Santa Barbara (Mohr). One of the finest of 
the pure lavender blues. The size, substance, 
spreading horizontal falls, well branched 
stalks and the vigor of growth entitle this 
beautiful iris to be rated with the highest. 
See color picture, page 19. Award of Merit, 
R. H. S. 40".25c; 3 for 50c; 12 for $1.50 
Santa Clara (Mohr-M itch ell 1931). Tall, me¬ 
dium high branched, periwinkle blue self of 
noble and beautiful form. The flower is very 
large, flaring as to falls, heavy as to sub¬ 
stance and has ruffled edges. Being bred 
from Santa Barbara and Gaudichau, it car¬ 
ries the fine quality of the former into a 
darker flower. Early.40c; 3 for $1.00 
Seduction ( Cayeux 1933). Described by the 
introducer as his best plicata, this fine big 
flower is being released in America this year. 
Large and of good form, differing from the 
giant Mohr-Mitchell and the new Jory pli- 
catas in that the veinings are a lilac, rather 
than blue .$10.00 
Seminole (Farr). A bright red purple with 
orange beard.20c; 3 for 40c 
Senorita (Mohr-Mitchell). Pale lavender over¬ 
laid yellow. Lilac falls.15c; 3 for 30c

substance is heavy, the standards beautifully 
arched, the falls flaring and the stems tall 
and sturdy. Fragrant. Late... $1.00; 3 for $2.50 
Shasta (Mohr-Mitchell 1921). This new white 
of different parentage than Purissima is also 
entirely distinct in style and effect and well 
worthy of being named for California’s great 
white-capped mountain. The 36" stalks are 
well but high branched. Free flowering and 
unexcelled in mass planting.. .35c; 3 for 70c 
Shining Waters (Essig). The finest of the 
Essig blues, and probably the very best clear 
light blue in commerce. Tall and stately, 
this splendid large iris carries twelve or more 
buds to each of its well branched stalks. 
Color, clear campanula blue. 48". 
.$3.50; 3 for $10.00

many as superior even to that other great 
Essig blue, Shining Waters. Very refined, 
having a smooth finish and graceful form. 
Soft, clear blue.$3.50; 3 for $10.00

Sir Michael (Yeld). Generally considered to 
be the finest blue bi-color. A handsome, up¬ 
standing iris that ranks as one of the best 
ever produced. The standards are clear blue 
and the falls are a brighter live shade of 
royal purple. 50c each 
Snow Maiden (Chadwick). New. Pure white 
dwarf. Very clear in color and so full of bloom 
that an established planting in flower re¬ 
sembles a drift of new snow.$1.00

beautiful form and fine substance. Tall. 
.20c; 3 for 40c

stance. Fragrant. 36".20c; 3 for 40c

orange beard. Resembles King Tut, but 
larger and browner. Comparable to Neon in 
brightness.$15.00
