LADY MOHR. See front cover and page 3. 
LADY NAOMI (Fay 1941). A new plicata 
with very unusual markings. The stand- 
ards are a pale lavender. The ground color 
of the falls is white so heavily lined and 
dotted lavender that the white is hardly 
visible. Large blooms on 40” stems. 
Orange beard and pale orange markings 
on the haft. Mid-season............ $7.50 
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”......... 50c; 3 for $1.25

of the flower. Mid-season. 30”...... $7.50

LOUISE BLAKE (Kenneth Smith 1943). 
An iris in richest contrasting shades of 
light blue and deep violet. Standards are 
light lavender blue and the broad flaring 
falls are a very rich deep velvety red 
violet. The light lavender blue edging on 
the falls accents the rich shades of this 
superb iris. Somewhat of the same color- 
ing of the popular Amigo but taller of 
stem and larger of bloom. Certain to be- 
come immensely popular when stock is 
more plentiful. Mid-season......... $20.00 
-- LUCERNE (Salbach 1940). (Shining Waters

Lucerne.

blooms of a clear deep blue, almost a 
self, with standards slightly lighter in 
color than. the flaring falls. The blooms

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”.

*CARL SALBACH? 

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:

fine in every particular, color, branching, 
vigor of growth, etc.” 40”........... $4.00 
MEXICO (Kleinsorge 1943). Attractive big 
bi-color with golden standards and broad 
falls of glowing red brown. Falls are some- 
what waved. Standards rather tall and

form reminds one of a Mexican straw hat. 
Good grower. Late. 40”.............. $7.50

nous apricot yellow, slightly flushed pink.
