SAN ANTON E (Kleinsorge, 1947) Each $2.00 



Illustrated on page 19. A deep tan or sand-brown self, im- 

 posing in size and manner of growth, with extra broad falls 

 and beautiful form. The immense buds unfold into huge 

 flowers perfectly spaced, many to the stern. Just enough 

 ruffling to lend grace. HM AIS, 1948. 



SAVAGE (Craig, 1949) Each $7.50 



Broadly flaring flower in a new and different shade of red 

 ... a subtle blending of bronze and magenta. A real eye 

 catcher with brilliant color hard to describe. 34 inches tall. 

 Few plants. HM AIS. 1951. 



SEA LARK (Muhlestein, 1946) 



Each $1.50; 3 for $4.00 



Soft violet-blue with a slaty cast, both standards and falls 

 having a central patch of purple shading. Different from any 

 other Iris. Free blooming, nicely formed, it grew to al- 

 most four feet on a two-year clump. HM AIS, 1947. 



SKY RANGER (Hall, 1948) 



Each $2.50 



Very tall — up to 54 inches — this stately and heavily ruffled 

 medium blue dominates the Iris garden. The three-way 

 branched stems open one flower each at a time, excellently 

 spaced. The flowers are large, of very attractive form and 

 good substiance. It is so strong and vigorous that it has 

 held up in storms when shorter and smaller varieties have 

 gone down. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1952. 



SNOW FLURRY (Rees, 1939) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Standards pure icy white beautifully ruffled. Fall 

 broad and pure white. They are waved and crimped at the 

 edges, semi-flaring and abundantly produced on stems reach- 

 ing 4 feet. Early and long lasting. Note the color plate on 

 page 31. 



SOLID GOLD (Kleinsorge, 1951) Each $15.00 



We have not introduced a yellow self from this hybridizer 

 since 1944, when Goldbeater was brought out. There have 

 been two or three times that certain superior yellows were 

 marked for naming, and then a new one would come into 

 flower and excel them. This one seems to be the 

 "ultimate." It is difficult to explain, in cold words, 

 how this Iris is superior to any yellow we have ever 

 seen. But it surely is just that . . . the deepest yel- 

 low imaginable, huge in size, very wide at the haft, 

 ideally formed. Height over 3 feet. See page 43. 

 HM AIS, 1951. 



SOLID MAHOGANY J Sass, 1944) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



This grand new red is one of the finest dark Irises of recent 

 years. Beautifully formed, the color is aptly described by 

 the name. No haft venation and a deep bronze-gold beard 

 accent the richness of the plush-like falls. Height 3 feet. 

 HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1947. Shown in color on page 27. 



SOUTHERN SNOW (Beck, 1947) 



Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A new white Iris originated in Chattanooga. Tenn., and which fills 

 every qualification for an ideal white. Quite early, the standards and falls 

 are both full and broad, very heavy in texture, and as white as purity 

 itself. The heavy beard is yellow. Increases very fast and flowers abun- 

 dantly. 3 feet. 



SPANISH FANDANGO (Kleinsorge, 1951) Each $10.00 



A swirling and ruffly affair in brilliant coppery yellow and vivid chest- 

 nut-red. Those familiar with the variety Mexico will recognize this as a 

 lively improvement on that popular and distinct Ir i-. Il i- wi-ll i ] 1 • i — 1 1 aird 

 on page 37. Spanish Fandango is a rampant grower, easily reaching four 

 feet, with plenty of good wide branching anil lots of big frilled blossoms. 

 All eyes will be upon it! HM AIS, 1952. 



SPANISH PEAKS (loomis, 1947) Each $3.50 



One of the really great new Irises of the day, from the hybridizer who 

 gave the world the famous Elmohr. Spanish Peaks may prove to be the 

 supreme white of all — a pure clean flower of immense proportions, no 

 yellow on the haft or in the throat. It has everything, including giant 

 size, graceful form, tall stems and perfect branching. HM AIS. 1948; 

 AM, 1950. 



Quechee 



SPINDRIFT (Loomis, 1944) Each $1.00

 to accentuate the color. This Iris achieved wide acclaim when shown as 

 a seedling under the number TQ-70. Well branched, with stiff, willowy 

 stems. HM AIS, 1945. 



SPUN GOLD (Glufzbeck, 1940) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



Perhaps the most famous yellow Iris ever introduced. It has all of the 

 desired qualities of size, good branching, tall stems and rich solid yellow- 

 color. Eagerly sought after because of its fine record; stock has remained 

 scarce. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1942; Dykes Medal. 1944. See page 28. 



STARDOM (Hall, 1941) 



Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Termed onion-skin-pink by the color chart, this fine Iris is not really pink 

 at all. but rather a smooth blend of coppery pink and apricot-buff. It 

 has also been called salmon-rose. Beard is tangerine or brilliant orange. 

 \X ith its large blooms and luscious color it is certain to please you. 

 HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1943. 



SUKEY OF SALEM (Nesmith, 1946) Each $1.00 



A blended self of ochre-red and rose with a brown flush on upper part 

 of the falls. Not a dull Iris for it is brimming with bright blended 

 colors, so cleverly intermingled it is difficult to describe. Broad petaled, 

 flaring, over 3 feet in height. HM AIS, 1946.
