Stylosa (Winter blooming iris). Plants are low 
growing with long grass-like 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). Standards very 
light blue, falls clear but slightly deeper blue.

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". ,25c; 3 for 50c 
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 Gar¬ 
den Show, Oakland, Calif., 1932. (Given only 
on rating of 90 or over.) 37".$6.00

Tioga (Salbach 1931). This fine deep velvety 
blue and violet bi-color 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.. $1.00; 3 for $2.50

flower than Caroline E. Stringer, with the 
same beautiful pink tone.25c; 3 for 50c

Wambliska (J. Sass 1931). Large, perfectly 
formed pure white, with a bluish sheen at the 
center. Pale yellow beard with a few yellow 
stripes at the haft. Crinkled. Hon. Ment., 
A. I. S., 1931.$1.00 each 
William Mohr (Mohr). A wonderful hybrid 
from Parisiana X Gatesii. The ground color 
is pale lilac, standards flushed darker, the 
whole flower beautifully veined manganese 
violet. Substance and shape of the very best, 
a very large flower; actual measurements 
showing standards 3 1 / 4" by 2%" and falls 3" 
by 2". Stems strong and rigid, 20" to 24", 
usually four flowers on each. Splendid in 
mass and a rapid increaser. Practically the 
only iris which can be grown in window or 
other boxes or pots. 
William Mohr has proven itself hardy in 
so many Eastern gardens we predict that as 
soon as stock is available, this beautiful iris 
will supplant Susiana, the Mourning Iris, 
which is difficult to raise even in California.

W. R. Dykes (Dykes). This remarkable Eng¬ 
lish novelty which is one of the parents of 
Happy Days (Mitchell 1934) is one of the 
finest for breeders, and itself gives immense, 
large yellow blooms. A markedly large per¬ 
centage of Dykes seedlings produce flowers 
as large, or even larger than Dykes itself. 
Long broad falls, sometimes flecked with 
purple.$2.00 each
