MATULA (H. Sass 1939) L. 38”. 
One of the most unusual blends. 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. $1.2 
MAY DAY (D. Hall 1939) M. 40”. 
A stunning arrival in copper-apricot coloring. 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, valuable as a breeder. 
$2.00 
MELANIE. (Hill 1941) M. 40”. 
With all the excitement focusing on the new pink blends 
we think that public attention is overlooking Melanie. It 
is one of the very finest pink iris in our garden. It is a lovely 
shimmering orchid-pink with tall stems, ideally branched, 
good form, fine size and wonderful substance. We think a 
great deal of this iris of Mr. Hill’s and we recommend it to 
all our customers. $3.00 
MIDWEST GEM (H. Sass 1937) M. 36”. 
A luminous peach blend with petals adroitly crimped and 
serrated in a most ingenious manner. Unusual both in form 
and coloring it enjoys a place of its own among the blends. 
The warm peach tone with the falls faintly flushed blush- 
pink reminds one of a delicious sun-ripened peach. Pleas- 
antly scented. : 75c 
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. $2.00 
MINNIE COLQUITT (H. Sass 1942) M. 36”. 
A striking wine-red purple bordered on white. Slightly 
ruffled, rounded form, very substantial looking. The bright 
border gives the sharpest contrast of any plicata. Low and 
widely branched stems. $5.00 
MISS BISHOP (J. Sass 1942) M. 38”. 
This is one of the newest whites developed by the Sass’s. 
A pure glistening white with an agreeable smooth yellow 
haft and throat. A heavy glistening substance, it has the 
summer freshness of a bunch of Shasta daisies. $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. 60c 
MISSOURI (Grinter 1933) ML. 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 $1.25 
MME. LOUIS AUREAU (Cayeux 1934) ML. 34”. 
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. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
MME. ULMANN (Cayeux 1936) M. 36”. 
Blue standards with a silvery reflex and lavender blue 
falls combined with typical Cayeux styling make this 
le h duction one of charming delicacy. 
Se aa 40c; 3 for $1.00 
lasts the season. 
MODISTE (D. Hall 1938) EM. 34”. 
A fine silky lilac-lavender. Midway between blue and 
lavender in color. A self with full rounded flowers, good 
growing habits and a pleasing lemon yellow beard. $1.00 
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. 75c 
MOONLIT SEA (J. Sass 1943) M. 38”. 
An innovation in iris colorings in an unheard of combina- 
tion of rich indigo blue, a gold heart, really solid gold haft, 
style arms and beard with no reticulations of bronze or any. 
blending. The liquid cast of the white and blue variegation 
climaxed by a gold throat, like a gold moon rising over a 
dark blue sea, is such that it has to be seen. This iris is so 
novel and different it is apt either to be passionately liked 
or equally disappointing. It is highly original. $10.00 
MOROCCO ROSE (Loomis 1937) ML. 36”. 
A delectable rose-pink. Its warm coloring has a soft 
yellow glow at the heart and a pleasing yellow beard. 
Popular and in heavy demand, our supply of roots never 
Takes two years to become established. 
$1.50 
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. 35¢ 
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. 40c; 3 for $1.00 
MRS. J. L. GIBSON (Gibson 1930) ML. 38”. 
In blue, the scarcest of all colors in the floral world, the 
iris is singularly blest. Rich, velvety, of copious substance, 
regal form, and excellent carriage, Mrs. J. L. Gibson is 
unquestionably one of the finer iris. Very nearly a self, 
with inky-black, crepy standards, lustrous and silky, — and 
glossy, slightly flaring falls of fine breath, it typifies the 
best of the great Dominion heritage. Your collection will 
not be complete without this notable iris. 50c 
MRS. WILLARD JAQUES (J. Sass 1938) M. 34”. 
A most pleasing pink toned blend. ‘The color is an in- 
describable admixture of pinkish-bronze. The flower has a 
sprightly freshness, blooms are medium sized, slightly 
ruffled, and exquisite color. 40c; 3 for $1.00 
MULBERRY ROSE (Schreiner 1941) M. 40”. 
One of the most imposing new iris blooming in our garden. 
Unlike any other iris. A radiant, delectable, lovely mul- 
berry rose — an unusual shade in the deep pink class. Its 
intrinsic value is its novel color, striking in the garden and 
unusual because of its color. Size of the blooms is large, 
stem tall and well branched displaying the beauty of the 
flower to fine advantage. This past season one of America’s 
leading growers wrote us that Mulberry Rose was one of 
the most unusual new colors to be developed in iris in the 
last three years. We consider it one of the finest iris we 
have offered. (Pictured on page 22.) $8.00 
NARAIN (Shuber 1936) EM. 38”. 
Rich absolute self marine-blue of great purity with a 
fine silken sheen. The medium sized flowers are well car- 
ried. An iris that will fit in the best iris company for many 
years. 35c
