MAYTIME (Whiting 1950) ML. 40”. 
We think so highly of this near amoena that we could not 
resist picturing it, page 34. The amoena class being the most 
difficult of all color classes to improve, Maytime represents 
a real breeding triumph. Its two-tone lilac pink has a warmth 
and freshness—a limpid etherealness—that are most inspiring. 
An Iris to remember to add to your collection. $15.00 
MELANIE (Hill 1941) M. 40”. 
Melanie is a lovely, stately, shimmering light orchid pink 
with tall stems, ideally branched, good form, fine size and 
wonderful substance. A most commendable Iris. HM’41. 
50c; 3 for $1.25 
MELODY LANE (D. Hall 1949) E. 36”. 
A surprising result from flamingo pink crossing is this bright, 
‘ é 5 : 5 ish = 5 
glistening golden apricot—a color both attractive and new. 
A new shade has been added to the Iris Rainbow. HM’50. 
MING YELLOW (Glutzbeck 1938) ML. 36”. 
Ming Yellow is one of the largest, well substanced yellows. 
Branched blooms are carried with an easy grace. Large, clear, 
rich, smooth yellow evenly toned, thick substanced. HM’38. 
AM"41. 75c; 3 for $2.00 
MINNIE COLQUITT (H. Sass 1942) EM. 35”. 
A striking, massive plicata entirely different from other pli-- 
catas. The heart of each petal is pure white with the broad 
stitching of wine purple on the border repeated in both the 
standards and falls. A handsome flower, lighty ruffled, thor- 
oughly fine in every way. Pictured page 30. HM’43. AM’45. 
$1.00; 3 for $2.50

MIOGEM (McKee 1947) M. 36”. 
A most unusual blend of wine, fuchsia red and blue inter- 
mingled with brownish tones giving an iridescent effect that 
is quite fascinating. The subtle interplay of colors is most 
pleasing. HM’47. $1.50; 3 for $3.75 
MISSOURI (Grinter 1933) ML. 37”. 
One of the classics of Irisdom. Blooms of faultless form and 
heavy enameled texture are a clear rich shade of medium 
blue. AM’35. DM’37. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
MISTY GOLD (Schreiner 1943) ML. 33”. * 
Some Iris are loud and brilliant in the garden. Others are 
entrancing with their delicacy and winsomeness. Such an Iris 
is Misty Gold. A lilting, crinkled petaled lemon toned Iris 
with a gold braiding along the perimeter of the petals giving 
a most effective foil to the cool, soft lemon-cream shadings 
in the center of the flower. Broad petaled, fluted and revo- 
lute. Pictured on page 31. HM’45. $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
PINNACLE 
MOONLIGHT SONATA (Stevens 1946) L. 35”. * 
A cool lemon to sulphur yellow, even to the beard. The orig- 
inator describes it as lime without green. Note the illustra- 
tion on page 24 which displays its most individual charac- 
eas Sa notching, or serration on the petal edge. 
extremely good.

MORNING BLUE (Jory 1948) E. 40”. 
The massive, beautifully arched blooms of this lovely clear 
lavender blue hybrid of Wm. Mohr need only be seen to be 
appreciated. The delicate nuances of color cast by sunlight 
filtering through its petals are unforgettable. $3.50
