Pretty Quadroon 



STATEN ISLAND (K. Smith, 1947) 



Each $4.00 



Generally regarded as the finest true variegata of all. 

 Standards bright golden yellow, falls velvety red, edged 

 with a very narrow band of gold. 38 inches tall. 

 HM AIS, 1948; AM, 1951. 



SUKEY OF SALEM (Nesmith, 1946) 



Each 75c 



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 brim- 

 ming with bright blended colors, so cleverly intermingled 

 it is difficult to describe. Broad petaled, flaring, over 

 3 feet in height. HM AIS, 1946. 



SULTAN'S ROBE (Salbach, 1945) 



Each $1.00 



This new Iris comes to us with a flattering recommenda- 

 tion. Something 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. 



SUN RAY (Hall, 1950) Each $3.00 



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 branching 

 is excellent. It is a fast increaser, hardy and an out- 

 standing parent for ruffled pinks and yellows. A 

 well grown stem of Sunray is well nigh the perfect 

 Iris. See page 44. HM AIS, 1951. 



SUNSET BLAZE (Kleinsorge, 1948) 



Each $2.50 



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 flow- 

 er, blooming very early on widely branched stalks reach- 

 ing 42 inches. Winner of the President's Cup at the AIS 

 convention in 1949. HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. See page 

 42. 



SUZETTE (Knowlton, 1945) 



Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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. 



SPINDRIFT (Loomis, 1944) Each $1.00 



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, willowy 

 stems. HM AIS, 1945. 



SYLISTA (Mitchell, 1950) Each $2.00 



Wax-like ivory-white with clean cut yellow shoulders and bright yellow 

 beard. Lovely in its own right, it combines perfectly with any of the pure 

 whites or yellows. The large flowers are rather rounded in form, the stems 

 widely branched and 3 feet in height. A real charmer! 



SPOTLIGHT (Schreiner, 1952) Each $10.00 



One of the newest deep golden yellows ; a huge blossom, perfectly formed, 

 flaring, and with a bright spot of white just below the beard. The color 

 of Ola Kala in a really big Iris. 



STARSHINE fVV/7/s, 1949) Each $5.00 



Subtle pastel shades of cream, buff and muted blue, blended into a pearly 

 combination for those who like soft colors. Falls flare out horizontally 

 and the branching is wide, giving it the reputation as "the Iris of most 

 perfect form." HM AIS, 1949; AM, 1951. 



SYLVIA MURRAY (Norton, 1944) Each 75c ; 3 for $2.00 



This new blue is derived from Great Lakes crossed with Shining Waters, 

 lighter in color than either of the parents and with the silvery smooth- 

 ness of pale blue silk. Enormous flowers, 40-inch stems, altogether a 

 grand blue Iris. HM AIS, 1946; AM, 1949. Shown on page 27. 



TECHNICOLOR (Whiting, 1950) 



Each $7.50 



One of the "reddest" of the reds — a seedling of Garden Glory. Brighter 

 and nearer to true red than the parent, it is also taller than that fine 

 variey. A heavy bloomer and fast increaser.
