-blue of Dominion 
heritage. $.50 
MAGI (Sturt. 1933) Crisp and iridescent, this iris has ruffled 
S. of plum color, and flaring F. that are more bluish in tone. 
Early. 28". $2.00 
MAGNETAWAN (Kirk. 1935) Another of Dr. Kirkland’s 
coppers, with beautifully rounded S. of copperish brown, 
and large straight-hanging F. of copper-red. The stalk is low 
and well branched. 30". $5.00 
MAID OF ASTALOT (J. Sass 1936) We like the reports 
we have heard of this new large-flowered blue and 
white plicata, and are anxious to see it in bloom. As 
' 0 large and tall as the older ones from California, this 
has all the hardiness of the Sass' originations. The S. 
and F. both have blue markings in the throat. 45". $10.00 
MARCO POLO (Schr. 1936) The Marco Polo of the Middle 
Ages traveled far and wrote colorfully of what he 
Msjmssdw ; the iris Marco Polo will also travel far and will 
J ' be colorfully written about. A red bicolor of clear 
toned red. The S. are lustrous rose; the F. are velvety 
brilliant crimson. “In general effect it comes the nearest to 
spectrum red of any iris we have seen.” 36". $12.50 
MAYA (Wash. 1934) We wonder if any members of the 
old May a tribe were more splendid in form, carriage and color, 
than is their modern namesake! A tall strawberry-red iris with 
domed S. and with very velvety F. that blend copper and gold 
at the throat. The branching is fine. Very late. 40". H.M., 
A.I.S., 1935. $17.50 
MEDLEY (Sturt. 1935) The pink predominates in this medley 
of soft colors. A flower of medium size, reminding the observer 
of Zaharoon, brightened, and with pink instead of the lavender. 
40". $4.00 
MELDORIC (Ayres 1930) Here’s an iris that does wonder¬ 
fully well elsewhere. Larger and darker than Blue Velvet, 
with a bright beard that makes a rich contrast with the deep 
toned F. H.M., A.I.S., 1931. $1.25 
MIRADOR (Nich. 1934) A tall new color combination. 
The domed S. are bright yellow, the F. dahlia-carmine, overlaid 
with blue, with no light edges. $3.50 
MISSOURI (Grint. 1933) This is not a case where one needs 
to be from Missouri, to believe this is a fine iris — the entire 
country votes it superlatively fine. The flowers are of medium 
blue, of excellent form and substance, with semi-flaring F. 
flushed a deeper tone than the S. The beard is gold, and the 
bloom is weatherproof. 44". A.M., A.I.S., 1935. $4.00 
MME. de BEAUMARCHAIS (Mil. 1932) A particularly 
fine iris of deep rich crimson, with a brown haft and a rose 
shading on the F. Good blooms on a fine stalk. 38". $2.00 
MOHRSON (White 1935) Another seedling from the always- 
charming William Mohr. Like Grace Mohr, this is darker and 
sturdier. The deep violet S. are varnished and crinkled and 
ruffled; the drooping F. are violet, closely covered with dark 
violet. H.M., A.I.S., 1935. $5.00 
MOONGLO (Wmsn. 1935) Be we old or young, Moonglo(w) 
intrigues us. The iris has S. of soft gold and the F. are flushed 
with lavender and edged with gold. Substance and stalk are 
both exceptionally fine. 32". H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $5.50 
MARGARET ANNE (Wmsn. 1933) A brick-red iris with 
a chrome-yellow beard. 30". 3 for $1.00, $.50 
MARION (Mil. 1931) A very fine light porcelain-blue self, 
shaded somewhat deeper at the center of the flower. The F. 
are horizontal; and the ruffled flower and stalk are both fine. 
28". $1.25 
MARQUITA (Cay. 1931) A very different and very lovely 
iris. The S. are ivory, flushed with yellow,- F. are the same with 
bright ruby venations running through the petals. 38". $2.50 
MARY ELIZABETH (Kirk. 1929) A brilliant rosy-red 
bicolor. 38". $.50 
MARY GEDDES (Wash. 1931) This Mary enraptures all 
hearts in her gown of salmony-orange. The stiff S. are light 
yellow-salmon; the semi-flaring F. are the same, overlaid with 
red. The bloom has excellent carriage and is impervious to 
weather. All qualities are fine, and brought this iris the Dykes’ 
Medal, last season. 40". $1.50 
MOON MAGIC (Shull 1931) All the moon's magic, gathered 
into an iris. It is a light yellow self with flaring F. and heavy 
substance. 36". H.M., A.I.S., 1932. $1.00 
MOUNTAIN SNOW (Kell. 1937) See page 2 $25.00 
MOUNT CLOUD (Mill. 1936) A glorious white mountain 
top in the iris landscape. Tall and stately, this blue- 
white iris with broad rounded petals and finish of 
satin, is especially lovely. The F. are almost horizon¬ 
tal; the beard is pale,- stalk and foliage are both excellent. 
Visitors in our garden last season, saw it as Milliken Seedling 
No. 657. 46", here. H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $7.50 
MORNING STAR (Win. 1934) Of a "sweet shade of 
butter yellow,” with good-sized flowers, a long period of 
bloom makes this iris desirable for garden massing. 32". $1.00 
MOTIF (Sturt. 1931) A fine iris in the pansy-violet class. 
Deep, but not too much so as to be showy, the flower has very 
heavy substance. 36". 3 for $3.00, $1.50
