brownish red iris. Golden standards, 
brownish red falls. Mid-season. 25”. 
25c; 3 for 60c 
LIGHTHOUSE (Salbach 1936). A fine, 
glowing iris, given its name because the 
whole center of the flower lights up as 
if there were an electric light bulb hidden 
in the center. Standards old rose, falls a 
shade of coppery red. Blooms large and 
of heavy texture—fine branching habits. 
Described by one of the A. I. S. judges as 
“A real stand-out as a beacon light in 
the garden.” Hardy and a good vigorous 
grower. Late. 36”.

duced some years ago but still one of the 
best white plicatas. Large white blooms 
of fine form and good substance, faintly 
edged blue with blue style arms. Tall and 
widely branched. Hardy and vigorous.

LUCERNE (Salbach 1940). (Shining Waters 
x Brunhilde). We have many splendid 
blues growing in our fields, but none have 
attracted the attention of visitors as has 
Lucerne. 
An iris of ideal growing habits. Large 
blooms of a clear deep blue, almost a 
self, with standards slightly lighter in 
color than the flaring falls. The blooms 
are of heavy substance, beautifully poised 
on tall, well-branched stalks. One of the 
finest blues. Mid-season. 36”. 
$1.50; 3 for $3.75; 10 for $10.00 
MARQUITA. One of the finest French va- 
rieties. The largest and most distinct of

and a clear creamy yellow, falls deep 
cream heavily veined and overlaid rose.

MATTERHORN (Jacob Sass). A new white 
that has been the subject of much praise. 
One of the best authorities in America 
says: “Close to the top of the white class. 
A very fine and very clear white flower 
of good form.” It is a large flower with a 
cream beard on the flaring falls. Low 
branching stalks, with 9 to 10 blooms 
each. Very pure. A superb white. Mid-

MATULA (H. P. Sass). A very beautiful 
blend that is extremely difficult to de- 
scribe. One of the best American authori- 
ties says: “A magnificent pink blend as 
seen at Sass’ and elsewhere.” A prominent 
grower says: “A warm rosy tan and gay 
cast of blended apricot rose.” We describe 
it as a pink and apricot blend, but more 
on the pink. Late mid-season. 30”. 
$2.00; 3 for $5.00 
MELDORIC. Flowers of blue-black, and 
very large. Gold beard. Good habit and 
branching. Hardy everywhere. H. M., A. 
LS., 1931. Mid-season. 30”. .25c; 3 for 60c 
MELITZA (Nesmith 1940). A new variety 
that has received much favorable com- 
ment. Standards are a delicate ivory pink, 
the falls are of the same coloring with a 
slightly deeper flush around the beard, 
which is intense pinkish tangerine. One of 
America’s best iris authorities says: 
“Nothing I saw impressed me more. It was 
fine in every particular, color, branching,

MIDWEST GEM (Hans Sass). A very large 
luminous apricot yellow, slightly flushed 
pink. Both standards and falls are slight- 
ly crinkled at the edges. One of England’s 
best authorities on iris says, “This is a 
superb iris and apparently a vigorous 
grower.” A fine iris in every way. Mid- 
season. 36”. .$1.00; 3 for $2.50; 10 for $7.50 
MIRASOL. Very clear deep yellow of med- 
ium size, that is perfectly hardy every- 
where. Thrives especially well in the Mid- 
west and Eastern states. Mid-season. 30”. 
25c; 3 for 60c; 10 for $1.75 
MISS CALIFORNIA (Salbach 1937). At last 
a beautiful and entirely distinct iris in the 
orchid-pink shades. Produced from a 
cross definitely planned for pinks, Miss 
California was easily the choice from 
among a number of pink-toned seedlings. 
Blooms are large, carried on tall stems 
that are not especially low branched, but 
the blooms are not crowded. Very vigor- 
ous grower, rapid increaser and perfectly 
hardy. Much admired by our many visi- 
' tors and invariably referred to as “that 
orchid pink.” Early. 48”...%75¢e; 3 for $2.00 -
