Mary Geddes Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
Had the distinction of being an American introduction that 
received an Award of Merit in England, where so many fine Iris 
are produced. The color is hard to describe, but it is one of the 
finest. An attempt at a description would be, a lovely blending 
of soft pink tones, overlaid Pomeranian red. This gives but a 
faint idea of its great beauty. There are 8 to 10 flowers to a 
stem and they are nicely branched. 
Matula Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
A very beautiful blend that is extremely difficult to describe. 
One of the best American authorities 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. 
May Day Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
A stunning apricot-orange, a luscious color with an overlay of 
copper. Nice orange beard. Tall branched stems, good sub- 
stance, a distinctive color. A perfectly charming and distinct 
Iris of great merit. 
Melitza Each $1.75 
A new variety that has received much favorable comment. 
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. It is fine in every particular, color, 
branching, vigor of growth, etc. 40 inches.

SNOW FLURRY 
The handsome flowers are strikingly 
frilled and ruffled; this applies to both 
falls and standards. The effect is charm- 
ing, giving the flowers. a sort of dancing 
effect. The pure white blooms are faintly 
flushed with blue which creates’ a cool, 
icy effect. We consider Snow Flurry one 
of the finest of the new Iris.

One of the largest, stateliest yellows, Ming Yellow is well sub- 
stanced and branched, and blooms are carried with an easy

substanced. A worthy addition. (See illustration, page 74.)

Very fragrant. Awarded the Dykes Memorial Medal, highest 
international honors for 1937, as the outstanding Iris of the

flaring velvety falls and excellent substance. Has every good 
quality. Height 44 inches. 
Mme. Louis Aureau Each 60c, Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00 
This heavily dotted and sanded Plicata from Cayeux is a rival 
of the series now so popular from the Sasses. It has a ground 
color of silvery white, closely netted with rosy heliotrope. A 
very large blossom. 
Mountain Sky Each $1.00, Three $2.50, Doz. $8.50 
The bluest of blue Iris! A uniform, soft blue; there is a suf- 
fusion of yellow in the center of the flower which intensifies the 
blue as well as adds a warm glow. The standards and falls are 
wavy and very substantial. There are many flowers on a strong 
stem and Mountain Sky is an excellent grower. It is tops in 
blue Iris! An English Iris expert wrote of Mountain Sky: “‘I like 
this better than any Iris | have ever seen.’’ The flowers are 
exquisite. Apart from its beauty, two of its outstanding points 
are long lasting qualities, either against bad weather or when 
used as a cut flower, and its fine perfume. There is nothing 
better in our opinion than Mountain Sky. (Color illustration, 
page 74.)
