SIEGFRIED (H. Sctss, 1936) Each 50c; 3 for $1.25 



Pale sulphur-yellow, etched with stippling of purple-brown threads. 

 A very popular yellow plicata that is both large and tall. HM AIS, 

 1936; AM, 1938. 



SIERRA BLUE (Essig, 1932) 



Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



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

 sometimes 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. 



SIERRA SNOW (Kleinsorge, 1939) Each $1.00 



A hardy white of pure clean color; very attractive spreading form, 

 and with wavy edges on the falls. Over 40 inches tall, widely 

 branched. Very scarce. 



SNOQUALMIE (Brehm, 1938) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



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 bloom- 

 ing. 



SNOW FLURRY (Rees, 1939) Each $3.00; 3 for $8.00 



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 10. 



SNO WRING (H. Sass, 1935) Each 35c; 3 for 90c 



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. 



SNOW VELVET (H. Sass, 1942) Each $5.00 



A white flower of very heavy substance, lit with gold about the 

 center. The large flowers stay in good condition on the hottest 

 days. Height 40 inches. HM AIS, 1942. 



SONRISA (DeForest, 1942) Each $10.00 



Coppery pink with yellow undertone having a metallic finish. Very 

 wide segments, rounded form with slightly flaring falls and un- 

 usually large flowers. Difficult to describe, but we regard it as 

 next to Casa Morena in merit among all DeForest introductions. 

 HM AIS, 1945. 



Each $3.50 



A new giant clear blue on the lavender side. It is free blooming 

 and one of the largest Irises we have ever seen. A descendent of 

 Sierra Blue, similar in habit. 



Each $5.00 



A well-named blue Iris, almost flax-blue in color, with frosty over- 

 lay. Big and bold, heavy substance, superb branching. Height 

 40 inches. 



SPINDRIFT (Loomis, 1944) Each $12.00 



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. 



SPOKAN (J. Sass, 1933) Each 30c; 3 for 75c 



A soNdly colored deep chestnut-red; of great size — one of the very 

 largest — with an odd coppery suffusion throughout. The standards 

 are of brownish tone, sort of light molasses tinted, and the center 

 is highly lighted with gold. 3 feet tall, very hardy. 



SPUN GOLD (Glutzbeck, 1940) Each $6.00 



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. 



STAINED GLASS (Wilhelm, 1939) Each $1.00; 3 for $2.50 



Glowing red-copper self, one of the most brilliant Iris we have 

 ever seen when viewed with the sun behind it. In such a light 

 it resembles nothing quite so much as stained glass . . . rich and 

 brilliant, almost aflame! Self colored, with orange beard. Medium 

 height. HM AIS, 1940. 



STARDOM (Hall, 1941) Each $2.00; 3 for $5.00 



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 tan- 

 gerine or brilliant orange. With its large blooms and luscious color 

 it is certain to please you. HM AIS, 1940; AM, 1943. 



STELLA POLARIS (Smith, 1939) Each $3.50 



A very large and superior creamy white with almost veJvety sur- 

 face. Stems have 4-way branching and reach 42 inches in height. 

 Strong growing, it makes a magnificent clump or a perfect ex- 

 hibition spike. HM AIS, 1939. 



SOUTHERN PACIFIC (Taylor, 1942) 



SPARKLING BLUE (Grant, 1942) 



STORM KING (Nicholls, 1940) Each $8.00 



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 with no haft 

 markings. Always scarce. HM AiS, 1941. 



SUEZ (Schreiner, 1944) Each $12.00 



A rich shade of oriental reddish purple, spotted and veined after 

 the combined pattern of the parents — Wm. Mohr and Mme. Louis 

 Aureau. A true break in Iris breeding which has the unusual 

 quality of yielding fertile pollen and in addition sets seed itself. 

 Very few rhizomes. 



SULTAN'S ROBE (Salbach, 1945) 



Each $12.50 



This new Iris comes to us with flattering recommendation. All 

 who viewed it in the garden of the originator last year were en- 

 thusiastic about it. Standards VanDyke-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, 

 midseason. 



SUNSET SERENADE (J. Sass, 1943) Each $12.00 



Introduced as the best of the Prairie Sunset seedlings to date and 

 not surpassed thus far. A soft golden tan or light apricot-buff, 

 lighter in tone than the parent, with very little rose or pinkish 

 tints. As large as Prairie Sunset and taller. HM AIS, 1943; AM, 

 1945. 



TAPESTRY ROSE (Hall, 1941) Each $3.50 



An exquisite soft old rose blend in a class without much competi- 

 tion. Large flowers with fine form and very good substance; 38- 

 inch stems. Lovely color and a free bloomer. HM AIS, 1942. 



TEA ROSE (Whiting, 1944) Each $10.00 



A blend of rose and pale gold, well on the way to true pink. It is 

 a seedling of Matula crossed with China Maid. The color is strong 

 and warm enough to be seen across the garden and yet clear and 

 delicate as a Rose. 36 inches. HM AIS, 1945. 



THE ADMIRAL (Hall, 1941) Each $3.00 



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

 shade. The form, finish and substance are outstanding. With- 

 stands 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 23. 



THE BLACK DOUGLAS (J. Sass, 1934) Each 30c; 3 for 75c 



Large blackish purple of even tone, velvety surface and large 

 flowers. If you want a black Iris and cannot afford the more 

 expensive ones, try this. Hordy and increases fast. 



THE RED DOUGLAS (J. Sass, 1937) Each $1.25 



Simply colossal in size, as smooth and heavy as a piece of richest 

 plush. It is deep rosy-wine-red, solid at the haft, with a brownish 

 cast near the center; beard rich orange. It is not the reddest Iris 

 but the coloring is gorgeously deep and intense. Dykes Medal, 

 1941. 



THE SENTINEL (Hall, 1942) Each $3.00 



Burnished copper describes this new color in Iris. On the order 

 of Casa Morena in general color tone, possibly a bit more coppery. 

 Flowers are large, form and substance good, but it is closely 

 branched and of medium height. However, it makes a very rich 

 and glowing clump and the novel color stops all garden visitors. 



THREE OAKS (Whiting, 1943) Each $10.00 



This massive rose-pink blend opened the eyes of all the judges 

 last season. Huge in size, beautifully blended tones of rose-pink 

 and copper, and on very tall stems, it was one of the sensations 

 of our garden. Lasts over an extra long period. Height 40 inches. 

 HM AIS, 1945. 



THREE SISTERS (DeForest, 1941) Each $3.00 



A distinct and exciting combination of pale creamy yellow stand- 

 ards and red-toned falls. In sunny weather the standards are 

 almost white. A vigorous grower and rapid increaser, with abun- 

 dant well-branched stalks. In the originator's garden it averaged 

 36 to 40 inches. See page 22. 



TIFFANJA (DeForest, 1942) Each $5.00 



A new and unique plicata, having good form and thick substance. 

 Smooth and clean cut; standards colonial buff; falls creamy white, 

 definitely bordered buff, brushed at the haft and speckled around 

 the border with light brown. This is a big flower, 42 inches tall. 

 HM AIS, 1944. Shown in color on page 23. 



TIFFANY (H. Sass, 1938) Each 60c; 3 for $1.50 



Soft but decidedly yellow in color, with abundant stitching of 

 bronzy pinkish violet. A gracefully frilled flower of full propor- 

 tions; very large, vigorous growing and reasonably tal'l. About 

 the best of the low-priced yellow plicatas and will give any of 

 them a run for their money. HM AIS, 1939; AM, 1943. Shown 

 on page 1 9.
