MOONLIGHT MADONNA (J. Sass, 1943) Each $1.50 
Of the same shade of lemon-ice as Elsa Sass, with better form, 
larger flowers and distinctive ruffling. Self colored, it is the 
lemon tone iris we have all been waiting for. H. M., A. I. S. 
1948. 
MOONLIT SEA (Sass) Each 50c 
From Mr. Sass. Standards white, heavily flushed lavender-vio- 
let. Falls white, heavily flushed lavender-violet, darkening to 
mulberry-purple on lower edge. Exquisite gold center. 
MONADNOCK (Salbach, 1937) Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
Very brilliant pinkish rose, a large flower that blooms very late 
in the season. We have no other iris in this shade—a deep but 
very bright tone of rose with golden beard. Husky stems reach 
4 feet, well branched. 
MOROCCO ROSE (Loomis, 1937) Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
M. 40 inches. H. M., A. I. S. 1937. Beautiful pink-rose self. 
Flowers have a soft yellow glow at the heart and bright gold 
beard. 
MOUNTAIN SKY (Milliken) Each 75c, 3 for $1.50 
Exceptionally fine, medium blue with a suffusion of yellow in 
the center of the flowers that adds a warm glow to the iris. 
MOUNTAIN SNOW Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
A cool white, as the name implies, with a very faint suggestion 
of blue shadow on the falls. A New England introduction with 
size and height to satisfy any critic, and with very broad falls 
and thick substance. 
MRS. WILLARD JACQUES (Sass, 1938) Each 30c 
M. 34 inches. Daintily frilled and of large sized blooms, this iris 
is really of a deep pink shade, overlaid with apricot. 
MULBERRY ROSE (Schreiner, 1941) Each $1.00 
M. 40 inches. A. M., A. I. S. 1944. An innovation in the iris 
world. Deep radiant mulberry rose self showing a brown shade. 
The beard is a heavy bronze. Flowers are large and of fine 
form and substance, growing on tall well branched stalks. 
NARAIN (Shuber, 1936) Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
E. M. 38 inches. A crystal clear blue with a silky shimmering 
sheen. Soft blue beard tipped with yellow. 
NARANJA (Mitchell, 1935) Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
The first iris of huge size with a definite orange tone. Falls 
are ochraceous orange, with yellow heart, and the standards 
are bright empire yellow, the beard orange yellow. It gives a 
pronounced orange effect in the garden. 
NENE Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
38 inches. This very stunning iris sometimes measures 9 inches 
long, with petals of heavy kid-like substance. The standards 
are soft lilac and the falls rich old rose, the general effect being 
red. 
NIGHTFALL (Hall, 1942) (H. M., 1940) Each $1.00 3 for $2.00 
The falls are a very velvety rich dark pansy purple with almost 
no veining on the haft. The standards are several shades light- 
er than the falls, making a very striking color combination. The 
36-inch stems are well branched. Substance and form excellent. 
It is a strong grower and a free bloomer. 
NIGHTINGALE (Hall, 1942) (H. M., 1944) Each $1.25 
The color is new and very attractive, a glistening golden russet. 
The form and substance of the large flowers is good. The 36- 
inch well branched stems are strong. 
NOWETA Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
A beautifully frilled soft pink and yellow blend with a flush of 
electric blue in the falls. 
NYLON (Whiting, 1940) Each 50c 
M. 36 inches. A smooth light caramel blend with large blooms 
of ruffled form, good substance and growing habits. 
OLA KALA (J. Sass, 1943) Each $2.00, 3 for $5.00 
A very dark yellow self. Light cadmium according to Ridge- 
way. Medium large ruffled flowers on 36-inch well branched 
stem. 
OLD PARCHMENT (Kleinsorge, 1939) Each 50c 
M. 39 inches. A. M., A. I. S. 1941. Like the treasured pages of 
long ago; incredibly gossamer, yet strong textured flowers of 
ivory white with an overlay of golden dust. Standards are 
domed, falls flaring in this large long lasting iris. 
OMAHA Each 35c 
A beautiful coral red self with orange beard, producing a very 
striking contrast. The color effect is deep and brilliant pink 
rather than red, and the petals have a glistening and fragile 
appearance, although on the contrary they stand up perfectly. 
Height 24 inches. 
ORANGE FLAME Each 60c 
Shades of burnished golden orange and copper. Very large, bril- 
liant flower. A very fine thing from Mr. Salbach. You will 
like it. 
OREGON TRAIL (Kleinsorge) Each $2.00 
A big heavy flower of smoothly blended shades of tawny sal- 
mon. A rich gold beard and odd soft brown areas surmounting 
the falls. 
ORLOFF (H. Sass, 1937) Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
M. 33 inches. Orloff has been likened to a sprinkling of cinna- 
mon on eggnog. The creamy yellow ground is overlain a rich 
cinnamon brown, which is more intense on the standards than 
on the falls. Medium sized blooms of fine form and good 
branching. 
ORMACO Each $1.50 
A cross of Aztec Copper and Ormohr. The color is an odd blend 
of violet with much bronze and brown. 
ORMOHR (Kleinsorge, 1937) Each 50c, 3 for $1.00 
M. 40 inches. The giant flowers are of soft gray lavender deli- 
cately veined with violet and flushed with a soft rosy glow. 
It is tall and well branched and grows well here. Slightly fra- 
grant. 
OSSAR (H. P. Sass, 1937) Each 30c, 3 for 75c 
32 inches. A glowing dark brown red, neither large nor tall, but 
a blaze of rich color. Well proportioned, well branched and a 
very profuse bloomer, especially suited to the front of a border. 
OZONE (J. Sass, 1935) Each 30c 
36 inches. A very unusual and most appealing color. A smooth 
lavender of soft but luminous quality—it seems almost phos- 
phorescent. It might be described as a deep, pearly mauve, but 
as the play of light affects its iridescence it approaches blue, 
pink and lavender. It is given striking personality by the 
smooth spot of copper at the haft. 
PAINTED DESERT (Milliken, 1943) Each $2.00 
Gorgeous coloring of the Arizona desert blended into a stately 
iris reaching 4 feet in height. A soft buffy tan with brownish 
suffusion at the haft and violet mid-ribs in the standards. A 
light violet patch at the end of the beard adds a contrasting 
touch. 
PASTELLA (Hall) Each $2.50 
A large Remembrance, several shades darker, the darker tones 
are close to lavender. Extra well branched. Really a sensation 
in our garden and in our colored movies. 
PATRICE (DeForest, 1945) Each $3.00 
Plicata with light cream standards flushed rosy lavender. Falls 
patterned soft rose. 
PATRICIA Each 50c 
A very clean and sparkling white, semi-flaring in form, with 
both standards and falls frilled and fluted at the edges. Not a 
giant in size but very lovely and a welcome addition where size 
has been an over-emphasized feature. 
PEACHBLOW (H. Sass, 1943) Each $1.50 
A pinkish plicata with yellow ground cover. The combination 
of soft yellow and pink gives it a very “peachy” appearance. 
This is another and quite different iris in the interesting Sass 
plicata series. 
PEACH GLOW (Kleinsorge, 1943) Each $3.00 
A seedling of Daybreak and another truly beautiful almost true 
peach pink iris. While the individual flowers are large and 
perfectly proportioned, it is as a garden clump that this lovely 
creation is startlingly effective. The tall wiry stems bear a 
great number of flowers which last from early midseason to 
late. As colorful and luscious as a bowl of Georgia peaches.
