LADY PARAMOUNT (C. G. White) 
This was the first of the great yellow irises. Since it was introduced 
other large yellows have been produced but none have more charm 
than this beautiful iris with its enormous petals of soft, clear primrose 
yellow. Discriminating iris specialists consider it an ideal of iris 
beauty. All other large yellow irises will sooner or later have to 
stand the test of comparison with this marvelous variety, for it has 
a standard of excellence. It has been successfully grown from coast 
to coast. See illustration, page 9. Early. $1.25/ 3 for $3.00 
LEGEND (Wareham) 
This outstanding variety has not received the attention it so justly 
deserves. The flowers are indeed striking with their falls of rich 
deep claret, seemingly of pure velvet, and their standards of deep 
blue, slightly bronzed. A strong grower with large flowers on 3^ 
foot stems and a midseason to late bloomer. 35c,- 3 for 75c 
LOS ANGELES (Mohr-Mitchell) 
A stunning large white flower of fine shape and excellent cande¬ 
labra branching. The standards are faintly edged with clear blue, 
the falls slightly reticulated red brown at the base, with the blue 
■style arms adding a note of clear color in the center. A flower that 
is at once admired for its poise and clean sparkling appearance. 
4 feet. See illustration, page 13. 35c; 3 for 75c 
LOUDOUN (Fendall) 
This is an odd combination of yellow, lined and dotted with 
chestnut. The flower is large with flaring falls. A good show variety 
that appears early in the season and has a long blooming period. 
2H feet. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
LUCRE (C. G. White) 
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 prolific in bloom and increases rapidly. 
A two-year plant produced thirty-six stems of bloom. There are no 
dark veins in the haft. $1.00,- 3 for $2.50 
MABEL TAFT (Wareham) 
One of ‘the world’s largest irises,” having enormous blooms on 
tall powerful stems and large luxuriant foliage. The flowers are 
violet-blue with sheen of velvet on the falls. 50c,- 3 for $1.00 
MARGERY (Dean) 
Standards of light blue-violet and falls of deep violet. An attrac¬ 
tive and desirable landscape iris for the milder climates. 4 feet. 
25c ; 3 for 50c 
MARQUITA (Cayeux) 
A Spanish dance in a flower. Something entirely different that is 
so striking that it immediately attracts your attention. The standards 
are a very clear ivory flushed with yellow and the falls are the same 
color, evenly veined with brilliant ruby lines. The petals are stiff 
and round, giving a very trim appearance to the flower. If you wish 
to light up a spot in your garden with gay colors, try a clump of 
Marquita. Over 3 feet tall and a strong grower. $1.00 
MARY GEDDES (Washington) 
The Dykes Medal winner for 1936. It has held its popularity 
through the years since it first bloomed because of its unusual blend 
of soft salmonish pinks and light reddish tones harmonized by the 
ever-useful lavender shades. It is not a very large nor tall iris but 
adapts itself well to flower arrangements and makes an unusual and 
attractive mass of color in the garden. It is quite dependable. 
50c; 3 for $1.00 
MAUNA LOA (Berry) 
A tall, large flowered well-branched iris of decided merit. The 
reddish flowers are very conspicuous in the garden. It is of Mes- 
opotamica parentage and flourishes in California. 4 feet. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
MELDORIC (Ayres) 
The demand for this iris is such that dealers have difficulty in 
maintaining a sufficient supply. The deep blue-black flowers with 
their rich golden brown beards add a deep note of contrast to the 
garden picture and yet in spite of the deep rich color, Meldoric 
possesses a luminosity unequalled by most other dark toned irises. 
75c; 3 for $2.00 
MIDGARD (Sass) 
An outstanding iris greatly admired by all who see it. The color 
combination is yellow deeply flushed with rose pink. The medium- 
size perfectly formed flowers are borne on 2J4-foot stalks. 
