MATTERHORN (J. Sass 1938) EM. 38”. 
The finest pure white. Of faultless, beautifully rounded 
form, generous size without a trace of foreign color. The 
haft is utterly devoid of markings producing a chaste im- 
maculate serenity such as is reserved only for true self 
colors. A sparkling sheen, firm substance, broad flaring 
falls and splendid branching complete the qualifications of 
this fine white iris. $1.50 
MATULA (H. Sass 1939) ML. 35”. 
One of the most unusual blends. A warm medley or rose, 
rich orange, crimson and buff. Large flowers are airily 
waved and crimped; superb substance and a rugged plant. 
$1.00 
MAY DAY (D. Hall 1939) M. 38”. 
A stunning apricot-orange, a luscious color with an over- 
lay of copper. Nice orange beard. Tall branched stems, 
fair substance, a distinctive color. The parent of many of 
Mr. Hall’s newest sensational blends. 75c 
MELANIE (Hill 1941) M. 40”. 
Many of the newer pinks are blended. Not so Melanie. 
It is a lovely shimmering orchid-pink with tall stems, ideally 
branched, good form, fine size and wonderful substance. 
A most commendable iris. $3.00 
MELLOWGLOW (Whiting 1942) M. 38”. 
Luscious deep peach and apricot with a flush of pink. 
A most pleasing color in a nicely formed flower of good pro- 
portions with smooth hafts and rich beard. $20.00 
MIDWEST GEM UH. Sass 1937) M. 36”. 
A luminous peach apricot lightly flushed pink. Petals 
attract attention because of their adroit crimping. Immense 
flower and fine stem. 75c 
MING YELLOW (Glutzbeck 1938) ML. 36”. 
One of the largest, statliest yellows, Ming Yellow is well 
substanced and branched and blooms are carried with an 
easy grace. Large.clear, rich, smooth yellow evenly toned, 
thick substanced. With plant habits derived from Depute 
Nomblot, one of its parents it brings the character of this 
fine iris into our yellows; a worthy addition. $1.50 
MINNIE COLQUITT (H. Sass 1942) EM. 35”. 
A striking, massive wine-purple bordered plicata, entirely 
different from all the others. The heart of each petal is 
pure white with the broad stitching repeated in both the 
standards and falls. A handsome flower, lightly ruffled, 
thoroughly fine in every way. $5.00 
MIRABELLE (Whiting 1941) M. 38”. 
Long oval formed blooms; a light creamy apricot blend 
with a touch of pink in the falls. A delicate color with sur- 
prising long lasting qualities and heavy substance. $10.00 
MISS BISHOP (J. Sass 1942) M. 38”. 
A pure glistening white with an agreeable smooth yellow 
haft and throat. Heavily substanced, it has the summer 
freshness of a cluste of Shasta daisies. $3.50 
MISS CALIFORNIA (Salbach 1937) M. 40”. 
Enormous lilac-pink, a pleasing tone with a lemon yellow 
beard. A prolific growing variety and a most satisfactory 
garden subject. Strong foliage, tall, branched stems, blooms 
over a long period. 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 
MISTY GOLD (Schreiner 1943) ML. 33”. 
Some iris are loud and brilliant in the garden. Others are 
entrancing with their delicacy and winsomeness. Such an 
iris is Misty Gold. A lilting, crinkle-petaled, lemon-toned 
iris with a gold braiding along the perimeter of the petals 
giving a most effective foil to the cool soft lemon cream 
shadings in the center of the flower. Broad petaled, fluted 
and revolute it will delight the stylist with its sculptured- 
like blooms. $7.50 
MME. LOUIS AUREAU (Cayeux 1934) E. 29”.

cata. Large flowers on moderately short stems. 50c

lavenders. Flowers of full rounded form and broad haft; a 
pleasing lemon beard. 1.00

blue with solid gold heart and white and gold variegations 
throughout the flower, novel and entirely different. The 
haft is heavily burnished toward the center of the flower. 
$5.00 
MOLLY MAY (DeForest 1944) M. 36”. 
Very large, full formed, creamy pink blend; falls just a 
little darker than the standards. $6.00 
MOROCCO ROSE (Loomis 1937) ML. 36”. 
A delectable rose-pink. Its warm coloring gives a soft 
yellow glow at the heart; a pleasing yellow beard. Popular 
and in heavy demand, our supply of roots never lasts the 
season. Takes two years to become established. $1.50 
MRS. J. L. GIBSON (Gibson 1930) M. 35”. 
Rich, velvety, thick substanced flower of regal form and 
excellent carriage. An inky blue-purple nearly a self. Lus-

MULBERRY ROSE (Schreiner 1941) M. 40”. 
An imposing iris that is really different. A self of radiant, 
lovely, mulberry rose — an unusual shade in the deep pink 
class. Its intrinsic value is its novel color that stands out 
from afar in the garden. Large sized blooms, self colored, 
tall stemmed and well branched, displaying the beauty of 
the flower to fine advantage. Considered by authorities as 
one of the most unusual new colors developed in iris in a 
number of years. $6.00 
NARAIN (Shuber 1936) E. 38”. 
Rich, absolute marine blue of great purity with a fine 
silken sheen. Early blooming, very broad foliage, nice

many years. One of the best blues at any price. 35c
