MARY E. NICHOLLS (Nicholls 1939) L. 42”. 
One of the most uniquely styled iris. A flower of elusive 
charm, the entire flower seems to have the finish of a gor- 
geously textured white magnolia. Dramatically accentuat- 
ing the white frosty petals is a smooth overlay of dull yellow 
at the haft. This sharp and handsome contrast of gleaming 
white and encrusted gold gives us one of the finest new iris. 
Not yet well known, we feel it is destined for a great future. 
Flowers are medium sized, splendidly textured. Branched 
stalks. Pictured on page 3. $8.00 
MARY GEDDES (Washington 1931) ML. 38”. 
One of our warmest toned irises, with standards of sal- 
mony-orange and falls of Pompeian red. Winner of the 
Dykes Medal in 1936. Outstanding as a landscape variety 
because of its approach to salmon-orange coloring. A free 
bloomer and quite prolific. 25c; 3 for 50c 
MARY LEE DONAHUE (Gage 1935) VL. 35”. 
A scarce yellow from Massachusetts. The entire flower 
has a sparkle like congealed sunlight blazing on a back- 
ground of finely textured gold. A virgin pure deep golden 
self. Medium sized flowers, very late blooming. $1.50 
MATA HARI (Nicholls 1937) VL. 40”. 
An intense indigo blue purple, brilliant and distinct. 
Perfect in form, flaring gracefully, sumptuously glistening 
velvet tones. It impresses all who see it and being a very 
late bloomer it often does not come into flower until many 
iris are finished blooming. What a fine iris to mark the 
closing of the iris blooming season! $2.00 
MATTERHORN (J. Sass 1938) ML. 38”. 
Definitely the finest pure white in existence today. A 
pure white of faultless, beautifully rounded form, generous 
size and without a trace of foreign color. The haft is utterly 
devoid of markings, producing a chaste immaculate serenity 
such as is reserved only for true self colors, most of all for 
a true white self. A sparkling sheen, firm substance, broad 
flaring falls and splendid branching complete the qualifica- 
tions of this delightful, and important, white ue

MATULA (UH. Sass 1939) L. 38”. 
One of the most unusual blends we have seen. The colors 
are mixed so skillfully and unexpectedly, a warm rosy tan 
and gay cast of blended apricot rose. Medium in tone 
with velvety rosy falls, gold beard. A deep, luscious blend 
which we think superior to anything of its class. $4.00 
MAY DAY (D. Hall 1939) M. 40”. 
A stunning arrival in copper-apricot coloring. Important 
because it represents one of the first achievements in this 
color class with size; a valuable parent as well. A self color 
overlaid and burnished tones of copper on soft apricot, nice 
orange beard. Tall branched stems, fair substance. With- 
out question a distinctive color. $10.00 
MIDWEST GEM HU. Sass 1937) M. 36”. 
A luminous peachy blend of unusual charm. Standards 
fawn gold with a subtle lavender infusion; falls buffy 
pink overlain lavender, suggesting mother of pearl. Size, 
branching, and habits are up to modern Ses 
2.00 
MING YELLOW (Glutzbeck 1938) ML. 36”. 
One of the largest yellows, yet a stately flower, Ming 
Yellow is well substanced and branched and blooms are 
carried with an easy grace. Large, smooth yellow evenly 
toned. Thick substance. Derived from Depute Nomblot it 
brings the character of this fine iris into our yellows; a 
worthy addition. $5.00

| MISS CALIFORNIA (Salbach 1937) M. 40”. 
This iris is another of the newer race of large pinks. It 
is deeper than Morocco Rose in color and slightly veined. 
The beard is lemon yellow, and the flower is a nice lilac 
pink of full form, carried on tall, branched stalks. $1.00 
MISSOURI (Grinter 1933) M. 37”. 
We have always regarded this variety as one of the clas- 
sics of irisdom. The giant blooms of faultless form and 
heavy enameled texture are a clear rich shade of medium 
blue. In every way a splendid iris. 50c; 3 for $1.00 
MME. LOUIS AUREAU (Cayeux 1934) ML. 36”. 
Subtly yet delicately speckled and plicated rosy helio- 
trope on silvery white producing a very original effect. In 
color it can be visualized as a rosy-tinted plicata. Large 
size flowers on stems that are not tall, it deserves a spot in 
the fore part of the border. Illustrated on page 11. 75c 
MME. MAURICE LASSAILLY (Cayeux 1935) M. 37”. 
Here is another iris that reminds us of Amigo. It is taller 
but not quite as rich; sky blue standards, velvety purple 
falls and orange beard. A fine bicolor. $1.50 
MME. ULMANN (Cayeux 1936) M. 36”. 
Blue standards with a silvery reflex and lavender blue 
falls combined with typical Cayeux styling make this 
French production one of charming delicacy. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
MODISTE (D. Hall 1938) EM. 34”. 
An iris midway between blue and lavender in color, an 
odd, cool sort of color. A frothy drift of mist-like mauve- 
blue or light lavender. A self with full rounded flowers, 
good growing habits, sturdy branched stems, lemon yellow 
beard. A fine silky lilac-lavender. $2.00 
MOHRSON (White 1935) ML. 35”. 
Huge globular blooms of medium purple veined and mar- 
bled a deeper purple, with a broad yellow beard. This 
seedling of Wm. Mohr is of easier culture being only one- 
fourth of onco-cyclus parentage. 50c 
MOROCCO ROSE (Loomis 1937) M. 36”. 
A new pink of delicate beauty. Very fine form, addressed 
standards with semi-flaring falls. It is a warm tone of orchid 
pink with considerable yellow in the throat, nice yellow 
beard. The note of pink in this iris is reminiscent of the 
tone of pink in iris Noweta. Morocco Rose, however, has 
size that will amaze chose who believe all pink iris are small. 
(Illustrated on page 8.) $2.50 
MOUNT CLOUD (Milliken 1936) EM. 37” 
A tall stately blue-white with a finish of satin. The form 
is ideal, standards being rigid and falls broadly rounded. 
Candelabrum branching and a poiseful carriage complete 
the specifications of this distinguished new production. 
35c 
MOUNT WASHINGTON (Essig 1937) EM. 37”. 
Medium sized bloom of pure warm white with a golden 
beard and haft attractively marked the same color. Semi- 
flaring falls, it has the form, size and carriage of Shining 
Waters, one of its parents. Well substanced, branched, tall 
bloom stalks. $3.00 
MOUNTAIN SNOW (Kellogg 1937) ML. 38”. 
A blue white that has a crispy quality in the mass that 
gives it a most pleasing effect. The slight bluish cast is 
very pleasing and the flower is centered by a very nice 
golden beard. $2.00
