Maple Valley Iris Gardens 
MICHELANGELO (Weed 1936) M. 43 in. 
A distinct new color in irises, a dark, 
vinaceous gray self, most attractive and 
interesting. It is not only unusual, it is 
really very handsome in the proper set¬ 
ting which is among lavender or pale 
yellow irises. It is large, well formed 
and well branched. It has not thoroughly 
proved its hardiness here. H. M. 1937. 
R. 85, 1938. $8.00 
MISS ARAVILLA (H. P. Sass 1938) M. 
36 in. A brilliant variegata blend of gold 
and chestnut red, brighter than King Tut, 
of which it is a seedling. Its vivid colors 
will brighten any dark corner. It is of 
medium large size and good form on a 
beautifully branched stalk. The plants 
are very vigorous and bloom profusely. 
$1.00, 3 for $2.50 
MISS CAMELIA (H. P. Sass 1938) M. 40 
in. A large and shapely flower of clear 
lavender blue—a perfect self of fine ruf¬ 
fled form. A clump of this among soft 
light yellows is most effective. The stalks 
are tall and well branched, the plant 
most dependable in growth and bloom. R. 
86, 1938. $1.00, 3 for $2.50 
MISSOURI (Grinter 1933) M. 40 in. A 
grand blue iris of medium tone and ex¬ 
ceptionally pure coloring. The flowers 
are large, with widely flaring falls, the 
substance heavy and lasting. Tall, well 
branched stalks and strong, free bloom¬ 
ing, hardy plants add what it takes to 
make a good, all around iris. H. M. 1933. 
A. M. 1935. Dykes Medal 1937. Per. R. 
90, 1936. A good record. $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
MOHRSON (White 1935) M. 30 in. A 
hardy, easily grown seedling of the fa¬ 
mous William Mohr. It is taller, larger 
and deeper in coloring, with better 
branching. The large, ruffled flowers are 
of light violet very heavily veined 
throughout with deep petunia violet. It 
grows well here and blooms freely. H. 
M. 1934. Per. R. 89, 1938. $1.50 
MONOMOY (McKee 1936) M. 38 in. A 
fine, large, dark blue purple iris that is 
always much admired in our garden. It 
is rich, and brilliant in spite of its dark 
coloring—making a beautiful contrast 
with deep yellows. The stalks are tall 
and well branched, the plants have good 
blooming habits. H. M. 1934. R. 88, 
1936. $1.50, 3 for $3.50 
MOONGLO (Wmsn. 1935) M. 36 in. A 
luminous and lovely flower of deep 
orange yellow, like the harvest moon. It 
is flushed but not dulled with darker 
tones of brownish violet. This flower 
must be seen to be fully appreciated—as 
it is hard to describe its exceptional qual¬ 
ities. It is large and most shapely, with 
splendid substance and good branching. 
It grows taller for us than 36 in., and is 
an outstanding iris in our garden. H. M. 
1936. Per. R. 89, 1928. $1.50 
MRS. J. L. GIBSON (Gib. 1930) L. 38 in. 
A really splendid dark violet blue self. 
Its deep color and lustrous finish make 
it a beautiful accent among lighter blue 
or white irises. Gold Medal, England, 
1930. R. 89, 1937. $1.00, 3 for $2.00 
MRS. WILLARD JAQUES (J. Sass 1938) 
M. 36 in. A very charming blend of pink 
and yellow, warm and smooth in tone 
and graceful in carriage. The flowers 
are daintily ruffled and pleasingly placed 
on the stem. A perfect garden blend as 
it grows easily and blooms freely. Not 
yet rated. $5.00 
NARAIN (Shuber 1936) M. 38 in. A clear 
and refreshing shade of blue, this iris is 
named for a water spirit whose image 
may be seen in a deep blue lake in Thi¬ 
bet. Even the beard is a soft blue, lightly 
tipped with yellow. The large flowers 
are of good form with flaring falls, the 
stalk good and the plant very dependable. 
R. 88, 1938. $2.50 
NARANJA (Mit. 1935) M. L. 40 in. A 
very rich, deep yellow self with an orange 
overlay on the falls. A distinct new color 
in iris, it has been much in demand, out¬ 
standing in the garden and at shows. For 
a striking contrast this is a good com¬ 
panion for Missouri. It is perfectly hardy 
and free blooming here. H. M. 1936. A. 
M. 1937. Per. R. 91. 1936. $5.00 
NASSAK (H. P. Sass 1938) M. 38 in. This 
is considered by many to be the very 
finest of the new, hardy plicatas. The 
large white flowers are cleanly marked 
with a bright blue plicata edge, and are 
beautifully formed. The stalk, plant 
growth and blooming habits are all that 
one could ask. Not yet rated but very 
good. $1.00 
From New Jersey—I love your catalog and wish my order could be bigger. 
Member A. I. S. 
From Delaware—Thank you so much for the planting suggestion and the extra 
root to complete it. All the rhizomes were fine—large and firm.
