~=z-: Senlac 



A group of San Francisco growing in the garden 

 of George D. Jopson, at Saugerties, N. Y. 



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 Ncav England in flowering it suc- 

 cessfully, leads us to suggest that it probably is 

 hardier than at first suspected. Note the picture of it 

 growing in New York state. 



Each 75c ; three for $2.00 



San Diego 



Monster blue, a seedling of Mme. Gaudichau, with 

 the Mesopotamica 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 75c; three for $2.00 



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 



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 $3.00 



Introduced by the Orpington Nurseries in Eng- 

 land, this 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 $2.50 



Sensation 



A clear and crisp self of cornflower blue, perfect 

 in every way. Sensation was awarded the silver cup 

 for the most outstanding flower in the Boston iris 

 show, June 1931. It has no peer among the blue selfs. 



Each $1.00; three for $2.50 



Sikh 



Although this iris was introduced in England 

 only recently, we Avere 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 50c; three for $1.00 



Sir Michael 



Unquestionably the finest blixe 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 Avet North- 

 west, in dry and snnny 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. Each 85c; three for $2.25 



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 50c 



Spring Maid 



Clear rose pink, with honey yellow flush through 

 the center. Flower stalks are almost four feet high, 

 strong, and Avell branched. The lovely fresh color-

 it one of the finest in our list.

 vant, large in size, and of extra good garden effect.

 a tremendous increaser. This iris has been awarded
