lay of copper. Nice orange beard. Tall branched stems,

Mr. Hall’s newest sensational blends. HUG RoE Oto lel 
MELANIE (Hill 1941) M. 40”.

A most commendable iris. $2.50 
MELITZA (Nesmith 1940) M. 38”. 
Soft ivory flesh with an underlay of pearliness; the falls 
are slightly deeper. The bright beard, tangerine, is unique

the delicate colors are enhanced. Inclined to tenderness in 
severe climates. $1.50

Luscious deep peach and apricot with a flush of pink.

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. $1.00 
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 
MIOBELLE (McKee 1945) L. 38”. 
‘The surprisingly branched stalks of this variety represent 
a new achievement in the goal to produce more flowers per 
stem by the hybridizers. It is proving to be a valuable 
parent passing on this fine quality to its children. In color 
a lustrous rose self deeper in color and more evenly blended 
than Aubanel. Very good substance, a fine iris from Mr. 
McKee. $8.50 
MISS BISHOP (J. Sass 1942) M. 38”.

haft and throat. Heavily substanced, it has the summer 
freshness of a cluster of Shasta daisies. $3.00

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 
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 of cool yellow and white. $5.00 
MME. LOUIS AUREAU (Cayeux 1934) E. 29”. 
Deepest colored rosy heliotrope delicately dotted and 
plicated on a silvery white background. Striking for its over 
all network and sanding of color. Large, early and free 
blooming. 50c; 3 for $1.25

tured flower. $5.00

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. 
$3.00 
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. $1.00 
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-

breadth. Unquestionably one of the finer iris. 50c

ers have a sprightly freshness, blooms medium sized, slightly 
ruffled. 35c; 3 for 90c 
MULBERRY ROSE (Schreiner 1941) M. 40”.

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. $4.00; 3 for $10.00
