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. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
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. 2}4 ft. 
35c; 3 for 75c 
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. 
2 x /i feet. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
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 2,'-^-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 flowers 
have good substance and the falls flare nicely. 3 feet. $1.00 
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. 3 feet. $5.00 
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 flowers 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. 2f^ feet. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
MOROCCO ROSE (Loomis) 
Hailed as a most outstanding recent introduction, this beautiful 
creation is described as follows: "The flower is large, almost 5)4 
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.’’ $6.00 
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 flowers are five 
inches tall by five inches wide. See page 12. 
"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." 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
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. 75c; 3 for $2.00
