Over-the-Garden-Wall 
LILAMANI (J. Sass '38) An excellently proportioned iris of deepest 
blue-black. The straight standards are silky textured; the 
semi-flaring falls are completely covered with black velvet, 
the'’broad haft being heavily venated. The medium sized 
blooms are larger and several tones deeper than Black Wings, and 
have fine substance. 36". Late. $7.S0 
LOS ANGELES (M. M. '27) Still near the top in the plicata group. 
The flowers give a frost-white appearance. Magnificent. 42". $.50 
LOUVOIS (Cay. '36) The standards are havana tinted brown and 
the flaring falls are velvety maroon, edged with bronze. Outstand¬ 
ing. 36". $12.50 
LUCRE (White '36) A rich yellow all over the flower, with a bright 
orange beard. Large and fast growing. $2.00 
LUCREZIA BORI (Schr. '35) She sings her own praises, this very 
large yellow of rather dark shade, with the color intensified by a 
deep orange beard. The standards are cupped, broad and ruffled; 
the falls are long and stylishly flaring, sometimes flecked with 
lavender. It is unusual to find an iris of such exceptionally heavy 
substance, that is so delightfully ruffled. 42". H.M. '36. $3.00 
MAGNETAWAN (Kirk. '35) Another copper Indian, captured by 
Dr. Kirkland. The beautiful copperish-brown standards and the Iwge 
vertical copper-red falls form fine blooms on good stalks. 36". $1.50 
MAID or ASTOLOT (J. Sass '36) This "Maid hath a lot" of white, 
with just a bit of blue stitching eilong the throat line. A huge pure 
white, unless studied closely. 45". $2.00 
MARCO POLO (Schr. '36) Traveled far — and we hope the iris 
will, also. It is a clear two-toned red, whose standards are lustrous 
rose and whose velvety falls are brilliant crimson almost devoid of 
reticulations. 36". H.M. '37. $4.00 
MARION (Mil. '31) A blue beauty —- moreover, a porcelain blue, 
with horizontal falls. Quite unmatched. 28". $.75 
MARQUITA (Cay. '31) There are cream standards and falls of the 
same tone, veined almost solidly with watermelon-rose. Large and 
very popular. A.M. '36. $1.00 
MARVELOUS (Kirk. '37) The Marvelous effect is deep yellow, with 
several lines of deep red, painted at the base of the falls. Large 
semi-flaring flowers on fine stalks make a bright mass of bloom. 
40". $8.00 
MARY GEDDES (Wash. '31) DYKES’ MEDAL WINNER in 1936. 
The salmony orange color wins all our hearts, it's so warm and 
pleasing. The stiff standards are light yellow-salmon, the semi- 
flaring falls are the same, overlaid with red. 40". $.65 
MATTERHORN (J. Sass '38) Absolutely the tops in whites, as 
seen on our trip last year. The flower is large and of fine 
proportions; standards are rounded; falls, flaring; the sub¬ 
stance is excellent and the texture smooth. It has a lemon 
to orange beard on a medium haft. A fine, low-branching stalk 
carries 10 flowers on 42" stem. H.M. '38. $15.00 
MAYA (Wash. '34) These Indians are strawberry red, tall and of 
fine stature. The domed standards and velvety falls, that blend 
copp>er and gold at the haft, give us a striking picture. Beard, haft 
and midrib suggest a waterfall turned golden by the setting sun. 
40". $6.50 
MELDORIC (Ayres '30) Larger and darker than Blue Velvet. Not 
a rampant grower with us, but worth trying. 37". $1.00 
MIDWEST GEM (H. Sass '37) A REAL GEM — and we don't mean 
maybe! This Gem from the Midwest is a large soft yellow and pink 
blend of excellent proportion. The fine heavy substance has a 
sparkling glistening texture, as if dusted all over with gold. The 
tips of both falls and standards are serrated and charmingly crinkled, 
as if cut by hand. A beautiful low-branched stalk supports eight 
huge broad flowers. We say "It's a must have." 40". H.M. '37. $10.00 
MING YELLOW (Glutz. '38) YELLOW! WOW! Of Depute Nomblot 
form in a pure deep yellow of even tone, smooth and lustrous 
finish, and of heavy substance. H.M. '38. $30.00 
MINISTRE FERNAND DAVID (Cay. '30) A nice rosy red-purple 
blend with the falls of deeper, velvety texture. 38". $.50 
MIRADOR (Nic. '34) A variegata, large, tall and brilliant. The 
bright yellow standards and the falls of dahlia-carmine, overlaid with 
blue, are of excellent form and substance. 46". $.85 
MISS CALIFORNIA (Salb. '37) Meet Miss California just once, 
and never will you forget her! In a full blouse of coppery 
pink, of smooth texture, and in her flaring skirts, flushed 
violet through the center, with epaulettes and edge of cop¬ 
per, she is indeed a beauty. Perfect form, exceptional substance and 
pleasing proportion naturally come with Miss California. 48". 
H.M. '38. $10.00 
MISSOURI (Grint. '33) DYKES’ MEDAL WINNER 1937. If an 
iris is superb enough to win the Medal, then it is fine enough to be 
in everyone's garden, especially this clear rich shade of medium 
blue, that we adore. The form, substance, proportion are superlatively 
fine. The semi-flaring falls are flushed a deeper tone than the stand¬ 
ards, and are set off by a gold beard. 44". $2.00 
MME. DE BEAUMARCHAIS (Mil. '32) A deep rich crimson with 
brown on the haft and rose shading on the falls. The large pleasing 
flowers of fine form, are sturdily supported by well-branched stems. 
38". $.75 
MME. LOUISE AUREAU (Cay. '34) A charming plicata of trans¬ 
lucent silvery white ground with an overlay of rosy heliotrope, in¬ 
tensifying at the margins. The falls are veined deeper than the 
standards. 36". $10.00 
MME. MAURICE LASSAILLY (Cay. '35) A breath-taking 
amoena. The standards are flax-blue and the falls, violet-blue, edged 
with lavender. 36". Dykes' Medal Winner, France, 1935. $12.50 
MME. ULMANN (Cay. '36) Almost a blue self. The standards are 
blue with a silver reflex; the semi-flaring falls are a little brighter 
blue, with an orange beard. Outstanding form and branching. 36". 
$ 10.00 
MODISTE (Hall '38) Received a "Highly Commended" as a seed¬ 
ling. Soft even tones of mauve-blue never before have been 
laid so smoothly on a large iris of full rounded shape, with 
broad hafts, held up by a sturdy, well-branched 40" stem.
