SEADEEP Each $1.00 



This is the finest blue hicolor in our catalog. A cross of Buto 

 with Santa Barbara, it combines the deep rich color of the 

 former in the falls with the clean blue of the latter in the 

 standards. It is tall and well branched, blooms prolifically, 

 and the slightly frilled flowers are produced in profusion. 



SHAH JEHAN Each 25c 



Standards are creamy buff faintly edged lavender, the falls 

 very rich velvety chestnut merging into purple, thence grad- 

 ually fading out to a margin that repeats the color in the 

 standards. Beard is rich orange. An oriental blend. 



SETTING SUN Each $4.00 



A very deep but fiery red copper, almost blackish in certain 

 lights, a ball of fire in others. The standards are rose-copper, 

 with yellow at the base. A recent thing from the late Dr 

 Kirkland, originator of Copper Lustre. 



SIR KNIGHT Each 40c 



Rich purple bicolor. with more clear purple and less bronze 

 than Destiny. Gigantic in size, with petals like plush, it ranks 

 as one of the best of dark irises. 



SHINING WATERS Each 30c 



Clear and clean blue, like the reflection of an azure sky in 

 crystal waters. The wax-like texture of the petals has a strik- 

 ing contrast in the orange beards. Height 4 feet, large, 

 flaring falls, but a little tender. 



SIEGFRIED Each $4.00 



An iris they are all talking about, and one which every 

 grower will want to own, once the price is within reach. A 

 flower of really huge size, pale sulphur yellow, overlaid with 

 a stippling and dotting of purple. A slightly buffy overtone 

 blends the colors together. Shown in natural color on page 1 3. 



SIERRA BLUE Each 40c 



A soft, clear, enamcl-like blue. It is of tall and stately habit, 

 sometimes reaching over 5 feet, w ith many buds to the stalk. 

 In 1935 it won the Dykes medal, and is a consistent flower 

 show w inner. See page 1 1 . 



SIR LAUNCELOT Each 50c 



Gleaming chestnut red, with bright golden brown standards. 

 It is lighter than Spokan, with more orange in it, and with 

 brighter red falls. Of good size and medium height. 



SMOLDER Each $3.00 



Deep blackish purple, with red underglow, self color. Beard 

 brown, giving the flower a very deep and especially rich ap- 

 pearance. Fragrant, well branched, and of large size. 



SNOW MAIDEN Each 25c 



A pure white of very low growth, 10 inches, clean and lo\ ely, 

 producing an almost unbelievable quantity of bloom. Like a 

 drift of newly fallen snow. Blooms with the tulips. 



SNOWKING ' Each 90c 



Regal in bearing, w ith broadly flaring great white blossoms, 

 lit with gold at the throat. Heavy of substance, bold and 

 strong in grow,ing habit, 3 feet tall. A wonderful and thor- 

 oughly hardy white from the Sasses. 



SOLITUDE Each 50c 



Nothing gay or flashy about this flower, but for those who 

 can appreciate subtle beauty in a sombre iris we are certain 

 this one will be most welcome. A self of blackish mulberry, 

 with beard in harmony. 



ITASCA 



SOUV. DE F. DENIS Each $2.00 



Cayeux's entry for the blackest iris. It is indeed dark, with 

 squarely held falls and a deep bronzy beard. Neither large 

 nor tall, but very dark. 



SPOKAN Each 40c 



.A solidly colored deep chestnut red, of great size — one of the 

 \'ery largest — with an odd coppery suffusion throughout. The 

 standards are of a brownish tone, and the center is highly 

 lighted with gold. At this price you should not defer having 

 it in your collection. 



SPRING IDYL Each $5.00 



Milk white shading into orchid pink, the pink very pro- 

 nounced at the top of the standards and the bottom of the 

 falls. Beard lemon. The stems are tall and wiry, the blossoms 

 amply spaced. This iris is a very delicate affair, giving a sort 

 of apple blossom effect in the garden. It provides a remark- 

 ably pink note, a truly lovely new thing from E. G. Lapham, 

 of Elkhart, Indiana. 



STAINED GLASS Each $8.00 



A copper-red 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, 

 glowing, almost aflame! Make no mistake, this is not a red 

 iris, but a solid copper of a reddish tone, the same all over 

 except for the bronze yellow beard. From Dr. Wilhelm, of 

 Chicago, for whom w e introduced it last season. See page 5 



SWEET ALIBI Each 75c 



Deep cream w ith an inw ard glow of green, a \ ery large flow er 

 and vigorous grower. From California, it has pro\en reliable 

 in the mid-West and East.
