SISTER (Sturt. 1933) Sister would be different! Instead of 
white, overlaid with pink, as so many have, this is light pink, 
with a white overlay. The gracefully poised flower has a smooth 
texture and finish. 40". $1.00 
SNOW KING (H. P. Sass 1935) A king among the snow 
white irises, kingly in stature, in bearing and in size. Of fault¬ 
less form, this '‘unmarred white” iris with flaring falls, will 
reign for years. 36". H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $15.00 
SPOKAN (J. Sass 1933) Spokan flaunts its colors in the face 
of a startled iris world. The lustrous flowers are larger and 
better than King Tut, the S. being a light reddish-brown, and 
the large F. having a black-brown overlay on ox-blood red. 
36". H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $10.00 
SPRING CLOUD (Jory 1935) Blue California sky over 
fleecy clouds! A sturdily growing plicata, whose large, full S. 
are so dotted and broadly edged with lavender, that almost 
none of the white ground is left; and whose broad, hanging F. 
are white, with a very faint edging of blue. 44". $2.00 
SPRING MAID (Loom. 1932) A honey-pink blend, tall and 
finely branched, with well-formed blooms. 46". H.M., A.I.S., 
1932. $.75 
STANWIX (Hall 1933) A fine, broad-petalled flower of 
medium blue, with heavy substance. 40". $2.00 
SUMMER CLOUD (Kirk. 1931) White clouds on a summer 
sky. An iris of rare loveliness, with palest blue to white S. and 
crisp sky-blue F. 32". $.75 
SUMMER TAN (Kirk. 1934) Summer skies with light clouds 
lead to Summer Tan — a golden tan, in this case, the tan made up 
of blended lavender and copper. This iris is softly lovely, with 
iridescent buff S. and bronzed pink F., also iridescent. The 
beard is vivid, the stalk excellent. Early. 32". H.M., A.I.S., 
1936. $4.00 
SUNDIPT (Wmsn. 1934) Sunbeams from the skies and clouds 
dipt down and gave us a glowing yellow iris, tall and of fine 
form, that has great charm and grace. 42". 3 for $5.00, $2.00 
SUNMIST (Nich. 1934) And then comes a summer mist of 
creamy white, so lit by the sun’s rays as to turn parts of it into 
gold. The beautifully poised bloom has S. of creamy white, 
and semi-flaring F. of the same, washed with sparkling gold 
through the center. Form, substance, and branching are all 
excellent. A G-O-O-D iris. 36". H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $5.00 
SUNOL (M. M. 1933) The ol’ sun himself, slightly clouded 
over with lavender. The S. are yellow; the F. are edged with 
the same, around a center that is lavender-flushed, with a bit 
of brown. Lovelier and lovelier as the clump increases in size. 
37". $2.00 
SUN-PINK (Kell. 1936) Pink all over, with sunny gold at the 
center. Although the form is not perfect, this is a very lively 
blend. The crinkled, rather open S. are dusky pink, shading 
to yellow at the base,- the straight-hanging F. are gold near the 
haft, shading to dusky pink. The beard is bright gold, the stalk 
very fine. 36". $5.00 
SUNTAN (Mitch. 1935) “The attractiveness of a beautiful 
well-sunned bathing girl. A marvelous thing! The S. are a 
real orange that glitters; the fine rounded F. are rich brown, 
with margins to match the S. The substance is good; the slender 
stems are very fine. 32". H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $4.00 
SWEET ALIBI (White 1935) If only every alibi were as 
sweet as this, we would all be claiming them! A “sweet pretty” 
primrose yellow, very pale. The sweetly formed bloom, in 
perfect proportion, has wide rounded petals, with a hint of 
deeper yellow at the center of the flower. 40". H.M., A.I.S., 
1936. $3.50 
SYLVIA LENT (Shull 1933) Sylvia is all in yellow and white. 
The S. are a pale maize yellow; the flaring F. are white, trimmed 
with yellow. 36". 3 for $5.00, $2.00 
TALISMAN (Murr. 1930) Happy in its coloring, which is a 
blend of soft tones. The yellow S. have an iridescent flush of 
pink near the edges, with a yellow edge,- the F. are pink, flushed 
with a metallic blue. 32". 3 for $1.00, $.50 
TAPESTRY (Ayres 1931) The softly blended tones of a 17th 
Century tapestry, smoked by time into dull mulberry, deep red 
and dusty rose. 3 for $1.15, $.50 
TARANTELLA (Sass-Schr. 1935) A dance of sunny Italy, 
whose tempo increases as the dance progresses. We know that 
this iris, the first of the real pink plicatas, will have the same 
increase in the tempo of its popularity. The white ground of 
the flower has very trim markings of real pink. $8.00 
TENAYA (Essig 1933) Far darker and richer than Sir Knight, 
but not as tall and stately. The tones are dark indigo and blackish 
velvety purple. 36". H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $1.25 
THE BLACK DOUGLAS (J. Sass 1934) The Black Douglas 
rides alone, fearless of competition with other dark irises,- his 
coloring, carriage and form are all superb. The large blooms 
are a rich deep violet-blue, with a black sheen on the falls. 
36". H.M., A.I.S., 1936. $5.00 
THEME (Loth. 1932) A theme peculiarly its own, has this 
iris of bronze-grey with lavender reflections. The F. have a 
hint of tan and are veined with petunia-violet. 32". H.M., 
A.I.S., 1932. $.75 
THEODOLINDA (Ayres 1932) A larger plicata than Los 
Angeles, but you must picture Theodolinda in a broad brimmed 
garden hat, flapping in the breeze! The extra large blooms are 
of white satin, very definitely marked with a button-hole edging 
of lavender on the standards. 42". $1.25 
THEODORE (Hard.) More of a bicolor than Paulette, this 
iris is difficult to overlook in the garden, with its large fine 
blooms on tall stalks. 42". $.50 
THISTLEDOWN (Sturt. 1933) Carried in by the breeze — 
light, airy, charmingly dainty in coloring — such is Thistledown. 
The ground is white, with a very pale pink flush on the S. and 
the edges of the F. Floriferous and fast growing. Yes — needless 
to say, we like it! 36". 3 for $3.00, $1.25 
TIGER-TIGER (Ware. 1932) A bright clump in the garden; 
an iris whose dull gold S. and brilliant bronze-red F. make up 
large blooms of heavy substance that are well carried on good 
stalks. 36". $1.00 
TIMAGAMI (Kirk. 1935) A lake in Canada, that Dr. Kirkland 
found for his summer home,- a copper iris that Dr. Kirkland found 
one morning among his seedlings. The golden-tan S. are rose 
flushed; the F. are shaded with red; all the petals have copper 
tones at the base. Early. 36". $5.00
