LA LORRAINE (Ayres 1940) ML. 33”. 
A collaboration of two, three or more colors unexpectedly 
assembled yet so smoothly and artfully combined the effect 
is a most pleasing soft pastel blend. The main color is 
fawn with an overlay of coppery pink, falls lightly tinted 
heliotrope or lavender mallow. The smooth finish of the 
chamois-like substance blends imperceptibly to suffusion 
of gold at the throat. Not tall, moderately branched, its 
gleaming crystalline silver iridescence carries as lovely cop- 
per pink; good sized blooms. Rigid standards, semi-flaring 
falls recalling K. V. Ayres in form. $5.00 
LANCASTER (P. Cook 1940) M. 36”. 
A pronounced emphasis is given to the broad form of this 
flower. Flat pendant falls, very heavy substance. In 
coloring — fluid swirls of deep pink to old rose. A dash of 
yellow gleams imperceptibly to give the flower light from 
below and gives the pink tones just the faintest hints of 
tan-pink. Both floriferous and hardy. $15.00 
LIGHTHOUSE (Salbach 1936) L. 34”. 
A most unusual coalition of colors, a clear old rose to 
rose-red light bicolor. A torch-like center of yellow sends 
slithering streams of gold from the heart of the flower. 
Good substance and smoothly textured. 75c 
LILAMANI (J. Sass 1938) M. 38”. 
Striking new blue-black, dusky yet richly glowing. The 
blooms are large with broad, thick velvety falls. Sturdy 
stalks, very tall. A free growing, imposing development in 
our violets. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
LORD DONGAN (Kk. Smith 1940) M. 37”. 
Striking solemn new purple composed of Chinese violet 
standards and spaciously broad rounded falls of a very 
deep plush, solidly colored, pansy violet. A warm toned 
beard provides a sparkling contrast to rich tones of the 
flower. $10.00 
LOS ANGELES (Mohr-Mitchell 1927) M. 38”. 
Snowy white throughout save for a slight stitching of 
cerulean at the haft and at the base of the standards and 
a beard of soft yellow-gold, Los Angeles is an exquisitely 
sculptured beauty with the finest satin sheen — tall, vig- 
orous, well-branched — a classic iris that is a cornerstone 
of any collection worthy of the name. 25c; 3 for 60c 
LOUVOIS (Cayeux 1936) M. 35”. 
Incredibly, amazingly rich and lustrous! The brown iris. 
A wealth of rich maroon brown enfolds the flower with 
standards of light chocolate brown and falls a very rich, 
glossy red-maroon with a chocolate border along the edge 
of the petal; nice gold beard. The color is very rich and the 
flower is pure, remarkably free from veins. From a dis- 
tance it looks like two tones of chocolate, a harmony of 
brown. Not tall but noteworthy for its rich color and defi- 
nite margined fall. Richly endowed with qualities ensuring 
lasting distinction and charm. $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
LUCREZIA BORI (Schreiner 1935) VL. 40”. 
Delightfully ruffled and fluted the falls are slightly deeper 
in color than the standards and have a bronze-olive reflex 
which pales shortly after the bloom opens. Large, late 
blooming, dusky deep yellow. Well substanced, branched, 
good height. 25c; 3 for 60c 
MARCO POLO (Schreiner 1936) E. 37”. 
Named after a colorful personality of the Middle Ages. 
A large clear-toned bicolor with lustrous rose standards and 
brilliant, velvety, crimson falls. The color is solid without 
detracting venation. A fine orange beard contributes a 
sprightly touch of contrast. One of the most handsome of 
the reds. 25c; 3 for 60c
