MARIETTA *** (Cay. ‘38) pastel shades, 36’. $6.00 
A truly French combination of colors with pale yellow rounded 
standards, and falls flushed at the edges with this shade, and 
centered with ever so delicate a shade of blue. So lovely! 
MARION ** (Mil. ‘31) little blue beauty, 28”. 35c¢ 
Crisp and different, you charming porcelain blue with brisk hori- 
zontal falls, you’re cute, you rascal you. 
MARISHA **** (J, Sass ‘39) finest pink blend, 38’’. $2.50 
We believe this will top the pink blends in popularity, first because 
of its pure pink tones blended at the heart with pale gold, second 
because of its profuse well performing blooms of medium size 
which are so gracefully frilled. Late. 
MARQUITA **** (Cay. ’31) large cream striped pink, 38”. 50c 
MARVELOUS *** (Kirk. ‘37) yellow lined red, 40’. $1.00 
True marvel of nature with citron yellow petals, with the falls so 
brighty reticulated a deep coral rose. 
MARVISTA *** (Hall ‘39) buff and brown, 36”. $7.50 
Deep colonial buff standards with a broad border of dark vinaceous 
veinings, and velvety light garnet brown falls, margined hazel. 
Bringing warmth and beauty to your garden. 
MARY E. NICHOLS **** (Nic. ‘39) lively cream white, 42’’. $8.00 
Satiny in texture is this warm cream white, with an exceptional 
gold overlay at the haft. The very firm flowers are well spaced 
on fine low branched stems. A most aristocratic iris! 
MATA HARI **** (Nic. ‘37) ink purple, late, 40’’. $2.00 
One of the latest blooms to appear in the garden, Mata Hari adds 
deepest velvety blue purple blooms, with delightfully flaring 
petals, to lengthen out the all too short period of the iris blooming 
season. 
MATTERHORN **** (J. Sass ‘38) white perfection, 42’. $4.50 
No purer white glistens; nor more gracefully waved arched stan- 
dards, nor delicately ruffled semi-flaring broad falls could be 
desired in a white. It tops them all, with its extraordinary refined 
clarity devoid of haft markings and reticulations. Recipient of 
the coveted Award of Merit in ‘40. P.R. 89. 
MATULA **** (H. Sass ’39) rose blended apricot, 39’. $5.00 
Crimpled petals give tremendous charm to this gorgeous medley 
of rich rose and orange gold. The broad standards are apricot 
buff and flushed pink, the wide falls ,deep bluish rose edged buff. 
MAYA *** (Wash. ‘35) strawberry red, 40”. 75¢ 
A tall red, the color and stature of the old Mayas, with domed 
standards and very velvety falls that blend copper and gold at 
the haft. P.R. 89. 
MICHELANGELO *** (Weed ‘36) dark vinaceous gray, 43’’. $2.00 
Quite different in tone from any other iris. A seedling of Jean 
Cayeux, it is much darker, and shows no blue, purple, or red 
undertones, but is rather like a dark gray dove. 
MIDDAY (Peck. ‘41) yellow blend, 36’. $7.50 
An appropriately named iris, in that at mid-day its attrac- 
tive soft colors of yellow and peach are especially luminous. 
Very floriferous—12 blooms to a stalk, with short foliage. 

MIDWEST GEM **** (H. Sass ‘37) peachy blend, 40’. $1.25 
A REAL GEM—is this large soft yellow and pink blend of excel- 
lent proportion. The fine heavy substance has a sparkling, glisten- 
ing texture, as if dusted all over with gold—giving a peachy tan 
effect. The tips of the petals are charmingly crinkled and ser- 
rated. A beautiful low-branched stalk supports eight huge flowers. 
We say “It’s a must have.”

MING YELLOW *** (Glutz. ‘38) deep large yellow, 36’. $3.00 
Derived from Depute Nomblot, this surprisingly large yellow em- 
bodies the fine form and substance of Depute. The smooth toned 
blooms are aptly carried on nicely branched, firm stalks. 
MISS CALIFORNIA **** (Salb. ’37) lilac pink, 48’. .. $1.00 
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, tinted violet, and edged of copper, she is indeed a beauty. 
Perfect form, exceptional substance, and pleasing proportion 
naturally come with Miss California. 
MISS CAMELIA *** (H. Sass ’38) lavender blue, 40’’. 65c

MISSOURI **** (Grin. ‘33) excellent blue, 42’. 50c 
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. In ‘37, won the Dykes Medal. 
MME. LOUIS AUREAU *** (Cay. ‘34) plicata, 36”. 75c¢

lay of rosy heliotrope, intensifed at the margins. The falls are 
deeper veined than the standards. A.M. ‘39.

even though you are not quite as brilliant. Flax blue standards 
and violet blue falls edged lavender. A.M. ‘39. 
MME. ULMANN ** (Cay. ‘36) blue lavender, 36”. $1.00

not as pure a self. The falls are purple blue of medium depth, 
the standards have less of the deep rosy tinge of the falls and are 
lighter. 
MODISTE *** (D. Hall ‘38) soft blue, 38’. $1.75 
Soft blue lavender self, all misty, cool and refreshing. The large 
flower has broad hafts and full rounded shape. Strong well 
branched stalks. 
MOHRSON *** (White ‘35) deep violet hybrid, 35’. 50c 
This huge globular deep violet flower is a far better grower than 
its parent Wm. Mohr. The broad petals are crinkled and pebbled. 
MOKI ** (Thole ’38) brown, 30”. 35¢ 
A vastly improved Zuni in color and rounded form. 
MONADNOCK **** (Salb. ‘37) tall rose lavender, 38’. $1.25 
As the mountain stands out in the horizon, so does this superb tall 
iris in the garden with its bright lavender rose-red color over all, 
with its huge size and its flaring falls. Excellent substance, 
and a particularly STURDY stalk make this another ‘‘must have.” 
MONAL *** (Wmsn. ‘36) golden buff and violet, 38’. $1.00 
The beautiful pheasant coloring of brown, golden buff and violet 
heavily overlaid with gold. 
MOONGLO **** (Wmsn. ‘35) glowing tan blend, 32’. 50c 
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 flaring 
fall with a stream from beard to edge. H.M. ‘36. P. R. 89. 
MOUNTAIN SNOW *** (Kell. ‘37) crisp blue white, 42’’. $2.00 
Snow on the mountain top, just before sunrise! A glistening white 
that carries, in its faint blueness, deep memories; 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.
