FAIRMOUNT GARDENS il 
JUNIOR MISS (Graves 1949) M. There is a growing 
demand for border iris, and Junior Miss is especially adapted 
to foreground planting. Few of this type of iris have the 
charm and refinement of this creamy yellow self. Firm 
substanced slightly ruffled flowers with no venations to 
detract from the smooth almost satiny finish. Very free 
flowering. Delightful planted in front of taller blues and 
purples. 24 in. $2.50 
KATHERINE FAY (Fay 1945) M. This is considered one of 
the best whites and has won high praise especially in the 
middle west. The standards are ruffled and tightly closed, 
the falls are semi-flaring with enough ruffling to take away 
any tailored appearance. H.C., A.I.S. 1944. H.M., A.I.S. 
1945. A.M., A.I.S. 1947. 35 in. $2.00—3 for $5.00 
KATIE BELLE (G. Douglas 1947) M.L. A large lustrous 
blend. Similar in color to Brown Thrasher but much more 
briliuant. A most floriferous iris with ruffled firm substanced 
flowers on sturdy well branched stalks. 38 in. $1.50 
KEARSARGE (Graves 1946) M. L. Large flowers with the 
coloring shading more to lavender and not as light in tone 
as Helen McGregor. The domed standards are broad, the 
falls arched and flaring with firm texture. The blooms are 
beautifully poised on widely branched stalks. 42 in. $2.00 
KEENE VALLEY (K. Smith 1949) M. This large flowered 
iris has been described as a more refined edition of Blue 
Valley. It is deeper in color with the large blooms of ruffled 
flaring form evenly spaced on sturdy well branched stalks. 
H.M., A.I.S. 1950. 40 in. $20.00 
LADY BOSCAWEN (Graves 1946) M. Frilled and ruffled, 
this very pure white seems to be even more lovely than the 
previous whites from Dr. Graves. A very large clear white 
self with broad fluted standards and extremely flaring falls 
delightfully ruffled. The substance is strong and firm and 
the flowers are well spaced on tall graceful stalks. An iris 
that always impresses one with its purity of color and 
beauty of form. H.C., A.I.S. 1948. H.M., A.I.S. 1946. A. M., 
A.I.S. 1948. 42 in. $5.00 
LADY LOUISE (Graves 1947) M. L. Distinctive in both color 
and pattern, the large, broad ruffled standards of Colonial 
buff (Ridgway) are roundly domed and firmly held by the 
very strong midrib. The falls are iridescent white with a 
clear fluted border of Colonial buff, widening each side of the 
orange beard, and blending in to the slightly deeper buff of 
the styles. The fascinating buds are an added attraction with 
their olive yellow coloring contrasting strongly with the Lime 
green midrib, and showing plainly the ruffling of the flowers 
even in the folded buds. Firm substanced flowers, four way 
branching stalks. H.M., A.I.S. 1947. 44 in. $8.00 
LADY MOHR (Salbach 1944) E. M. A distinctive iris that 
has charm and grace to a marked degree. It is entirely 
different in color from any iris with oncocyclus blood. The 
flowers are large and of rounded form with standards of 
oyster shell white, cupped and firmly held. The falls are 
chartreuse yellow with a lovely large red-violet blotch 
which radiates out into the fall and adds to the beauty of 
the flower. Good branching and firm substance. H. M., A.

LAKE BREEZE (Fay 1945) M. Large ruffled light blue with 
just a suspicion of pink on the center of the standards and 
falls. A descendant of Gloriole it has the same glistening 
finish, good substance and branching. H.C., A.I.S. 1944.

LAKE GEORGE (K. Smith 1945) M. L. A self of blue 
violet (Ridgway) shading darker at the hafts. The standards 
are roundly domed. The falls are very flaring with no 
color other than blue showing on the hafts. The garden effect 
is a smoothly finished blue with trim flaring form. AK Om

LAKE SHANNON (De Forest 1945) M. Clear medium blue 
with broad petaled flowers and superbly branched stalk that 
allows three flowers to be open at one time without any 
crowding: 4 Hi M., A. 17S, 1946) 36 in: $3.00—3 for $7.50 
LELA DIXON (G. Douglas 1949) E. We need blue plicatas 
that have a clear color pattern, good branching, and sturdy 
stalks that will not blow down at the slightest provocation, 
and this iris meets these requirements. A seedling of Blue 
Shimmer, it has lost the flexible stalk, but kept the color. 
In fact, the blue is more clear, and the white more pure. The 
well shaped flowers are of rather rounded form and have 
smooth firm texture. The stalks have excellent branching. It 
is hardy and a good grower. It blooms about the same time 
as Dutch Boy, thus adding another to this class of early tall 
bearded iris. 36 in. $8.00 
LIGHTS ON (Lapham 1946) M. Mr. Lapham has produced 
many fine red iris, but this one is considered the best of his 
that has been introduced. The clean cut flowers are of uni- 
form color with no veining to detract from the smooth 
finish. Medium in height, but very pure red in color. H.M.,

LOTHARIO (Schreiner 1942) M.L. A rich blue bicolor with 
the same general color pattern as Amigo, but with larger 
flowers and much taller stalks. A popular iris. H.M., A.1I.S. 
1945. 38 in. $1.50-—3 for $3.75 
LOUISE BLAKE (K. Smith 1943) M. A delightful iris with 
chicory blue standards and velvety falls of deep violet 
bordered by a rim of pale blue. The sharp contrast between 
standards and falls is most effective. H.C., A.I.S. 1942.

LYNN LANGFORD (D. Hall 1946) M. The color of this iris 
is most distinctive with its orchid pink tones, enlivened by 
the golden throat and beard. The flower is large, of good 
form, and the color is most pleasing. A lovely iris of charm 
and refinement. Hig CreeAte late LOA ee ee Mier be Sa GAG

MARY ELLEN (McKee 1947) L. The Ox-blood red flowers 
(Maerz and Paul) are very large and have great depth of 
color, yet there is a brilliance about them that is seldom 
found in a red iris. The closely domed standards are firmly 
held by the heavy Green gold midrib. The falls are wide, 
velvety, flaring, and finished with a ruffled marginal edging 
of Rosy red that is exactly the same shade as the standards.

MARY VERNON (McKee 1942) M. A blended variegata with 
gold standards lightly flushed with red. The falls are rich 
Chianti ruby with a narrow border of gold. Excellent form 
and good branching, H.C., A.I.S. 1941. H.M., A.I.S. 1942.

MASKED BALL (Buss 1949) M. A most unusual and attrac- 
tive plicata that has received high praise in the midwest. At 
a distance it gives the impression of a reverse amoena. The 
closely domed standards are heavily flushed and veined with 
deep rich purple while the semi-flaring falls of pure white 
are bordered with the same purple as the standards. Good 
substanced flowers, strong well branched stalks. 32 in. $12.50 
MASTER CHARLES (Williamson 1948) M. A most im- 
pressive iris of rich glowing mulberry color. The flowers 
have a wonderful finish and the branching is exceptionally 
good. H.M., A.I.S. 1944. A.M., A.I.S. 1946. 38 in. $1.50 
MATTIE GATES (Sass Bros. 1946) M. L. Similar in color 
pattern to the iris Golden Fleece, but much brighter and deep- 
er in tone. The standards are lemon chrome; the falls have 
a white center broadly bordered with the same clear yellow. 
A delightful iris with firm wax-like substance. H.M., A.I.S.
