SACHEM Each 40c 



A glorified King Tut, grown by Dr. Loomis. Glori- 

 ous in richest tones of red-brown, of heavy velvety 

 texture. Falls are especially brilliant. 



SACRAMENTO Each 40c; 3 for $1 



A plicata of the San Francisco 

 type, but with reddish brown dots 

 and reticulations instead of the 

 usual blue or lavender. Ground 

 color is a creamy white. A very 

 tall variety, the large flowers be- 

 ing produced on well branched 

 stems. It is probably even more 

 dependable in unfavorable cli- 

 mates than are many of the other 

 California productions. 



SANDIA Each $2.50; 3 for $6.00 



Bright deep pink blend, un- 

 usual with a smoky veil. An Ohio 

 iris critic, nationally known and 

 whose opinion everyone respects, 

 wrote us that it was one of the 

 three or four finest things he saw 

 in 1935. The blooms are large, and 

 the stems grow to 40 inches in 

 height. 



SAN DIEGO Each 40c 



Monster blue, a seedling of 

 Mme. Gaudichau, with the Meso- 

 potamica qualities of height and 

 large size. The color is a uniform 

 shade of deep blue, with rich yel- 

 low beard. 



SAN FRANCISCO 



Each 35c; 3 for 75c 



A four-foot white with penciled 

 edge of lavender blue. Has been 

 awarded the Dykes Medal of the 

 American Iris Society, and still 

 stands at the head of all plicatas, 

 unsurpassed in size and grandeur. 

 Plentiful stock now permits us to 

 offer it at a most attractive price.

SANTA BARBARA 



Each 20c; 3 for 50c 



Here we have an iris which ap- 

 proaches perfection in the shape 

 and size of its flowers, and in addi- 

 tion is possibly the finest and clear- 

 est lavender-blue so far produced. 

 The exhibition rating of 91 is well 

 deserved. 



SEADEEP Each $10.00 



Introduced this year by F. A. 

 Thole, of Seattle, Wash. We saw 

 this as a seedling last season, at 

 which time we thought it the very 

 finest blue bicolor in the world. It 

 is a seedling of Santa Barbara 

 crossed with Bute, and it combines 

 the clean blue of the former in the standards with the 

 rich blue-black of the latter in the falls, but unlike 

 either it is just a little frilly in its segments. Tall stems, 

 excellently branched, an abundance of huge flowers, 

 everything to make it the complete perfect iris.
