SAN DIEGO 



Monster blue, a seedling of Mine. Gaudichau, with 

 the Mesopotamia qualities of height and large size. 

 The color is a uniform shade of deep blue, with rich 

 yellow beard. Awarded an H. M. by the American 

 Iris Society in 1931. Each 50c; three for $1.25 



SAN FRANCISCO 



A four-foot plicata that has been awarded the 

 Dykes medal by the American Iris Society. No other 

 plicata approaches it in size and grandeur, heaviness 

 of texture, or low and wide branching habit. While in 

 the past we have suggested that it is not an iris for 

 severe climates, the experience of many growers in 

 the mid-West and New England in flowering it suc- 

 cessfully, leads us to suggest that it probably is 

 hardier than at first suspected. 



Each 50c; three for $1.25 



SAN LOUIS REY 



On the order of Opera, but twice the size, and 

 borne on beautifully branched stalks over three feet 

 high. Center of the fall shades from red-purple into 

 soft brown, with practically no veining, and a bright 

 orange beard sets it off. Each 25c; three for 50c 



SANTA BARBARA 



Here we have an iris which approaches perfec- 

 tion in the shape and size of its flowers, and in addi- 

 tion is possibly the finest and clearest lavender-blue 

 so far introduced. The exhibition rating of 91 is well 

 deserved. Having been in commerce sufficiently long 

 to become fairly plentiful, it can now be bought at 

 the following surprisingly low prices : 



Each 25c; three for 50c; ten for $1.50 



SEA DAWN 



A fine ruffled flower of coppery-old rose; with 

 brilliant orange beard. Very free producer of flow- 

 ers, creating a splendid and quite different color 

 mass. A fine companion to such things as Boadicea, 

 Talisman, Evolution, Euphony, and Midgard. 



Each 50c 



SELENE 



A pure white of large size and lovely form, and 

 of extra heavy substance. Introduced by Mr. Con- 

 nell, the man who gave us the famous Dauntless. 

 This variety was named for "The Moon Goddess". 



Each $2.00 



SENLAC 



Introduced by the Orpington Nurseries in Eng 

 land, tins richly colored iris stands out as the red- 

 dest yet to come from that country. With blooms 

 larger than the best of the Dominion race, it carries 

 its brilliant claret-red flowers on strongly branched 

 stems, and is so highly regarded in England that it is 

 rated at 91. Each 85c 



SENSATION 



A clear and crisp self of cornflower blue, (dean 

 cut in form, extra large, perfect in every way. There 

 has never been a season thus far that we have not run 

 out of stock of this variety. This year we have an 

 especially fine and extensive planting of it. Sensa- 

 tion, the peer of all the blue irises, is shown in color 

 on page 25. Each 75c; three for $2.00 



SHIRVAN 



With the same glowing soft brown and yellow 

 tones found in the rare rug of this same name, this 

 iris possesses an exquisite velvetyness and brilliance 

 equaled by few flowers. Some of our finest pansies 

 rival it. but seldom do we find an iris so alive and yet 

 with such depth of tone. A seedling from the hand of 

 Dr. Loomis, the originator of the famous Blue Velvet. 

 Of medium height. Stork limited. Each $5.00 



SIKH 



Although this iris was introduced in England 

 only recently, we were fortunate enough to secure 

 it four years ago, and now have a large supply 

 of well-grown plants. The color and form somewhat 

 resemble Bruno, but is both more brilliant and cop- 

 pery. Of largest size, on heavy stems, with broad 

 foliage. It bloomed in the fall in our gardens. 



Each 30c; three for 75c 



SIR MICHAEL 



Unquestionably the finest blue and purple bicolor 

 in the world. Standards are clear blue, falls deep 

 rich mahogany, with a beard of red-gold. Regarded 

 as the finest iris ever to come from England and a 

 sensation wherever shown. In our own wet North- 

 west, in dry and sunny California, and in Nebraska, 

 Ohio, and the colder Minnesota and New England, 

 we found it blooming equally well. A super iris, if 

 ever there was one. See page 125. 



Each 60c; three for $1.40 



SONATA 



A beautiful blend of the Mme. Durrand type. 

 Standards are olive-buff, shading to sulphine yellow 

 at the base. Falls lilac in the center, quickly shading 

 out to the color of the standards. A fine large flower 

 that is an excellent substitute where Mme. Durrand 

 is tender. Each 40c 



SOUTHLAND 



The finest and newest yellow fall bloomer. These 

 are listed and fully described on page 35. 



SPRING MAID 



Clear rose pink, with honey yellow flush through 

 the center. Flower stalks are almost four feet high, 

 strong, and well branched. The lovely fresh color- 

 ing, large size, and exquisite form, combine to make 

 it one of the finest in our list. 



H.M., A IS 1932. Each $3.00 



SUNBEAM 



Another May-flowering (intermediate) type of 

 iris. A rich, deep, canary yellow self, with standards 

 and falls of identical tone and without markings. A 

 fine companion for Darwin and Cottage tulips. 



Each 25c ; three for 50c
