CARL SALBACH • IRISES 
[17 
Souv. de Loetitia Michaud (Millet). Very large 
flowers of fine texture. The color is lobelia 
blue, shading lighter at the edges. Fragrant. 
40".60c; 3 for $1.50 
Souv. de Mme. Gaudichau. Dark velvety blue 
purple bicolor of fine shape, finish and ex¬ 
ceptional substance. Fragrant. 36". 
.25c; 3 for 50c 
Stylosa (.Winter blooming iris). Plants are low 
growing with long grasslike foliage. Flow¬ 
ers lavender blue with orange tongue. De¬ 
lightfully fragrant. Begins blooming in Sep¬ 
tember on the Pacific Coast and continues 
throughout the winter. Should be planted 
in spring. Beardless.25c; 3 for 50c 
Summer Cloud (Kirkland 1931). The stand¬ 
ards first appear as light blue, soon chang¬ 
ing to a gray blue white like a cloud in the 
summer sky. The falls are blue as the sky 
itself. This combination of color is wonder¬ 
fully pleasing. The flower is large and well 
proportioned; the stem is 32" tall, and foli¬ 
age abundant. The plant is hardy and a 
strong grower. Midseason.$2.50 
Sunbeam (Murrell 1928). A rich deep canary 
yellow self, standards and falls being identi¬ 
cal in tone and without markings. The form 
is round, texture very smooth, and the flow¬ 
ers abundant. Very early. 20". .35c; 3 for 70c 
Sunol (Mohr-Mitchell 1933). This remarkable 
yellow blend bears some resemblance to 
Ochracea in coloring, but the two should 
not be mentioned in the same breath when 
size and form are considered. 
Sunol is a beautiful iridescent golden 
bronze with a flush of lavender in the cen¬ 
ter of falls. The form of the bloom is ex¬ 
cellent, and the low branching candelabrum 
type stems carry eight to nine of the beau¬ 
tiful flowers. Plant tall and substance of 
flowers excellent. First award Spring 
Garden Show, Oakland, Calif., 1932. (Given 
only on rating of 90 or over.) 37".$10.00 
Surprise (Cooley). Tall blue, flushed helio¬ 
trope.35c; 3 for 70c 
Sunset —See Ochracea. 
Susan Bliss (Bliss). Rosy lilac pink with or¬ 
ange beard. Blooms freely and the color 
carries well. Late and tall_25c; 3 for 50c 
Talisman (Murrell). One of the finest small 
iris grown. A blend of apricot, yellow, and 
pinkish shades that is most unusual. Stand¬ 
ards yellow with rosy pink veining at tips. 
Falls rosy lavender pink with yellow reticu¬ 
lations. Golden haft. 20".$2.50 
Tenebrae (Bliss). A fine dark iris. Standards 
purple, with falls rich velvety black purple. 
.25c; 3 for 50c 
Tenaya (Essig). A taller, better branched 
Modoc. Has the same glowing velvety black¬ 
ish red-purple, and just as bright. We re¬ 
gard this as one of Prof. Essig’s finest in¬ 
troductions since Easter Morn. Very showy.

Geoffrey Pilkington and a planting of Purissima 
in his garden—Liverpool, England. 
Tiger-Tiger (Wareham 1932). A fine red iris 
from the Wareham collection. Very bright, 
and of good size and habit. Distinct from 
Dauntless, Rubeo, and the other reds. Late. 
Brown standards, velvet red falls.$5.00 
Trostringer (Sass). A much larger and taller 
flower than Caroline E. Stringer, with the 
same beautiful pink tone.25c; 3 for 50c 
Tioga (Salbach 1931). This fine deep velvety 
blue and violet bicolor has received much 
praise, both in our own and other gardens. 
A tall, well branched iris that is most regal 
in appearance. The large broad falls are 
horizontal and both falls and standards are 
well proportioned. Heavy substance and 
smooth texture, and delightfully fragrant. 
Blooms over a long period. The finest we 
have seen in this type of iris.$2.00 
True Delight (Sturtevant). A lovely white 
plicata with rose colored venation and style 
arms. 36".25c; 3 for 50c
