EREBUS (1932). A very tall rich blackish purple bicolor with deep 
brown shading in the throat, of royal garden effect and striking exhibition 
quality; 4-5 ft. (withdrawn for 1938) 
FAIRYLAND (Stevens 1936). A perfectly delightful sprite of an iris 
raised by crossing the remarkable Japanese Wattii with the Uwodu form of 
Japonica; color very pale lavender with splotches and dots of deeper laven¬ 
der and brown and with a yellow crest; more compact in growth than its 
parents. It has narrower leaves and smaller flowers than either these or 
Nada; 2 ft. each $6.00 
FLUSH OF DAWN (1931). A very floriferous soft blend in tones of 
Light Lobelia Violet, Light Brownish Vinaceous, and Olive Buff, all tints 
of the early morning sky. This is wholly charming as the light filters through 
the petals, and is especially beautiful for use under artificial illumination, 
other flowers in tones of clear blue or deep buff combining with it particu¬ 
larly well. An interesting parent in breeding; 3 ft. each 35c; 3 for 70c 
JACINTO (1924). Of fair size and attractive symmetry; well branched 
stem with many flowers; a tall pale blend of neutral tone wfith a pinkish 
cast; 4 ft. each 25c; 3 for 50c 
JUBILANT (1934). A brilliantly executed symphony of color, the most 
gorgeous descendant of Mauna Loa to appear so far. Matched by Ridgway 
the Old Gold standards contrast softly with the rich Ox-blood Red falls 
which are deepened by a changeable overlying shimmer of Victoria Lake 
and set off both by a wire edge of this hue and a conspicuous Cadmium Yel¬ 
low beard. Though the colors are bright and carry well, they are weil as¬ 
sembled and neither harsh nor screaming. Rather late. Good stem and 
branching; 38-in. An individual and glorious iris. each $12 50 
MAJESTY (1936). This is the admired Seedling 24-276-1, an immense 
purple-lavender flower of rather ordinary color but with huge ruffled petals 
and an overflush recalling that seen on Japanese iris; well grown, this is a 
superlative flower for exhibition. It is hard to convince some people that 
there is no Oncocyclus blood, but if so, the bees brought it; 3*4 ft...each $5.00 
MAUNA LOA (1925). H. M., A. I. S. A tall, upstanding bicolor of a 
strong reddish cast, the rich Dahlia Purple falls giving the dominant color 
note. Very large flowers, beginning early and continuing over a long season. 
Always one of the most admired irises in the garden. (Many call this the 
finest extant garden iris for California; 5-6 ft. each 50c; 3 for $1.00 
MAZAMA (1932). This strong-growing, rose-toned bicolor is an unfailing 
cynosure. The Pansy Purple falls show from afar. It is a somewhat com¬ 
plex derivative from Mauna Loa with just a touch of Dominion added. 
Though so large it has only % mesopotamica and its other ancestors are all 
hardy ones; 4-414 ft. each $1 00 
MOHAVE (1934). A large and very early iris in an unusual and very 
beautiful blending of colors, perhaps best described as a suffusion of vinac¬ 
eous old rose and tan; it is comparable to nothing else we know, and is much 
admired; 40 in. each $10.00 
MOONGOLD (1935). An extremely early large-flowered broad-petaled 
soft yellow self, a priceless gem because flowering with the later daffodils 
and lovely with them; Pinard Yellow, the S. illuminated with Lemon 
Chrome, the F. veined Old Gold near the Cadmium Yellow beard; bred from 
Argentina by Colonial which it suggests in shape and style; 30 in. each $5 00 
MOHICAN (1936). A noble sister seedling of Jubil ant; earlier and taker, 
the S. Tawny Olive, F. Madder Brown heavily overlaid Burnt Lake, the 
color solid to the Orange-tipped Cadmium Yellow beard; 4 ft.; very small 
stock ..... each $12.50 
MORELLO (1937). This was listed last season as Cucamonga, a name 
which unfortunately could not be retained. A sister seedling of Daysprin^, 
it shows a rich blending of colors highly unusual in an iris which ccmes with
