SPANISH PEAKS (Loomis, 1947) Each ^12.50 



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. 



SPINDRIFT (Loomis, 1944) Each ^2.00 



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

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

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

 willowy stems. HM AIS, 1945. 



Opal Cloud 



SPUN GOLD (Glulzheck, 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 28. 



STORM KING (Nicholls, 1940) Each ^1.00; 3 for ^2.00 



The king of the black Irises. Although a somewhat slow increaser, 

 its nearly black, silky blooms are unmatched by any other variety we 

 have seen. Immense blooms, wide flaring falls vnth no haft markings. 

 Always scarce. HM AIS, 1941. 



SUKEY OF SALEM (Nesmith, 1946) Each ^4.00 



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 pet- 

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



SULTAN'S ROBE (Salbnch, 1945) Each ^3.00 



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. 



SUNSET BLAZE fKleinsorge, 1948) Each ^10.00 



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 (Knowlton, 1945) Each ^6.00 



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 ^2.25 



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. 



THE ADMIRAL (Hall, 1941) Each ^LOO; 3 for ^2.50 



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 41. 



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 bril- 

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

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