Mapleton, Iowa 

MELAINE (Hill 1940) M. 45 in. A fine 
large pink introduced last year by Mr. 
Hill as Seedling No. 1 Pink. A tall, deep 
pink that grows up to 45 inches in height 
and often has five vlooms open at one 
time. It has less of the blue and orchid 
tones found in most pinks. The color 
tone is on the order of that found in the 
falls of Rameses, tourmaline pink, by 
Ridgway. $6.00 
MIDWEST GEM (H. P. Sass 1937) M. L. 
36 in. This is truly a gem of the Midwest 
Gardens of Mr. Hans Sass, one of the fin- 
est ones to come from that famous gar- 
den. Its unusual and beautiful form as 
well as its delicious coloring give it a 
place of its own among blends. The 
ground color is Capucine buff by Ridg- 
way, a warm peach tone of soft yellow; 
the falls are flushed with orient pink, a 
lusc.ous creamy tone—the whole flower 
with its amply rounded form and delect- 
able coloring reminds one of a large sun 
ripened peach. The crimped edges of the 
petals give it an unusual and fascinating 
effect and it is very fragrant. H. M. 1937, 
Per. R. 90, 1938. $5.00 
MISSOURI NIGHT (Callis 1938) M. L. 30 
in. A large, dark velvety blue self from 
Baldwin x Blue Velvet. It resembles its 
pollen parent more in form and coloring 
but is much hardier and free blooming. 
Strong grape fragrance. R. 88, 1940. 
$3.00 
MOHRSON (White 1935) M. 34 in. A 
worthy son of a renowned parent. We 
have grown Mohrson here for several 
years and find it a most satisfactory gar- 
den subject. Larger, taller and darker 
than William Mohr, it is a stunning speci- 
iuea. When Mr. and Mrs. White visited 
us last spring they were very much 
pleased with its behavior here. H. M. 
1935, A. M; 1937, Per. R: 89, 1938: 50c 
MONADNOCK (Salbach 1937) L. 44 in. 
A new and very unusual color in iris— 
deep rose red or Indian lake by Ridgway. 
It is a near self of excellent form and 
large size, a distinct stand out in any 
planting. Sweetly fragrant. H. M. 1939, 
Per. R. 88, 1940. $2.00 
MOUNTAIN SNOW (Kellogg 1937) M. 38 
in. A cold and glistening white iris of 
beautiful form and proportion. A faint 
blue gives the flower a cool tone yet the 
crests are touched with a pearly pink 
glow which enhances its beauty. The 
substance is especially good, the growth 
and blooming habits all that could be 
desired, a very fine hardy white iris. H. 
M. 1936, Per. R. 89, 1939. $2.00

MOUNT CLOUD (Milliken 1936) E. M. 37 
in. A tall and beautiful white iris that 
still holds a very high place in this class. 
It is particularly clear and clean in its 
whiteness, the blooms are large and of 
pleasing form with a smooth and satiny 
texture and heavy substance. It grows 
and blooms quite well here but is not 
what we would call a completely hardy 
iris for this section. It is sweetly frag- 
rant and well worth a little extra care.

MOUNT WASHINGTON (Essig 1937) M. 
50 in. This has been descr.bed by several 
competent judges as the finest white iris 
in existence. And if it proves to be har- 
dy in the middle west it may lay good 
claim to that distinction. It is large and 
tall, of warm white coloring with heavy 
gold beard and haft markings and broaa, 
semi-flaring falls. The form is most pleas- 
ing—between that of Purissima and Eas- 
ter Morn, even larger than the latter aud 
much taller. It has a most pleasant odor, 
similar to that of wild plum. H. M. 1939, 
A. M. 1940, Per. R. 90, 1940. $4.00
