 Height 38 inches. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1952. See page 28. 



FROST AND FLAME 



SABLE (Cook, '38) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



Almost black; a uniform shade of deepest blue-black- 

 violet, with blue beard. Sable has every attribute that a 

 fine Iris should possess: large size, reasonably tall stalks, 

 thick substance and a wonderfully lustrous sheen. Every- 

 body wants Sable. HM AIS, 1937; AM, 1940. See page 30. 



SABLE NIGHT (P. Cook, '52) Each $5.00 



Richest black velvet, with a very deep glow of under- 

 lying red. Heavy bronze beard. Winner of the Dykes 

 Medal in 1955. Will sell out early. Shown on page 22. 



SALAMONIE (CooJc, '46) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



Exquisite light pink blend, richly yet delicately colored, 

 combining the best features of its parents, Majenica 

 and Pink Reflection. A self in garden effect, the flow- 

 ers holding their color well in any weather. Standards 

 light pinkish cinnamon; falls light congo-pink; flowers 

 5 inches in diameter. A strong grower and free bloomer. 

 HM AIS, 1946. 



SAN ANTONE (Kleinsorge, '47) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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 per- 

 fectly spaced, many to the stem. Just enough ruffling 

 to lend grace. HM AIS, 1948. 



SARAH LEE SHIELDS (Graves, '51) Each 75c 



An alabaster-white with very broad petals, growing to 

 40 inches tall on ideally branched stems. The blooms 

 are gracefully ruffled and carry a heavy gold beard. 

 HM AIS, 1951. 



SAVAGE (Craig, '49) 



Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



Broadly flaring flower in a new and different 

 shade of red— a subtle blending of bronze 

 and magenta. A real eye-catcher with bril- 

 liant color hard to describe. 34 inches tall. 

 HM AIS, 1951. 



SEAFARER (Buttrick, '49) Each $2.00 



The name suggests the clear blue waters of 

 the sea and it is most appropriate. A true 

 deep blue self, free from the veining so 

 prevalent in many blue Iris. Standards are 

 domed and the falls flare out handsomelv. 

 36 inches tall. HM AIS, 1949. 



SENORITA ILSA (Rogers, '53) 



Each $3.50 



Heavily substanced, giant white from 

 Helen McGregor x Sylvia Murray. 

 The petals are broad and substance 

 is thick and heavy. Placement of the 

 great flowers is perfect on 38-inch 

 stalks. HM AIS, 1953. 



SHY MERMAID (Kleinsorge, '58) Each $15.00 



A tall, stately rose colored flower with tawny russet 

 hafts and style arms. The beard is bronze-orange. The 

 falls flare widely and are gracefully ruffled and curled 

 at the margins. Flowers are large and placement along 

 the sturdy, well branched stems is ideal. Height 36-40 

 inches. 



ROYAL SOVEREIGN (Stevens, '51) Each $1 .50; 3 for $4.00 



Brilliant golden orange with a burnished overlay of metallic bronze. 

 A smoother and cleaner Iris than Rocket, with much the same color 

 effect and it does not burn in the sun. Very large, on 38-inch stems. 

 HM AIS, 1953. 



RUBIENT (Whiting, '42) Each 75c; 3 for $2.00 



A taller, much redder Amigo. Standards are rich pansy-purple, very 

 brilliant; the falls blackish red-purple with a neat edge the same 

 tone as the standards. Stems reach a height of over 40 inches in 

 our garden. 



SIERRA SKIES (Schortman, '54) Each $6.00 



Here we have the blue of a bright blue sky, the large blossoms 

 superbly held on tall stems and the wide falls flaring gracefully- 

 This lovely Iris is in great demand as one which comes nearest to 

 spectrum-blue. 38 inches. HM AIS, 1954; AM, 1956. 



SKY CRYSTAL (Sass, '55) Each $10.00 



Wide Gardenia-like white with a slight blue cast, lightly ruffled. A 

 cool but quite spectacular new Iris. 38 inches. HM AIS. 1955.
