ST. LOUIS (Wies. ’33) The deepest possible blue-purple self of even tone and texture with har¬ 
monious beard, St. Louis, large and well formed, may well become the leader in this class. 
It’s a tall iris, of rapid growth and profuse bloom. 48". $4.00 
SACHEM (Loom. ’31) Almost brick red in color, resembling King Tut, but brighter, with a more 
-velvety texture and a larger bloom. Unfortunately ,we have not found it as vigorous here 
as the other iris. 40". $0.65 
SAN DIEGO (M. M. ’29) A popular iris, and justly so, with the huge blooms of deep purplish 
blue well placed on unusually tall stems. The beard is blue, running into orange, not con¬ 
spicuous. 46". H.M., A.I.S.'31 .... j .... $0.65 
SAN FRANCISCO (M. M. ’27) If you want a large, tall growing plicata, with a bit more blue 
in it than there is in Los Angeles, you’ll like this iris. Both are extraordinarily large fine blooms,- 
both need dry locations in the garden, 44". Dykes’ Medal ’27..., $0.65 
SEDUCTION (Cay. ’33) A rather new plicata from France, with an ivory white ground color. 
"The S, are feathered with deep lilac; the F. are powdered and sanded with browny lilac 
at the base, merging to the same deep lilac at margins,” C.M., S.N.FH.F. ’33 and Special 
Prize, Paris. $7.50 
SELENE (Conn. ’31) This silvery white "Moon Goddess” rises very early in the garden. It i§, in 
fact, the first of the large whites to bloom. A very long large white of fair substance. FH.M., 
A.I.S.’32. 3 for $1.45; $0.65 
SENECA (Ashley ’31) This plicata has the white ground of the S. almost completely overlaid with 
deep livid purple; the white F. have heavy venations of violet-carmine at the edges, shading 
lighter towards the center. 28". $0.75 
SENLAC (Bliss ’29) This iris makes a fine bright ruby-red mass in the garden. The stalks are tall 
and particularly well branched, 40". 3 for $1.30; $0.65 
SEPTEMBER DAWN (Nich. '34) This September Dawn is a brilliant one — yellow, suffused and 
edged with crimson. The color scheme applies to both the S. and the F. of the flowers, which 
are not large, but quite in keeping for the height of the stems. A glorious mass for the front of 
the border. 26". $5.00 
SERENADE (Flail ’26) Another year has gone by and our customers continue to agree with us 
that Serenade is the loveliest of the low priced pink irises. More colorful than Airy Dream; 
especially lovely with pale blue and white. 34". 3 for $2.00; $0.75 
SERENITE (Cay. ’31) An unclouded blend of soft yellows and blues that gives us a serene and 
peaceful moment among the bright excitements of the garden. The buff-yellow S. have a 
faint haze of blue-lavender; the wide flaring F. of pastel blue, shade to soft yellow at the 
edges and throat. The beard is gold. 48". C.M., S.N.F1.F. $6.00 
SESOSTRIS (Cay. ’31) The first Sesostris may have been legendary, but the iris is alive with a mar¬ 
velous blending of dark red-purple S. and garnet-red F. that are conspicuously margined with 
clear violet. An impressive iris that is greatly admired. $2.50 
SHAH JEHAN (Neel. ’32) The old Jehan fought many a lusty war for supremacy,- this Jehan 
jumped into quick leadership among the late, soft blended variegatas. The pale yellow S. 
have a glistening rose sheen; the unveined red-brown F. are narrowly edged with yellow. 
The Substance is heavy, the blooming time very late. English Bronze Medal. $3.00 
SHELL PINK (Murr. ’32) A pink of softly blended hues. We have not seen this iris, but it is said 
to be mighty lovely. $ 0.75
