SNOW KING (Jacob Sass ). A clear, 
large pure white. Very big and bold. 
Excellent branching, flowers finely 
formed. We consider this to be the 
showiest white in existence. Easily 
the finest of its type, ranking with 
Bridal Veil and Purissima, the two 
other whites which we consider as 
ahead of the field. Stock extremely 
scare. Not more than one to a cus¬ 
tomer. H. M., A. I. S., 1936. Mid¬ 
season. 40-inch. $15.00 
SNOW MAIDEN. A pure white inter¬ 
mediate which we introduced to Ameri¬ 
ca. Being bred in Canada, it is natur¬ 
ally a good doer in even the severest 
climates. Pure white in color, on ten- 
inch stems, its extreme floriferousness 
results in a solid mass of bloom— 
resembling a drift of new snow. As 
fine a border planting as can be imag¬ 
ined. One of the very earliest. H. M., 
A. I. S., 1936. 50c; 3 for $1.25 
SOUND MONEY. A clear yellow pumila 
hybrid that blooms, in established 
plantings, like a carpet of brilliant gold. 
Has been described as a yellow coun¬ 
terpart of Snow Maiden. Sometimes 
blooms in the fall. H. M., A. I. S., 
1936. Early. 6 to 9 inches. 50c 
SOUV. DE LOETITIA MICHAUD. Very 
large flowers of fine texture. The col¬ 
or is lobelia blue, shading lighter at 
the edges. Fragrant. Mid-season. 
40-inch. 35c; 3 for 75c 
SOUV. DE MME. GAUDICHAU. Dark, 
rich velvety blue purple bi-color of fine 
shape, finish and substance. Fragrant. 
Early. 36-inch. 20c; 3 for 40c 
SPRING CLOUD (Jory 1935.) “A 
worthy companion to Los Angeles 
and San Francisco,” which has been 
described by one of the nation’s most 
capable iris critics as “Stately and in¬ 
dispensable.” Just as large and just 
as distinct as the original Mitchell 
giant plicatas, this fine variety might 
easily have commanded a price as high 
as $20.00. Introduced at one quarter 
that sum, and now lower still. 
Standards heavily suffused blue on 
white, with falls clean white, except 
for a few inconspicuous blue markings. 
Hardy everywhere. Mid-season. 48- 
inch. $2.00; 3 for $5.00 
SPOKAN (Jacob Sass). A giant red- 
brown blend with yellow haft and 
prominent orange beard. Standards 
brown, overlaid reddish brown; falls 
ox-blood red, overlaid blackish brown. 
Mid-season. 36-inch. H. M., A. I. S., 
1936. $10.00 
SUMMER CLOUD. Largest of the iris 
of this type, having standards very 
light blue, with falls deeper blue. Very 
well proportioned. A production of 
Dr. Kirkland, the originator of Cop¬ 
per Lustre and Black Wings. Mid¬ 
season. 27-inch. 50c 
SUMMER TAN {Kirkland). A most at¬ 
tractive iris, and decidedly distinct. 
Well formed flowers of olive and tan, 
beautifully blended. Well branched, 
and a good grower. H. M., A. I. S., 
1936. $4.00 
SUNOL {Mitchell). A very popular yel¬ 
low blend, apparently in even greater 
favor in the Eastern portions of. the 
United States than in California, where 
it was originated. “A real ‘must- 
have’ blend” according to one of our 
East Coast customers; and another 
says “Of the blends, I like Sunol as 
well as any.” From the Mid-West, 
“Sunol was my pride and joy. A grand 
stalk 32-inch. Straight, well branched, 
strong, and a beautiful bronzy blend 
that stays in bloom well and stands 
rain and wind.” 
In color, faintly reminiscent of the 
older Ochracea, as it is iridescent gold¬ 
en bronze with a flush of lavender in 
the center of the falls. In form of 
bloom, Sunol is a model for any iris 
of equal height—for the stalks are low 
and ideally branched in the candela¬ 
brum type that has been typical of 
the Mohr, Mitchell, and Salbach iris 
we have introduced. Each stalk car¬ 
ries eight to nine of the beautiful 
flowers. First award, California Spring 
Garden Show, 1932 (Given only on 
rating of 90 or over). Mid-season. 
37-inch. $2.00; 3 for $5.00
