LORI MAY (DeForest 1941) ML. 30”. 
Harmonious daphne pink shaded rose. Thick petals, 
flaring form, a very pleasant shade; a rather indifferent 
grower. $3.00 
LOS ANGELES. § (Mohr-Mitchell 1927) M. 38”. 
Snowy white throughout save for a slight stitching of 
cerulean blue 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, vigorous, 
well branched. A classic iris that is a cornerstone of any 
collection. 35c 
LOTHARIO (Schreiner 1942) ML. 38”. 
Large, rich, eloquent blue bicolor. Essentially the same 
color pattern of Amigo, Lothario is huge sized on tall branched 
stems. Light blue standards and rich plush blue purple 
falls without veins or mars. Striking in its rich contrast 
and full orange beard. It is the only iris of this color that 
has a copiously large bloom carried on a 38 inch branching 
stem. Lightly frilled. In tremendous demand for years, 
we have been unable to fill the demand. $8.00 
LOUISE BLAKE (Smith 1943) M. 31”. 
Another iris done in the manner of Amigo this iris is not 
large or tall. Standards are wavy and of palest sky blue, an 
effective contrast to velvety rich blue purple falls. It has a 
lovely perfection of tone both sprightly and lively. $10.00 
LOUVOIS (Cayeux 1936) M. 35”. 
The brown iris and a velvety iris too so it is really the 
brown velvet iris. Amazing rich maroon brown enfolds the 
flower. Standards of light chocolate and falls a very rich, 
glossy red-maroon edged to match the standards. Rich and 
sleek without a vein. Not tall but noteworthy for its rich 
color, distinctive and charming. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
LULLABY (D. Hall 1943) M. 36”. 
A large, fullsome orchid pink. The standards and falls

colored flower. $5.00 
LYN LANGFORD (Hall 1946) M. 36”. 
A very smooth colored orchid from the lavender side en- 
livened by an attractive golden center and haft. The colors 
are smoothly blended without veins. It is an attractive 
flower, pleasing, bright and large. Very sturdy stems and a 
most satisfactory grower. $15.00 
MAGIC CARPET (Schreiner 1942) ML. 33”. 
Largest of the colored plicatas marked in the Orloff style: 
Unusual and attractive rose red markings on buff standards 
and gold cream falls. A light fluting adds to the flower’s 
grace. $7.50 
MAIDEN BLUSH (Hall 1943) M. 35”. 
Rich pleasing shade of apricot with asoft blending of pink. 
A pleasing flower with heavily substanced flowers. $3.50 
MAJENICA (P. Cook 1941) M. 36”. 
An exciting salmon tinted pink blend, wide petaled flow- 
ers. A clear, bright, smoothly colored self with very stiff 
lasting substance. A refreshing color bringing the salmon 
tones of Eros into a larger, broader petaled flower of sub- 
stance, branched stems. $3.50 
MANDALAY (Hall 1943) L. 33”. 
A smooth reddish rose self. Falls are held stiffly hori- 
zontal. Though the flowers are not large, this new and at- 
tractive color, individual from every other rose iris, will be 
enjoyed by the enthusiast who wishes to have something 
really different. $3.50

: c 
MARILYN (Schreiner 1943) L. 40”. j f 
Rich medium blue, the result of a cross of Sierra Blue 
and Missouri. A striking feature is the haft which is a rich 
chestnut brown, a beautiful contrast. $1.00 
MARINE WAVE (Schreiner 1941) VE. 26”. 
Very early blooming medium deep blue with a solid uni- 
formity of color even to the blue beard. $1.00 
MARQUITA (Cayeux 1931) ML. 34”. 
An amoena type in cream and watermelon rose. Its lumi- 
nous cream standards, “‘silken, hushed and chaste,” are the 
last work in serene but warm exquisiteness. The water- 
melon-rose falls are veined rather than solidly colored. A 
very lovely iris. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
MARY CLOTILDE (Kinish 1943) M. 36”. 
Large light blue of perfect semi-flaring form on tall, well 
branched stems. Falls broad, evenly colored, no veining at 
the haft. Cool white beard. It promises to displace Shining 
Waters which is tender for us. 
MARY E. NICHOLLS (Nicholls 1939) M. 34”. 
Beautiful, magnolia-like finished iris of frosty cream white 
texture, like a kid glove, with a generous smooth overlay of 
dull gold at the haft. A gleaming white encrusted gold, 
refined and chaste. Such a superior iris should be more ac- 
claimed. It is not large but must we have all huge iris? 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50 
MARY VERNON (McKee 1942) M. 36”. 
Blended variegata of golden bronze flushed standards 
with widely flaring falls of bright ruby red. $5.00 
MASTER CHARLES (Williamson 1943) M. 38”. 
A smooth and refined glowing mulberry purple. A charm- 
ing feature is the flare of the flowers which with its pro- 
nounced sheen gives life to the garden. A mellow note of 
brown blending near the heart of the flower accentuated by 
the bluish undercast makes it one of the most brilliant and 
distinctive iris, rich and finished. $7.00 
MATA HARI (Nicholls 1937) VL. 38”. 
An intense indigo blue purple. Perfect in form, flaring 
gracefully; sumptuously glistening velvet tones. Late 
blooming, it impresses all who see it. What a fine iris to 
mark the closing of the iris blooming season! $1.00 
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; 3 for $4.00 
MATTIE GATES (Sass 1946) ML. 38”. 
The newest iris of the general coloring of Elsa Sass and 
deeper than Golden Fleece. The standards are a bright cool 
yellow, lemon tinted, with falls bright gold banded on the 
crisp white heart of the fall. For beauty and symmetry of 
color this iris is so celestial and pure it is fit for a bridal 
boquet. The finely molded and shaped blooms have a prom- 
inent feature in that continuing beyond the yellow beard is 
a white rooster comb crest of snow white, as distinct as can 
be imagined and to our knowledge the first bearded iris to 
have this individual character that is such a distinguishing 
character of the crested iris as cristata or tectorum. $25.00
