BEARDED IRIS—Continued 
LOUVOIS (Cayeux 1936) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
The finest dark brown iris with a velvety finish. 
LUCKY STAR (Marx 1950) Each 1.50 
Crossing Amigo with Shah Jehan produced this intriguing 
iris of rounded form and largest size. Standards are creamy 
yellow, falls are the same color tinted blue which vanishes as 
the flower ages. A lovely new cream and a remarkable color 
considering it parentage. The globular flowers are perfectly 
placed on well branched 3 foot stems. Early to midseason. 
LYNN LANGFORD (Hall 1946) Each 3.00 
Occasionally we see a new iris which is much more beautiful 
than anticipated. This is one. A lustrous lavender pink self 
except for the golden yellow glow in the center. Large flowers 
of excellent texture and substance. 
MAGIC CARPET (Schreiner 1942) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Heavily marked plicata on the order of Firecracker with a 
light color pattern. 
MAJENICA (Cook 1941) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
A large pinkish blend with just a tint of salmon. An iris of good 
habits and especially colorful in large clumps. 
MARQUITA (Caycux 1931) Each .50 
Every iris collection should include this glorious variety. The 
extra large standards are pure cream or ivory, the falls the 
same color but completely veined dark rose red. A rather late 
variety. 
MASTER CHARLES (Williamson 1943) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
A rich refined iris of glowing mulberry purple. And the flar- 
ing form adds more charm. 
MATTERHORN (J. Sass 1938) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
For those who want the purest white iris at a reasonable price. 
Large graceful flowers without a trace of foreign color. There 
is no veining on the hafts and even the beard is white. 
MATTIE GATES (Sass 1946) Each 7.50 
Sprightly and refreshing and the brightest of the “ice yel- 
lows’’. Something like Golden Fleece but much brighter and 
clearer in color. Large lilting flowers of sparkling lemon yel- 
low with a large white blaze on each fall. 3 feet. Midseason. 
MELANIE (Hill 1941) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Very close to true pink, this splendid iris of lovely form on tall 
well branched stems is of highest quality. 
MELITZA (Nesmith 1940) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
A pale flesh pink iris with the unique and flashy tangerine 
beard. At its best in part shade. 
MELLOWGLOW (Whiting 1942) Each 2.00 
One of the finest varieties from the Whiting garden and ac- 
claimed as one of the best blends today. The ruffled flowers 
are peach or apricot tinted pink with a conspicuous beard. 
A gorgeous creation. 
MEXICO (Kleinsorge 1943) Each 1.50 
Rich and colorful is this huge variegated blend. Golden bronze 
standards and brick red falls edged golden amber. Massive in 
plant and flower and a most imposing iris. 
MIDWEST GEM (H. Sass 1937) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Large buff and pink blend of unusually heavy substance. And 
the edges of the falls are intensely ruffled. 
MING YELLOW (Glutzbeck 1938) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
An enormous flower and the largest yellow we grow. Smooth 
color, excellent substance and a heavy orange beard make 
this a most worthwhile variety. 
MINNIE COLQUITT (H. Sass 1942) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
One of the most striking new plicatas we have seen. Entirely 
different, the immense flowers are white with wine purple 
borders. A robust grower. Picture on page 11. 
MIRROR LAKE (Muhlestein 1947) Each 1.00 
A lovely clear blue that always evokes much admiration. De- 
lightfully flaring flowers poised on tall well branched stems. 
A new variety deserving much more attention. 
2 
MISTY GOLD (Schreiner 1943) Each 1.00 
A beauty done in refreshing lemon yellow and white. Might 
be described as a better Elsa Sass as the colors are brighter 
and clearer. Very lovely. 
MOONLIGHT MADONNA (J. Sass 1943) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Like Elsa Sass but with brighter color, larger flowers and better 
form. A very beautiful iris. 
MOONLIGHT SONATA (Stevens 1946) Each 6.00 
Many fine iris have come from New Zealand and this en- 
chanting iris is no exception. A soft sulphur yellow, not bril- 
liant, but sleek and smoothly finished. In addition the petals 
are uniquely serrated. Semi-flaring flowers on 3 foot stems. 
Late. 
MOROCCO ROSE (Loomis 1937) Each .60 
A large rose pink iris that has been in heavy demand. One of 
our most popular varieties. 
MOUNT TIMP (Muhlestein 1945) Each .75 
The first plicata to bloom and ideal for foreground planting. 
Flowers are very large and certainly among the prettiest of 
all the rose trimmed plicatas. It has attracted much attention 
here. Not tall. 
MRS. J. L. GIBSON (Gibson 1930) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Another most desirable near black variety. Large deep blue 
purple flowers of velvety texture and heavy substance. We 
like it very much. 
MULBERRY ROSE (Schreiner 1941) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
Well described by the name, this marvelous iris adds a new 
color to the iris spectrum. The color is enhanced by the brown 
hafts and bronze beard. Picture on page 15. 
MYSTIC MELODY (Stevens 1951) Each 12.00 
We are strongly attracted by this alluring and beautiful iris. 
On the order of Pinnacle but more of a blend than a bicolor. 
Standards are soft cream, falls rich butter yellow. Nicely 
formed flowers on well branched 40 inch stems. Midseason. 
NARAIN (Shuber 1936) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
A pure dark blue self of silky texture which we like very much. 
An early blooming variety, massive plants and very broad 
leaves. 
NEW SNOW (Fay 1946) Each 3.00 
We believe this is the most beautiful white iris on the market. 
The big ruffled flowers are purest white except for the bright 
yellow beard. An exhibition variety of unusual loveliness in 
flower arrangements. Stems are rather short branched. 40 
inches. Midseason. 
NIGHTFALL (Hall 1942) Each .75 
Handsome two toned pansy purple with deepest velvety color 
in the falls. A splendid grower and very floriferous. 3 feet. 
Midseason. 
NIGHTINGALE (Hall 1942) Each .75 
Fascinating golden russet blend. A large delightful iris. 
NIGHT LIFE (Muhlestein 1948) Each 5.00 
Very deep blackish purple that will command attention any- 
where. Flowers are smoothly finished with no markings on 
the hafts. Very new and will surely be most popular when 
more stock becomes available. Few plants. 
OLA KALA (J. Sass 1943) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
In our opinion the very finest deep yellow iris. In fact it is 
almost pure orange. Dykes Medal 1948. 
OLD PARCHMENT (Kleinsorge 1939) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Splendid large iris lightly tinted buff or creamy tan. Most 
striking and beautiful when planted in front of evergreen 
shrubbery. 
ORELIO (DeForest 1947) Each 3.00 
Bright brownish red distinct from others of this color. The 
big flowers possess good form and substance. Well branched 
3 foot stems. A Casa Morena seedling. 
ORMOHR (Kleinsorge 1937) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
One of the largest iris in existence. The rounded flowers are 
light lavender with rather inconspicuous violet veining. A tall 
Wm. Mohr seedling and a good grower everywhere.
