lily of the valley fragrance; midseason; tall. (Bearded). 2.00 
MISSOURI GOLD, (Callis, 1938). (Golden Harvest x W. R. Dykes). This is an 
exquisite iris which attracted all the visitors to my garden last summer. The 
large flowers are a dazzling buttercup yellow with an orange tinge. The falls 
are flaring and of good substance and the whole flower is greatly enriched by 
an orange beard. The large flowers are smoothly finished and have much soft 
gold at the throat. Well branched, five and six blooms well placed on the 
stem. The heavy wind and burning sun did not affect them. Very late. Fra¬ 
grance as Caprice; 36 inches high; of rare color, vigorous and hardy. A beau¬ 
tiful deep green foliage, good healthy rhizomes. Several nursery men were 
here last summer a year ago during its first bloom and wanted to see it the 
second year and said it was the most outstanding iris and sturdy growth, not 
too tall or too short. Looked through a magnifying glass at its carved features 20.00 
MISSOURI NIGHT, (Callis, 1938). (Baldwin x Blue Velvet.) A large rich dark 
velvety blue. When fully expanded it lightens a little but remains self through. 
The flower is large and the falls flare, brilliant orange beard contributes to its 
color. The branching and placement of the flower is one of the good features 
and striking appearance. Long and late bloomer. 30 inches high. Sun and 
rain do not affect this beautiful dark blue iris. This is entirely different from 
the other deep dark blues, really indigo with a sheen. Grape hyacinth fra¬ 
grance. Profuse bloomer.. 20.00 
MITHRAS, (Goos & Koenemann, 1910). S. light yellow; F. brilliant wine red.10 
MME. PACQUETTE, (Lem). A beautiful claret red; a good grower, free bloomer .10
