MAYAN GOLD (McKee 1951) $5.00 
Brilliant golden yellow, large petaled flower. It has a slightly ruffled 
form; has been commended as a parent for orange and reds. Mid- 
season. 37”. (Jericho x (Moontide x Orange Gem) ) 
MAY HALL (Hall 1954) $25.00 
This is considered to be Mr. Hall’s best flamingo-pink to date, and 
he has introduced many. The color is clear and bright—a light pink, 
near that of Happy Birthday, but with different form and with a 
vivid tangerine beard. Mid-season. 36”. (Dolly Varden x Pink 
Seedling 49-13) Honorable Mention 1954. 
MAYTIME (Whiting 1950) $9.00 
Refreshingly different; a pink amoena. Its standards are orchid pink 
with deeper rose pink falls. Possesses great color appeal in its crisp 
form and clearness of colors which follow down into the heart of the 
flower. Ornamented with a white beard. 36”. Mid-late. (Shannopin 
x Pathfinder) Award of Merit 1953. 
MELLOWGLOW (Whiting 1942) $1.50 
This mellow, glowing blend is one of the most outstanding. A deep 
peachy apricot with a flush of pink smoothly blended on the wide 
and arched standards, with broadly rounded falls. Mid-season. 38”. 
MELODY LANE (D. Hall 1949) $3.50 
Bright glistening golden apricot for your garden. Large blooms, 
somewhat ruffled with good form and tangerine beard. It is an 
early bloomer. 36”. Award of Merit 1952. 
MEMORIES (Sass 1953) $20.00 
Carrot red! This is an intensification of pink that ends up a most 
commanding color, with an even deeper red beard. The flowers are 
large, with broad, heavy-substanced petals and good form. Mid-late. 
36”. (Sass Seedling 48-196 x Pink Sails) Honorable Mention 1953. 
MIDNIGHT BLUE (Schreiner 1954) $8.00 
About halfway in color between its parents, Black Forest and Chiv- 
alry, this blue-black variety has silky, deep violet overtones. Beauti- 
fully uniform in depth and intensity of color, it makes a lovely, 
floriferous garden clump. Early mid-season. 34”. 
MOHR AFFAIR (Walker 1953) $5.00 
A Eupogocyclus hybrid in red-violet, with the falls heavily washed 
a tich deep wine. Large perfectly formed flowers; stalks are erect, and 
well branched. (Wm. Mohr x Golden Majesty) 30”. 
MOHR AND MORE (Muhlestein 1953) $10.00 
Eupogocyclus hybrid, violet self. For hybridizers striving for be- 
yond-the- usual, Mohr and More is intriguing, for it has a tendency 
to produce flowers with four standards and four falls. 40”. (Aldura 
x Capitola) 
MOHRESQUE (A. D. Keith 1950) $2.00 
Strange and odd colorings. The standards are light brown, the falls 
are yellowish-buff, changing to near chartreuse at the beard. In 
addition, there’s a purplish falking all over the falls. Early bloomer. 
38”. (Doxa x Zwannenburg) 
MOHR MAJESTY (M. R. Walker 1952) $7.50 
Large well rounded buff colored flowers. The standards are clear and 
without markings. The falls are broad and overlaid with wine color. 
The branching is good. 36”. (Wm. Mohr x Golden Majesty) 
Honorable Mention 1952. 
MOLTEN (Craig 1950) $4.00 
A luxuriant blending of burnt sienna, rose and ochre, with a violet- 
blue blaze. This iris is proving itself to be of value in hybridizing, 
especially for reds. Beautifully branched, tall. (Prairie Sunset x 
Sultan’s Robe) Highly Commended 1947. 
MONTECITO (Milliken 1950) $4.50 
An appealing and charming picture is painted by nature in this net- 
work of cool deep lemon-yellow and frosty white. The closed stand- 
ards are of pale lemon yellow. The falls are a crisp satin-finished 
deeper lemon-yellow, with a highlight of smooth frosted white in 
the center section. The tip of the beard is white, changing to soft 
yellow as it works down into the throat. 35”. 
DON’T BE CONTENT WITH BEARDED IRIS ALONE! 
FIRECRACKER 
MOONLIGHT SERENADE (Naylor 1952) $6.00 
Although Moonlight Serenade is a warm white, it approaches a 
cream with its faint lemon reminder, the falls deepening slightly 
around the outer edges. Fall petals have graceful composition, as does 
the entire flower. Early mid-season. 40”. (Snow Flurry x Hall’s 
No. 42-10) Highly Commended 1951. Honorable Mention 1952. 
MOONLIGHT SONATA (Stevens 1946) $1.50 
Pretty nearly an exact lemon-yellow in color, this uniformly colored 
variety distinguishes itself by fine notching or serrations along all 
petal edges. Late blooming. 36”. 
MT. McKINLEY (Schreiner 1947) $1.00 
This is a Wabash and Amigo seedling. An amoena, with standards 
soft clear white with a blue flush, and the falls deep purple edged 
pale blue. Early mid-season. 36”. 
MYSTIC MELODY (Stevens 1951) $5.00 
This is a sister to Summit. While there is not as much color contrast 
in Mystic Melody as there is in Summit, we think the form is better 
and the petals broader. The enamelled butter-yellow falls create a 
“melody of sweet music’ with the standards of soft cream. An im- 
pressive iris. 39”. Mid-late. Honorable Mention 1952. 
NEW HOPE (DeForest 1950) $3.00 
A plicata of clear, clean, crisp blue and white. The large ruffled 
flowers are white, bordered with medium violet-blue stitchings. The 
beard is blue tipped. Fine substance and beautifully branched. 36”. 
Excellent plicata background. Honorable Mention 1951. 
NEW HORIZON (Fay 1946) $1.00 
A choice variety in the peach-pink colorings. It is almost a self, with 
the tangerine beard, and pink buds. Flowers are of good size and 
substance and are carried on tall well-branched stalks. Honorable 
Mention 1947. Late. 38”. 
NEW SNOW (Fay 1946) $1.50 
White as new snow. The beard is of bright yellow, the only color 
on the entire flower, as there are no haft markings. In form, it is 
ruffled and flaring. Mid-season. Hardy. 38”. (Snow Flurry x Kath- 
erine Fay)
