BEARDED IRIS—Continued 
LADY ALBRIGHT (Muhlestein 1950) Each 10.00 
Many who have seen this glorious creation agree that it is 
one of the most colorful blends. Standards are coppery rose, 
falls deep rosy lavender trimmed same color as the stand- 
ards. Very few plants. HM 1950. 
LADY BOSCAWEN (Graves 1946) Each 1.50 
We rank this regal beauty and New Snow as two of the very 
finest white introductions. The well branched stems up to 4 
feet in height bear many large ruffled flowers over a long 
period. HM 1946, AM 1948. 
LADY MOHR (Salbach 1944) Each 1.00 
The most distinctive novelty of the Wm. Mohr derivatives. 
Exotic in appearance and of elegant form this iris is entirely 
different. The domed standards are oyster white, the wide 
rounded falls soft olive yellow with dark veins and a dark 
os patch surrounding the beard. HM AIS 1944, AM 
EVO 
LADY OF SHALOTT (Schreiner 1942) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
Our choice of the Schreiner plicatas. Dainty flowers of lightly 
ruffled form with white standards flushed soft rose and white 
falls margined with a peppering of rose pink. 
LEADING LADY (Lyell 1949) Each 5.00 
Yes, this scintillating lady leads the parade of the new ice or 
iemon yellow iris. In no other variety are the white and 
lemon tones so sharply contrasted. It was a case of love at 
tirst sight with us and we think you too will be quickly won 
over by this beauty. 3 feet. 
LIGHTHOUSE (Salbach 1946) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Very large bright rose blend with just the slightest touch of 
yellow on the haft. A noble flower. HM AIS 1937, AM 1940. 
Picture on page 32. 
LIGHTS ON (Lapham 1946) Each 2.00 
A definite step nearer to the first RED iris. A redder and larger 
Red Gleam but not as tall. Outstanding. HM AIS 1946. 
LOS ANGELES (Mohr-Mitchell 1927) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
With all its admirable qualities this iris still ranks with the 
best blue and white plicatas. The perfectly poised flowers are 
clear white except for the bright blue stitching on the hafts 
and the base of standards. AM AIS 1944. 
LOTHARIO (Schreiner 1942) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
A regal iris of huge and striking color. Color pattern is quite 
like Amigo but twice the size. 
LOUISE BLAKE (K. Smith 1943) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
This was one of the loveliest iris in our garden last year. An- 
other with the Amigo color pattern but so much more glitter- 
ing that it can hardy be compared with the older and duller 
variety. HM AIS 1944, AM 1947. 
LOUVOIS (Cayeux 1936) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
The finest dark brown iris with a velvety finish. HM AIS 1939. 
Picture on page 32. 
LUCKY STAR (Marx 1950) Each 1.00 
Crossing Amigo with Shah Jehan produced this intriguing 
iris of founded 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 its parentage. The globular flowers are perfectly 
placed on well branched 3 foot stems. Early to midseason. 
LYNN LANGFORD (Hall 1946) Each 2.00 
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. HM AIS 1946, AM 1950. 
Picture on page 29. 
MADAME MOHR (Becherer 1951) Each 6.00 
One of the loveliest new iris to bloom in our garden in 1952. 
Immense broad petaled flowers, the color an exquisite shade 
of lavender near Mignon. An absolute self of slightly onco- 
cyclus form possessing good substance and marvelously 
smooth texture. About 31/2 feet. 
SEED SPECIALTIES ARE OFFERED ON PAGE 62

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. HM AIS 1943. 
MARQUITA (Cayeux 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. AM 1936. 
MASTER CHARLES (Williamson 1943) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
A rich refined iris of glowing mulberry purple. And the flar- 
ing form adds more charm. HM AIS 1944, AM 1946. Picture 
on page 37. 
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. HM 
AlS 1938, AM 1940. 
MATTIE GATES (Sass 1946) Each 5.00 
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. 
HM 1946, AM 1950. 
MAYTIME (Whiting 1950) Each 15.00 
Enchanting pink toned amoena and one of the most intriguing 
new things we saw in 1951. Large opulent blooms of two 
shades, standards light orchid pink, falls deeper rosy lilac. 
Rather late. About 3 Y2 feet in height. HM 1950. 
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. HM 1941. 
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. HM AIS 1940, AM 1942. 
MELLOWGLOW (Whiting 1942) Each 1.50 
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. HM AIS 1942. 
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. HM AIS 1944. 
MIDWEST GEM (H. Sass 1937) Each .50; 3 for 1.25 
Large buff and pink blend of unusually heavy substance, the 
edges of the falls intensely ruffled. HM 1937. Picture page 33. 
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. HM AIS 1938, AM 1941. 
MINNIE COLQUITT (H. Sass 1942) Each 1.00; 3 for 2.50 
One of the most striking new plicatas we haye seen. Entirely 
different, the immense flowers are white with wine purple 
borders. A robust grower. HM AIS 1943, AM 1945. Picture 
- on page 28. 
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. 
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. HM AIS 1945. 
MOONLIGHT MADONNA (J. Sass 1943) Each .75; 3 for 2.00 
Like Elsa Sass but with brighter color, larger flowers and better 
form. A very beautiful iris. HM 1943, AM 1945.
