MOHRSON (White '35) The Son of Willieun Mohr grown up taller, 
darker and stronger. The blackish red-violet, broad petals are var¬ 
nished, crinkled and ruffled. Fascinating, 40". A.M. '37. $2.25 
MONADNOCK (Salb. '37) The mountain is as old as the hills; the 
iris is a new color, rose-red, dominating the garden from afar, as 
does the mountain dominate the horizon. A huge flower with flaring 
falls, having a yellow beard and sturdy substance. 44". Late. $8.00 
MONAL (Wmsn. '36) Brown, golden buff and violet, heavily over¬ 
laid with gold, are unusually blended together into a large, smooth, 
well-rounded flower of very heavy substance. 40". $3.25 
MOONGlfO (Wmsn. '35) Moonlight on water! After all the shades 
of golden yellow, brown and copper were blended to make this 
beautiful iris, someone dipped a brush in blue, pink and white, and 
splashed each fall with a stream from beard to edge. This soft yel¬ 
low blend has the heaviest substance of any, has delightful flaring 
form, and has won all our hearts. 32' '. $1.50 
MOON MAGIC (Shull '31) A smooth, luminous light yellow self, 
with flaring falls and heavy substance. 36". $.50 
MOROCCO ROSE (Loom. '37) What lovely rose shades they have 
in Morocco! So fresh and delicate, like this glowing rose-pink with 
a yellow flush throughout the center, including the beard. So large 
(5H"), so beautiful and breathtaking — truly a delectable iris! One 
can hardly believe it is real. Pinker than At Dawning, and does not 
fade. A grand iris. 38". $10.00 
MOUNTAIN SNOW (Kell. '37) Snow on the mountain top, just be> 
fore sunrise! A glistening white that carries, in its faint blueness, a 
memory of the night just past; a white, touched at the heart with the 
pearly tint of the coming sun. The broad standards are large and 
ruffled; the almost horizontal falls are broad, both in haft and blade; 
substance is excellent. 42". H.M. '36. $12.50 
MOUNT CLOUD (Mill. '37) As white as the whitest clouds, away 
up high, piled up and billowed, cleared and cleaned by the breezes, 
smoothed and polished by the gentle winds. The large flowers 
(5 X 5"), with flaring falls, are particularly handsome. 50". $2.50 
MOUNT WASHINGTON (Essig '37) If you should mount Mount 
Washington you would be sure to find snow of the purest and cleanest 
quedity. Out of this snow, the iris. Mount Washington, seems to have 
been molded, into a form between Purissima and Easter Mom, but 
bigger and taller than the latter. It has a golden beard, golden haft 
markings, and a very heavy substance for a white. 50". $10.00 
MOZAMBIQUE (Mead -Ried. '34) Far or near, this red-violet — 
purple iris, with rounded petals, is large in size, fine in form, tall 
and stately. 37". $1.00

falls, heavily veined with white at the haft. Striking. $1.50

and flaring. This sprite has a creamy throat and is very large. 38".

NARANJA (Mitch. '35) Orange in color, startling in effect and 
gorgeous in the garden. Marvelous large blooms, with standards of 
a glowing orange, and similar falls with wide, bronze flushed edges — 
several on very fine stalks. 40". A.M. '37. $3.50 
NARONDA (Hall '34) "Blue, darkly, deeply, beautifully blue! I 
adore this self, dressed in a satin cloak, so wonderfully heavy in 
material, so shimmering in sparkling sheen, and with edges so 
gracefully waving — soft, not stiff, but firm. The cloak is beautifully 
cut, always full round edges, and perfectly fits the tall slender stalks. 
Altho' this iris seems to have missed much comment in writing, you 
should hear its praises sung in our garden. My favorite blue!" (Mrs. 
G.H.K.) 44". $1.00 
NATOMA (Salb. '35) The "cinnamon" iris. The soft, yet rich tones 
of the pinkish cinnamon standards, and of the bronze and old-rose 
falls, are most attractive. 36". $1.00 
NEMACOLIN (Hall '37) A clean, sharp variegata. The standards of 
this fcdrly large flower, of good form, are lustrous yellow, the falls 
are solid bright velvety Bordeaux, with a yellow beard. 30". Late.

tall candelabrum-branched stalks. 48". Late. H.M. '36. $1.00

bright red-violet falls, as well as with its unusucilly large blooms dis¬ 
tinctively held on strong stems. Vigorous. 40". $.50 
NO-WE-TA (H. Sass '32) Just a mass of pink frills with a glint of 
yellow showing through them. Low-growing and charming. 32". $.50 
OJIBWAY (Kirk. '35) This copper-colored Indian is bright coppery 
tan on top and rose-copper below, with much yellow underlay, giv¬ 
ing a coral velvet effect. Like all Indians, this one is tall, well-poised 
and vigorous. 40". H.M. '36. $1.50 
MRS. J. L. GIBSON (Gib. '30) This is a great iris, a large velvety 
deep violet blue, almost a black self. 38". $2.00

with arched standards and flaring falls. It has deeper yellow haft- 
markings and a dull gold beard. 36". $4.00 
MRS. WILLARD JAQUES (I. Sass '38) Delightful in pinkish tones, 
made up from the charming pink iris, No-we-ta, and the 
Talisman rose iris, Clara Noyes. This iris has, an Iowan 
y writes, "an indescribable translucent quality that is most ap¬ 
pealing." $5.00 
ORIANA (H. Sass '33) "Our favorite white of medium height" — 
there is a pure marble surface on these large full flowers, with 
round smooth petals and broad, flaring falls. It must be a marble of 
Carrara, so exquisite it is in texture, so flawless in character, so 
strong and sturdy. 32". H.M. '33. $.75 
ORLOFF (H. Sass '38) A yellow plicata, in which the flushing is 
almost venations. The standards are deep yellow at the base,

I with a white area where the haft ends. Beard is yellow, 
orange tipped; style arms yellow, tipped with cinnamon. 
Eight rounded, semi-flaring blooms on a stalk of super-fine branch¬ 
ing. Excellent flowering habit and growth. 36". $15.00
