SNOW CLOUD (Schreiner, 70) EM. 40" $1 0.00 



Graceful light blue amoena of spectacular size. Rounded petals are 

 airily ruffled. A symphony in balance and proportion and an ex- 

 quisite combination of soft tinted blue and snowy white. 



SOLID GOLD (Kleinsorge, '51 ) M. 36" $1.00 



The deepest yellow imaginable, without actually being orange rather 

 than yellow. Huge in size, very wide at the haft, ideally formed and 

 supremely branched. HM, '51; AM, '53. 



SORORITY GIRL (Moldovan, '60) M. 34" $1 .50 



Ruffled salmon-pink with an almost white area in the center of each 

 fall. Very large blooms with conical swirled standards and large 

 rounded falls. Salmon colored beard. HM, '60. 



SOUTH PACIFIC (Smith, '54) ML. 40" $1 .00 



Famous light blue, introduced at one hundred dollars per rhizome. 

 Perfectly formed, bright and silky. The beard is almost white. HM, 

 '54; AM, '58. One of the "Five Iris of the Year" for 1963. 



SOUTHERN COMFORT (Hinkle, '65) M. 36" $2.50 



A rich, creamy beauty with an intensification of deeper yellow on 

 the hafts and in the heart. Beard is matching yellow. Extra wide 

 standards and falls are pleated and ruffled. HM, '66; AM, '70. See 

 page 32. 



SPANISH GIFT (Shoop, '65) EM. 35" $3.50 



Warm, glowing, bright orange self; the beard is still deeper orange- 

 red on a creamy central ground. Here is a fine follow up on the heels 

 of the variety Spanish Affair; more brilliant and much superior. See 

 page 19. 



SPARKLING CHAMPAGNE (Ernst, '65) M. 36" $2.00 



Although this would be classed as a plicata it really carries but a 

 minimum of dots or etchings, mostly near the center and on the 

 hafts. The color inclines to a chartreuse or champagne shade. Very- 

 large, slightly spreading, with extra broad falls and superb branching. 

 HM, '66. Shown on page 34. 



SPLASH O' PINK (Hall, '64) EM. 36" $2.00 



Beautifully formed and broad petaled, with a brilliant, red beard. 

 The shade of pink is bright, clean with an amber glow in the central 

 area. Fine branching and ruffled. Very long lasting. HM, '67. 



SPRING FESTIVAL (Hall, '58) M. 36" $1 .00 



Not a deep shade of pink but is rather a definite appleblossom tint 

 with heavy geranium-red beards. The flowers are very large, faultlessly 

 formed and slightly ruffled. HM, '58. 



STARBURST (Tompkins, '67) ML. 38" $3.50 



An enormous flower, with broad, ruffled petals. The color is brilliant 

 copper-orange ... a reddish orange shade rather than apricot. Very 

 flaring in form, tall, strong and widely branched. Late. HM, '68. 

 Shown on back cover. 



STEPPING OUT (Schreiner, '64) ML. 38" $2.50 



The ground color is snowy white, the margins of both standards and 

 falls rimmed with a broad band of deep pansy-violet. All petals are 

 stylishly ruffled. 4-way branching. HM, '65; AM, '67. See page 23. 

 Dykes Medal, '68. 



STERLING SILVER (Moldovan, '63) M. 36" $2.00 

 After being open a few hours, a silver-like edge develops around 

 the petal edges of this extremely ruffled and fluted violet bi-tone. 

 Perfection in form, with domed standards and wide, almost hori- 

 zontal, flaring falls. HM, '64; AM, '66. 



SUMMER SILK (Gibson, 71) M. 34" $12.50 



In color a very odd shade of chamois or creamy tan, described by 

 some as "pongee" and others as creamy flesh, although it is not in any 

 category of pink. It is a complete self, including the beard and styles. 

 As you will note on our picture, page 9, all petals are extra wide, the 

 falls almost touching each other. They flare out widely and drop 

 gracefully at the outer rim.
