MAUVE MINK (Hall, '61) Each $5.00 This is pretty much a self—a bewitching shade of rosy Hlac and a hint of blue—paling to an almost white area about the haft, in sharp contrast to the red-orange beard. Note the opulence of the rufHed standards and the breadth of the spreading falls. Flowers are large in size, produced on stout 3-foot, well branched stalks. Shown on pages 35 and 41. HM AIS, 1962. MAY HALL (Mali '54) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 A shade of pink which everyone expects in a flower of this hue. Many spreading blossoms to the stem, good branching, and a vivid beard to set it off. 36 inches tall. HM AIS, 1954; AM, 1956. MAY MAGIC (Schreiner, '56) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 A fresh, light hearted, radiant orchid-pink. Not related to nor re- sembling the flamingo-pinks, it is a frilly edition of the Pink Plume and Lavanesque series. Luscious and delicate, with opalescent hues. HM AIS, 1956. MAYTIME (Whifing, '50) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 Two tones of bright orchid-pink. A handsomely formed full flower with lots of color. There is a definite contrast in color of standards and falls, making it a near amoena. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1950; AM, 1953. MAZATLAN (Hall, '59) Each $2.50 Standards are practically snow-white, flushed amber at the base. Falls have a white ground but blend into blue beyond the center. Beard is red-orange on an amber ground. The entire flower is fringed and shirred at the margins and is from pink breeding. 30-33 inches, well branched. MELODRAMA (Coolc, '56) Each $2.50 This new break in Iris breeding has attracted wide attention. The standards are pale violet, deepening in tone to the deep lilac of the flaring falls. With its very broad petals and huge size it will be im- mediately spotted in any planting. 40 inches. HM .'\IS, 1956; AM, 1958. See page 10.
