SAN ANTONE (Kleinsorge, 1947) Each ^4.00 



Illustrated on page 36. A deep tan or sand-brown self, imposing 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 stem. Just enough ruffling to lend grace. HM AIS, 1948. 



SAVAGE (Craig, 1949) Each ^10.00 



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. 



SEA LARK (Muhlestein, 1946) Each ^3.00 



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 almost four feet on a two-year 

 clump. HM AIS, 1947. 



SHARON KAY (DeForest, 1946) Each ^2.00 



An extraordinary "pinky" Iris of great size and delectable soft color- 

 ing, most unusual in the oval shape of the great flowers and in their 

 bright orchid-like shade. Style arms are white tinted lilac and the 

 beard is white tipped orange inside the throat. jMagnificent as a 

 clump. Height 38 inches. 



SHINING WATERS (Essig, 1933) Each 40c; 3 for ^1.00 

 Clear and clean blue, like the reflection of an azure sky in crystal 

 waters. Imposing flower and plant, 4 feet tall. A bit tender in severe 

 climates. 



SIERRA BLUE (Essig, 1932) Each 40c; 3 for ^1.00 



A soft, clean, enamel-like blue. It is of tall and stately habit, some- 

 times reaching over 5 feet, with many buds to the stalk. Deeper in 

 tone than Shining Waters and more hardy. In 1935 it won the Dykes 

 Medal and is a consistent flower show winner. 



SKY RANGER (Hall, 1948) Each ^7.50 



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 substance. It is so strong and vig- 

 orous that it has held up in storms when shorter and smaller varieties 

 have gone down. HM AIS, 1949. 



SNOQUALMIE (Brehm, 1938) Each 40c; 3 for ^1.00 



A solid deep cream ; even in tone, large in size and of leathery texture. 

 Creamy Irises tie into the garden picture well and are admirably used 

 with the reds and Variegatas as well as with the blues and purples. 

 This is one of the best, hardy and free blooming. 



SNOW FLURRY (Rees, 1939) Each ^1.00; 3 for ^2.50 



Standards pure icy white, beautifully ruffled. Falls big, broad and 

 pure white. They are waved and crimped at the edges, semi-flaring 

 and abundantly produced on stems reaching 4 feet. Early and long 

 lasting. Note the color plate on page 12. 



SNOW KING (H. Sass, 1935) Each 40c; 3 for ^1.00 



Regal in bearing, with broadly flaring great white blossoms lit with 

 gold in the throat. Heavy of substance, bold and strong in growing 

 habit. HM AIS, 1936; AM, 1937. 



SOLID MAHOGANY (J. Sass, 1944) Each ^2.00 



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 

 plushlike falls. Height 3 feet. HM AIS, 1944; AM, 1947. Shown in 

 color on page 34. 



SOUTHERN SNOW (Beck, 1947) Each ^1.50 



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 yellow. Increases very fast and 

 flowers abundantly. 3 feet. 



SPANISH PEAKS (Loomis, 1947) Each ^7.50 



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

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

 to be the supreme white of all — a pure clean flower of immense pro- 

 portions, 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. Photo on page 39. 



SPINDRIFT (Loomis, 1944) Each ^1.50 



Translucent, delicate seashell or coral-pink, with fiery tangerine beard 

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

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

 willo^vy stems. HM AIS, 1945. 



SPUN GOLD (Glutzbeck, 1940) Each ^1.00; 3 for ^2.50 



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 41. 



STARDOM (Hall, 1941) Each 50c; 3 for ^1.25 



Termetl 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 bril- 

 liant orange. With its large blooms and luscious color it is certain 

 to please you. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1943. 



SUKEY OF SALEM (Nesmith, 1946) Each ^2.50 



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 difficult to describe. Broad pet- 

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



SULTAN'S ROBE (Salbach, 1945) Each ^2.00 



This new Iris comes to us with a flattering recommendation. Some- 

 thing different in the way of Oriental coloring — standards Van Dyke 

 red to deep old rose; falls the same with golden overlay, especially 

 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 ^10.00 



A large ruffled light yellow of quite ideal form and extra heavy sub- 

 stance. One parent is the pink Floradora. These pinks give a sheen 

 and brilliance to their offspring rarely found in yellows. Tlie 36-inch 

 stem and branching is excellent. 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. 



SUNSET BLAZE (Kleinsorge, 1948) Each ^7.50 



A tall and huge golden flame-salmon blend, almost a red, but with 

 so much of the gold influence in it that it is not really a red Iris. 

 You have seen the sun look much like this just before it sinks over 

 the horizon. Both standards and falls are extra large and the haft and 

 beard are bright golden yellow. A most impressive flower, blooming 

 very early on widely branched stalks reaching 42 inches. Winner of 

 the President's cup at the AIS convention in 1949. HM AIS, 1949. 



SUZETTE (Knoivlton, 1945) Each ^3.00 



A creamy yellow plicata with edgings of maroon on the standards 

 and upper portion of the falls. .Style arms are sort of rose-brown. 

 A bit like Patrice in general effect but more yellow in garden effect. 

 Large in size, a good grower, 40 inches in height. HM AIS, 1945. 



SYLVIA MURRAY (Norton, 1944) Each ^1.35 



This new blue is derived from Great Lakes crossed with Shining 

 Waters, lighter in color than either of the parents and with the silvery 

 smoothness of pale blue silk. Enormous flowers, 40-inch stems, alto- 

 gether a grand blue Iris. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1949. 



TALLY-HO (Hall, 1949) Each ^10.00 



The upper part of the falls is c'ose to the deep coloring seen in 

 bright fuchsia colored Orchids. Ir.c domed standards and lower part 

 of the falls are lighter. This is somsthing new, pleasing and different! 

 The 32-inch stems are stout but a little closely branched for such large 

 flowers. It is a wonderful parent — when crossed with clear flamingo- 

 pinks it throws orchid-pinks, golden apricots, and some burgundy 

 shades. It is one of the parents of Heritage. Pink Sensation, Fuchsia, 

 and others scheduled for introduction. HM AIS, 1950. 



THE ADMIRAL (Hall, 1941) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



An intense blue, deeper than medium blue, but not really a dark 

 shade. The form, finish and substance are outstanding. Withstands 

 either sun, wind or rain equally well, lasts long in bloom and makes 

 a wonderful garden clump. Bluish beard lends depth to the color. 

 HM AIS, 1940; AM. 1944. Shown in color on page 44.
