SOLID GOLD (Kleinsorge, 1951) Each $20.00 



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 su- 

 perior to any yellow we have ever seen. But it surely is just that . . . 

 the deepest yellow 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 $1.50; 3 for $3.50 



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 21. 



SOUTHERN SNOW rSecJ^, 1947) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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 yel- 

 low. Increases very fast and flowers abundantly. 3 feet. 



SPANISH FANDANGO (Kleinsorge, 1951) 



Each $15.00 



A swirling and ruffly affair in brilliant coppery yellow and 

 vivid chestnut-red. Those familiar with the variety Mexico 

 will recognize this as a lively improvement on that popular 

 and distinct Iris. It is well illustrated on this page. Spanish 

 Fandango is a rampant grower, easily reaching four feet, 

 with plenty of good wide branching and lots of big frilled 

 blossoms. All eyes will be upon it! 



Spanish Fandango 



SPANISH PEAKS (Loomis, 1947) Each $4.00 



One of the really great new Irises of the day, from the hy- 

 bridizer who gave to the world the famous Hmohr. 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, grace- 

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

 AM, 1950. Photo on page 41. 



SPINDRIFT (Loomis, 1944) Each $1.50 



Translucent, delicate seashell or coral-pink, with fiery tan- 

 gerine beard 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 $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Perhaps the most famous yellow Iris ever introduced. It has 

 aU of the desired qualities of size, good branching, tail 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 29. 



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. With its large blooms 

 and luscious color it is certain to please you. HM AIS, 1940; 

 AM, 1943. 



SUKEY OF SALEM (NesmHh, 1946) Each $1.50 



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 dif- 

 ficult to describe. Broad petaled, flaring, over 3 feet in height. 

 HM AIS, 1946. 



SULTAN'S ROBE (Salbach, 1945) Each $1.50 



This new Iris comes to us with a flattering recommendation. 

 Something different in the way of Oriental coloring — stand- 

 ards Van Dyke red to deep old rose; falls the same with golden 

 overlay, specially on the upper half. There is a dash of violet- 

 blue in the center of each fall. 36 inches tall. HM AIS, 1946. 



SUNRAY (Hall, 1950) Each $7.50 



A large ruffled light yellow of quite ideal form and extra 

 heavy substance. One parent is the pink Floradora. These 

 pinks give a sheen and brilliance to their offspring rarely 

 found in yellows. The 36-inch stem and branehing is excel- 

 lent. It is a fast increaser, hardy and an outstanding parent 

 for ruffled pinks and yellows. A well grown stem of Sunray 

 is well nigh the perfect Iris. See page 19. HM AIS, 1951.
