iris?" Plant very vigorous with good foliage. Flowers fragrant. $3.50 
SAN DIEGO (Mohr-Mitchell)

SAN FRANCISCO (Mohr-Mitchell) 
This iris was awarded the Dykes Medal as the best American 
introduction of 1927. Tall stems branching low and wide carry the 
large flowers of white distinctly edged with lavender blue. A 
superior variety. 44 inches. 50c,- 3 for $1.25 
SAN GABRIEL (Dean) 
We consider this one of the finest irises in cultivation for the 
milder climates. While not recommended for the East, where its 
exceptionally early growth often gets caught in a late freeze, for 
Southern California gardens this iris is ideal. The large flowers are 
a lustrous lavender flushed with rosy mauve and have a decided and 
pleasing fragrance. 
San Gabriel comes into flower very early in the season, usually 
by the first of March, and continues blooming for many weeks. It is 
particularly vigorous and is the tallest iris we grow. We have 
actually measured stalks 6 feet high. The foliage is green and beau¬ 
tiful all year. 35c; 3 for 75c; 12 for $2.50 
SENSATION (Cayeux) 
Magnificent clear blue flowers of flaring form and fine substance 
on tall, powerful stems. A truly outstanding iris. 4 feet. 
50c ; 3 for $1.00 
SHINING WATERS (Essig) 
A reflection of the clear blue western skies in still, shining waters. 
The best of the many smooth, clear blues obtained after years of 
progressive breeding along a particular line. The self color is about 
midway between the shades of the darker Sierra Blue and the 
lighter Pale Moonlight, yet it is really not a competitor of either. 
The firm, wax-like texture and perfect finish, symmetry, and poise of 
the falls and standards are enhanced by a bright orange beard. The 
flowering stalks are straight, three to four-branched and from four to 
five feet tall. It combines a smoothness and finish that is unsurpassed, 
with the size and poise of Easter Morn. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
SIERRA BLUE (Essig) 
The new Dykes Medal winner, signifying the finest iris in the 
country. A natural color illustration of Sierra Blue will be found on 
the front cover, but only by actually growing this magnificent iris 
can its full glory be realized. 
The flowers are simply enormous and are carried on powerful, 
well-branched stems from four to five feet tall. Yet in spite of its 
size, Sierra Blue is one of the most refined irises grown. The clear¬ 
ness of color, the smoothness of texture, and the grace and poise 
with which the flowers carry themselves, combine to make Sierra 
Blue the Dykes Medal iris that it is. 
As the original introducers of this iris, we are prepared to send 
you extra large, vigorous plants of superior quality. 
$3.00; 3 for $7.50
