Saint Paul, Minn 
LADY PARAMOUNT, (White, ’32). 44 
in. A tall and beautiful yellow which 
caused a sensation when first shown 
in California. A perfect self of clear 
primrose yellow, the large lustrous 
flowers are gracefully carried on tall, 
well-branched stems. H.M., ’3 2, A. 
M., ’36. $3.50 
LARGO, (Ashley, ’31). Blending of 
yellow shades, brown and mauve. 3 6 
" in.25c 
LEGEND, (Wareham, ’32). Huge 
flowers of crimson claret. A fine red 
that is sure to go a long way in the 
red class .35c 
LIGHTHOUSE, (Salbach, ’36). A fine 
bold iris given its name because the 
whole center of the flower lights up 
as if there were an electric light bulb 
hidden among the style branches. 
Standards old rose (Ridgway) except 
for the gold that lights the whole bot¬ 
tom-central portion of the standards. 
The “lighthouse” effect is increased 
by the gold of the beard and style 
branches. Falls slightly redder than 
the standards, being rose-red (Eu¬ 
genia red by Ridgway). Unquestion¬ 
ably bound for real popularity, due to 
its entrancing contrast of colors $7.50 
LODESTAR, (Hall, ’25). S. lemon 
chrome; F. velvety claret brown with 
a lemon chrome border. We know of 
no other variegata as distinct as this 
one. 36 in.50c 
LOS ANGELES, (M. & M., ’27). Giant 
white flowers of fine shape and sub¬ 
stance, the standards faintly edged 
pale blue. The light blue style adds 
a note of clear color in the center. 
4 2 in.3 5c 
LUCRE, (C. G. White, ’36). According 
to color charts it is the deepest yellow 
it is possible to produce. Any deeper, 
'or darker, yellow drifts into the 
orange tones. The slender but rigid 
stems of this iris are forty inches, 
with two or three branches. It is pro¬ 
lific in bloom and increases rapidly. 
A two-year plant produced thirty-six 
stems of bloom. There are no dark 
veins in the haft. $5.00 
LUOREZIA BORI, (Schreiner, ’35). 
H.M., A.I.S., ’36. One of the fine new 
yellows. The S. are translucent Em¬ 
pire to Primrose Yellow; F. as deep 
as California Gold, paling slightly at 
base. Quite a large, well-formed 
flower. 42-45 in.$8.00 
MABEL TAFT, (Wareham, ’32). A 
giant Dominion violet blue, particu¬ 
larly outstanding among Irises of this 
color class.50c 
MAGENTA, (Cayeux, ’27). Standards 
and falls of deep amethyst violet; a 
glorious and distinct color of great 
purity and intensity. 3 6 in.3 5c 
MAID OF ASTOLAT, (J. Sass, ’36). L. 
4 5 in. The lovely tall, fine blue and 
white plicata that has been so much 
admired under No. 3 3-8. Considered 
by many to be the very finest pli¬ 
cata . $7.50 
MARCO POLO, (Schreiner, ’36). 3 7 in. 
Named after a colorful personality of 
the Middle Ages, this variety is one 
of the contenders today for the honor 
of being the reddest iris. It is a large 
clear-toned bicolor with lustrous rose 
standards and brilliant, velvety, crim¬ 
son falls. The color is solid without 
detracting venation. A fine orange 
beard contributes a sprightly touch of 
contrast. One of the most handsome 
of the newer reds. $7.50 
MARQUISETTE, (Cayeux, ’26). A new 
distinct shade; a shrimp pink self, 
slightly striated maroon at the throat. 
42 in.25c 
MARQUITA, (Cayeux, ’31). 34 in. An 
amoena type in cream and water¬ 
melon rose. Its luminous cream 
standards, “silken, hushed, and 
chaste,” are the last word in serene 
but warm exquisiteness. The water- 
melon-rose falls are veined rather 
than solidly colored. A very lovely 
iris . $2.00 
MARY ELIZABETH, (Kirkland, ’29). 
A large, well formed flower of a most 
attractive color. The various colors 
in the petals and style arms seem 
combined into one harmonious whole 
of rosy brilliance, with darker vel¬ 
vety falls. A flower of rare beauty 
and grace. 36 in.2 5c 
MARY GEDDES, (Wash., ’30). S. light 
ochraceous salmon; F. of the same 
color, overlaid with Pompeian red. 
In color it strikes a new note, being 
a self of light ochraceous salmon. A 
very outstanding color in the new 
blend class. 40 in. H.M., A.I.S. 
’30. $1.00
