MARY E. NICHOLS (Nic. '39) "A cream-white with a gorgeous 
v i smooth overlay of dull yellow at the haft. Entirely different 
ri\ in color effect and form from Golden Treasure, but promises 
to be at least as fine." 
$ 12.00 
MME. LOUISE AUREAU (Cay. '34) The plicata from France. 
Translucent silvery white ground with an overlay of rosy heliotrope, 
intensified at the margins. The falls are veined deeper than the stand¬ 
ards. 36". A.M. '39. $3.00 
MARY GEDDES (Wash. '31) You are so warm and pleasing in your 
salmon-orange dress. 38". Dykes Medal '36. 35* 
MATULA (H. Sass '39) Red and orange blend? Yes, and then some! 
The broad domed standards are apricot buff, flushed Congo 
pink; the wide semi-flaring falls are deep Indian Lake, edged 
with buff. Crimpled petals like sister Midwest Gem add a 
certain charm to this gorgeous medley of rich red and orange gold. 
39". H.M. '39. $15.00 
MATTERHORN (J. Sass '38) Your top is always white and may you 
always top the white iris. Need we say you're large and of fine pro¬ 
portions; standards, rounded; falls, flaring; excellent substance; 
smooth texture; and a fine low branching 42" stalk. Perfection, we 
say. H.M. '38 $10.00

The velvety falls, that blend copper and gold at the haft, give us a 
striking picture with the lighter domed standards. 40". $3.50

ing turquoise blue standards contrasted with the smooth 
lacquered falls of sea-green. 24". $5.00

quite as brilliant. Flax blue standards and violet blue falls edged 
lavender. 36". Dykes Medal Winner, France '35. A. M.'39. $3.00 
MME. ULMANN (Cay. '36) This flower greatly resembles Brun- 
hilde in shape and size. The color is lighter, not as pure a self as 
Brunhilde. The falls are purple blue of medium depth and medium 
velvety; the standards have less of the deep rosy tinge of the falls 
and are lighter. 36". $2.50 
MODISTE (Hall '38) La Modiste has fashioned for us this stylish 
tall beautifully robed specimen of a soft even tone of mauve blue —a 
self which has been well rounded; and is full at the hafts and has 
ideal growing habits. 40". $4.00 
MOHRSON (White '35) William Mohr's son, taller, darker, and 
stronger. The blackish red-violet, extra broad petals are varnished, 
crinkled, and ruffled. Easy to grow, too. 40". A.M. '37. $1.00 
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. The buds alone 
are a joy to behold because they are so large and slow to open on 
such sturdy stalks. Late. 44". H.M. '39. $5.00 
MONAL (Wmsn. '36) A beautiful pheasant in our garden? At least, 
the same charming coloring of brown, golden buff and violet heavily 
overlaid with gold. 40". $1.50 
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. $7.50 
MING YELLOW (Glutz. '38) YELLOW! WOW! Of Depute Nomblot 
form in a pure deep yellow of even tone, smooth and lustrous in

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 copper, she is indeed a beauty. 
Perfect form, exceptional substance and pleasing proportion naturally 
come with Miss California. 48". H.M. '38. $5.00 
MISS CAMELIA (H. Sass '38) You miss nothing, you're large, 
ruffled, a perfect clear lavender blue self. 40". 75* 
MISSOURI (Grin. '33) As the mighty Missouri "rolls down to the 
sea", so rolls on in fame and adoration this superlative medium blue 
mass. Fine form and substance of the semi-flaring falls flushed a 
deeper tone than the standards, a gold beard. 42". Dykes Medal 
'37 $1.00 
MME. DE BEAUMARCHAIS (Mil. '32) Deep rich crimson with 
brown on the haft and rose shading on the full falls. 38". 50* 
MOONGLO (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". 75* 
MOROCCO ROSE (Loom. '37) So fresh and delicate, this glowing 
rose-pink with a yellow flush through the center, including the beard. 
So tremendous, so beautiful, and breathtaking — truly a delectable 
iris! one can hardly believe it is real. 38". H.M. '37. $5.00 
MOTIF(Sturt. '31) Glossy pansy purple. 34". 25* 
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. $6.00 
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 (5x5"), 
with flaring falls, are particularly handsome. 50”. A.M. '39. $1.00 
MOUNT WASHINGTON (Essig '37) Out of the purest and cleanest 
snow on top of Mount Washington this fascinating iris seems to have 
been molded into a form between Purissima and Easter Morn, but 
bigger and taller. 50". H.M. '39. $6.00 
MOZAMBIQUE (Mead — Ried. '34) Far or near, this red-violet 
purple iris is brilliant, large, and of fine form. 37". 50* 
MRS. J. L. GIBSON (Gib. '30) This is a great iris, a large, solid, 
velvety deep violet blue, almost a black self of ideal shape. 38". $1.00
