LAKE HURON (Sass 1942): M. 36 in. A very deep and intense 
blue, many shades darker than Great Lakes. When first opening 
the falls are almost blue-black but when fully open they are in- 
tense blue. The standards are also blue with a yellow beard. 
Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
LAKE SHANNON (DeForest 1945): M. 36 in. A very graceful 
flower with wide fluted standards and falls of medium blue. The 
beard is also blue and is tipped with orange. This striking flower 
has the intense blue of a clear blue mountain lake and is very 
effective in the garden. H.M., 1936. Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
LAMPLIGHT (Schreiner 1944): M. 34 in. A very beautiful soft 
blend of tranquil fresh buff self with a mellow glow of a lamp. 
This soft color is without veining and the flower possesses a great 
deal of style and harmony. We like this Iris very much. 
Each $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
LANCASTER (Cook 1940): M. 36 in. A coppery old rose blend 
with a slight touch of gleaming yellow and very broad falls. This 
Iris is distinct from the ‘pink’ or ‘‘rose’’ Iris by its wide seg- 
ments, broad haft and heavy substance. We can recommend this. 
H.M., 1941. Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
LAVENDER and GOLD LACE (Whiting 1946): M. 36 in. A dis- 
tinctive Iris with standards of golden yellow flushed with laven- 
der and edged with a crimped finish. The falls are lavender with 
a distinct frill of gold, so crimped that it looks like a lace edging. 
Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
LEILANI (Washington 1943): M. 35 in. This is a charming and 
entirely different orange-pink Iris. The standards of Venetian 
pink are well domed and firm. The falls are rounded, of the same 
color, with well defined line of deeper pink and have the added 
attraction of a peach-red beard. The smooth textured heavy sub- 
stanced flowers are well spaced on low, wide branched stalks. 
HeilalNae,  (SY235). Each $5.00 
L. MERTON GAGE (Lapham 1942): E.M. 40 in. Light raspberry- 
pink and cream-yellow. In effect a pink Iris with pale salmon 
standards and falls of rosaline pink. The flowers are of medium 
size, produced in great profusion on tall stems. It is a rampant 
grower. H. M. 1942. Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
LORD DONGAN (Smith 1940) : L. 36 in. A striking creation with 
broad standards of Chinese violet and extra heavy velvety falls 
of deepest Pansy-violet, set off with a very thick intense pale 
MAJENICA yellow beard. This is an imposing and very beautiful Iris. A.M., 
1940. Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
LORD OF JUNE (Yeld 1932): M. 36 in. A large lavender-blue 
bicolor that is a fine Iris to use in contrast with reds and 
whites. The standards are very erect and the falls have a slight 
flare. This is a pleasing Iris. Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
LORI MAY (DeForest 1941): M. 33 in. Harmonious daphne-pink; 
very thick petals, excellent flaring form and very pleasing in 
color as it is really very close to a true pink. Especially fine in 
clumps. H.M., 1944. Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
LOS ANGELES (Mohr-Mitchell 1927): M. 38 in. An older but very 
beautiful white and blue plicata that is almost white, the blue 
stitching appears near the haft. This Iris has won A.M. and 
is now in the ‘’Hall of Fame”’. Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
LOTHARIO (Schreiner 1942) : M.L. 38 in. An Iris of great beauty, 
having light lavender-blue standards and rich velvety purple 
falls. The standards and falls are without veins or marks. The 
beard is orange and the flower is lightly frilled. The large flow- 
ers are of the type of Amigo and Louise Blake but much taller. 
H.M., 1945. Illustrated on page 19. Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
LOUISE BLAKE (Smith 1943): M. 30 in. Similar to Amigo but 
slightly smaller. The standards are pale sky-blue with the falls 
being a velvety blue-purple edged in sky-blue. This is an excel- 
lent Iris and is especially fine for foreground planting as it is 
lively in color and well branched. H.M., 1944; A.M., 1947. 
Each $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
LOUIS PASTEUR (Callis 1939): M. 31 in. A white Iris with a de- 
cided yellow tone to it. This Iris does not grow to a very great 
height and therefore makes a good plant for the foreground 
planting. It is not as white as some of the other varieties but 
its low growing habits make it desirable. Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
LOUVOIS (Cayeux 1936): M. 34 in. A very rich velvety brown 
Iris with standards of light chocolate and falls rich red-maroon 
edged like the standards. This French creation has large flowers, 
is of medium height and a very fine Iris. Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
LUCERNE (Salbach 1940): M. 36 in. We believe that this is one 
of the finest and bluest in our collection. Large blooms of clear 
deep blue, almost a self, with standards slightly lighter in color 
than the flaring falls. The flowers are beautifully poised on 
strong stems. Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 
LULLABY (Hall 1943): M. 36 in. A handsome rich orchid-pink. 
The standards and falls are of the same color and the flowers 
are large, rounded, and have no haft markings. The branching is 
MELITZA (See page 22) very good. Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50
