AN IRIS LOVER'S CATALOG 
19 
years and every A.I.S. judge as far as we know has placed 
a high estimate on this variety. It goes without saying 
that Mme. Louis Aureau leaves little to be desired in size, 
habit, branching. Winner of the Dykes Medal in France 
in 1934. $15.00 
MME. MAURICE LASSAILLY (Cayeux 1935)M.37". 
The sky-blue standards, velvety purple falls, and orange 
beard of this handsome new bicolor make it a rival of the 
famous Amigo. It may lack a trifle of the intensity of this 
color-gem but gains a little in respect to size and height. 
$ 20.00 
MME. ULMANN (Cayeux 1936) M. 36". 
Blue standards with a silvery reflex and lavender blue 
falls combined with typical Cayeux styling make this 
French production one of charming delicacy. $15.00 
MONOMOY (McKee 1936) ML. 36". 
A handsome dark blue-purple bicolor with domed stand¬ 
ards and flaring falls. Somewhat similar to Royal Beauty. 
$3.50 
MOHRSON (White 1935) ML. 35". 
Huge globular blooms of medium purple veined and mar¬ 
bled a deeper purple, with a broad yellow beard. This 
seedling of Wm. Mohr, is of easier culture being only one- 
fourth of onco-cyclus parentage. $3.50 
MORNING GLORY (Kirkland 1929) M. 37". 
An especially clean-cut lavender and purple bicolor with 
a handsome beard. A very cheerful iris personality. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
MOROCCO ROSE (Loomis 1937) M. 38". 
An impressive new pink of exceptionally fresh coloring. 
The standards are slightly lighter than the falls and there 
is a slight infusion of yellow at the haft. $15.00 
MOTIF (Sturtevant 1931) EM. 38". 
Rich, glossy pansy-purple; self-colored, and an easy 
grower. This is one of the most handsome of all dark 
irises. Height, habits and branching are faultless. A noble 
garden subject. 35c 
MOUNT CLOUD (Millikan 1936) EM. 37". 
A tall stately blue-white with a finish of satin. The form 
is ideal, standards being rigid and falls broadly rounded. 
Candelabrum branching and a poiseful carriage complete 
the specifications of this distinguished new production. 
$5.00 
MRS. J. L. GIBSON (Gibson 1930) ML. 38". 
In blue, the scarcest of all colors in the floral world, the 
iris is singularly blest. In that glorious pageant of deep 
blues and violets, which the iris can alone display, our 
favorite is that royal beauty, Mrs. J. L. Gibson. Rich, 
velvety, of copious substance, regal form, and excellent 
carriage, it is unquestionably one of the finest of all modern 
iris. Very nearly a self, with inky-black, crepy standards, 
lustrous and silky, — and glossy, slightly flaring falls of 
fine breadth, it typifies the best of the great Dominion 
heritage. Your collection will not be complete without this 
notable new iris. (Mrs. J. L. Gibson is pictured on page 9. 
Because of the effect of violet on the photographic plate, 
the falls show a veining that does not exist for the human 
eye, to which they appear an even, velvety, deep blue- 
violet.) $1.25 
MRS. VALERY WEST (Bliss 1925) M. 36". 
This variety represents the high point of iris development 
up to 1930 (at which time it sold for $20.00 per root). 
Even today it is an outstanding iris. The standards are 
bronzy-purple; the falls like red-brown plush. A noble and 
symmetrical flower. 25c 
MRS. WILLARD JAQUES (J. Sass 1938) M. 34". 
A pinkish toned blend of Noweta and Clara Noyes type. 
Very beautiful. $10.00 
N A RAIN (Shuber 1936) M. 38". 
Rich absolute self marine-blue of great purity with a 
fine silken sheen. The medium sized flowers are well car¬ 
ried. An iris that will fit in the best iris company for many 
years. $5.00 
NARANJA (Mitchell 1935) M. 36". 
A new departure in color; a yellow with a distinct orangy 
overcast on the falls The orange note is subdued rather 
than vivid and the blooms are a bit too broad amidships 
to represent the acme of grace and symmetry, but because 
of the unusual advance in color represented by this va¬ 
riety, it is one of the most talked-of of recent introductions. 
We anticipate that Naranja will become a very popular 
iris. $10.00 
NEBRASKA (H. Sass 1928) L. 36" 
A ruffled deep yellow with ruddy veinings, distinct in its 
up-reaching oval form. A late bloomer of rugged consti¬ 
tution. 25c; 3 for 50c 
NENE (Cayeux 1928) M. 36". 
A gargantuan lilac-purple bicolor. Rather undistin¬ 
guished as to form. 35c