25c; 3 for 50c 
MISSOURI (Grinter) 
The 1937 Dykes Medal winner. A little darker than Sierra Blue 
and not so blue in tone as Shining Waters and Early Mass. There is 
considerable purplish-brown in the haft. The newly opened Rowers 
have good substance and the falls flare nicely. $2.00 
MISS CALIFORNIA (Salbach) 
The new blended lilac-pink from the Salbach gardens. A cross of 
Dauntless and Desert Gold, this iris is in the same color range as 
China Maid. Vigorous growth, good shape, and large firm-textured 
flowers. $10.00 
MODOC (Essig) 
This remarkable iris has a velvety depth of color that is unsur¬ 
passed. It gives the effect of being almost black, although in reality 
it is a very deep rich purple mixed with shades of dark brown. 
Very large flowers and a striking iris. 2T£ feet. 25c; 3 for 50c 
MOHRSON (C. G. White) 
For many years iris hybridizers throughout the country tried, 
without results, to produce a William Mohr seedling. Mr. C. G. 
White was the first to meet with success in this endeavor, and has 
given us Mohrson. Being a cross of William Mohr by a pogon iris, 
Mohrson is but one-fourth oncocyclus. It is a charming and unusual 
iris, more vigorous than its parent, and showing unmistakably some 
of the desired oncocyclus characteristics. 
The Rowers are simply enormous, with standards a rich, clear, 
deep violet with a cockled and varnished surface and ruffled edges. 
The color in the falls is effected by close veins and is a beautiful 
shade of violet. 2H feet. $1.50 
MOROCCO ROSE (Loomis) 
Flailed as a most outstanding recent introduction, this beautiful 
creation is described as follows: "The flower is large, almost 5)^ 
inches long. The standards are a lustrous pale pink, flushed deeper 
pink with a soft yellow flush at the base. The falls are long and semi- 
flaring of deep rosalene pink. The garden effect is a glowing rich 
pink. 38 inches.” $10.00 
MOUNT CLOUD (Milliken) 
There is something about this iris that makes it stand out as different 
and superior to most white irises. It is particularly clear and clean 
in its whiteness: the surface of the large petals is smooth and polished. 
The veins in the haft accent the unusual purity of this superb Iris. 
It blooms on stems more than fifty inches tall and the Rowers are five 
inches tall by five inches wide. See page 5. 
"I could not find a single fault in this iris. A cool blue-white, free 
blooming and splendid iris,” says an Illinois customer. 
From Massachusetts comes this word of praise: "In my opinion, 
Mount Cloud comes as near to being perfect as you can get in any iris. ” 
$3.00 
MOZO (C. G. White) 
With medium to large flowers on a 30-inch stem, Mozo is cer¬ 
tainly outstanding in this group of gem-like irises. The ground color 
of the flower is creamy yellow and both standards and falls are 
strikingly veined in bronze red. The falls are darker than the stan¬ 
dards due to closer veining. Parentage is (Sofaran x Susiana) x 
Yellow M. Early. $1.50 
NARANJA (Mitchell) 
The first of the new large yellows with a definite orange tone. A 
truly striking new introduction that “gleams like a topaz in the 
sun.” Described as follows: “Richest of all the yellows, thanks to 
the definite orange cast on the falls. Distinctly orange while in bud, 
and so striking in color that it brought the first offer before the first 
bud had started to unfurl. Stands tall and straight, with huge blooms, 
having excellent substance.” 
Naranja is a strong and rapid grower and our excellent stock 
allows us to list this new variety at a very reasonable price. $3.00 
NATIVIDAD (Mitchell) 
One of the most refined irises we have ever seen. A warm cream 
self lighted in the center with a glow of soft yellow and sprinkled 
as with tiny beads of glistening dew. Natividad possesses all the 
grace and distinction that its name implies. 3 feet. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
NEON (Salbach) 
A tall variegata with bright, well formed standards and red- 
purple falls. It received considerable praise from eastern iris en¬ 
thusiasts last year. $1.25 
NEW ALBION (Essig) 
A sister seedling of Easter Morn, but quite distinct in form, color 
and substance, and also producing quite a different garden effect. 
The flowers are pure waxy-white with fine clean cut standards and 
nicely-formed flaring falls. 35c; 3 for 75c
