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

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.

pink flower with a yellow center and no veining. It has fine

yellow and the large flowers are very flaring in form. H.M., 
1946; A.M. in 1950. Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
MAGIC CARPET (Schreiner 1942): M.L. 33 in. An outstanding 
plicata in shades of rose on cream. Standards are creamy amber

grant Iris has broad petals and flaring falls that are sure to at- 
tract your eye. It grows to a good height and is a pretty Iris. 
Each 50c; 3 for $1.25

domed standards and semi-flaring falls. It is a self with no haft

of blooms. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00
